President Akufo-Addo Pays Tribute to Jimmy Carter, A Champion of Human Rights and Democracy


Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has joined the global community in mourning the passing of former US President Jimmy Carter, who died on Sunday at the age of 100. In a heartfelt statement, President Akufo-Addo celebrated Carter's remarkable life, legacy, and contributions to humanity.


Describing Carter as a "statesman, humanitarian, peacemaker, advocate for democracy and human rights, tireless champion for the underprivileged, and a God-fearing man," President Akufo-Addo acknowledged the significant impact of his passing. "The world has, indeed, lost a good man," he said, highlighting Carter's empathy and humanity, which resonated deeply across borders.


Carter's legacy extends far beyond his presidency, which spanned from 1977 to 1981. His commitment to democracy, human rights, and humanitarian work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Through the Carter Center, which he founded, Carter worked tirelessly to promote peace, democracy, and human rights worldwide.


In Ghana, Carter's efforts to eradicate guinea worm disease had a profound impact, bringing immense relief to countless communities. President Akufo-Addo acknowledged this contribution, expressing gratitude for Carter's devotion to democracy and human rights, which resonated deeply with the Ghanaian nation.


President Akufo-Addo extended his heartfelt condolences to the Carter family, President Joe Biden, and the government and people of the United States. He concluded his statement by saying, "May his soul rest in perfect peace in the Bosom of the Almighty until the Last Day of the Resurrection when we shall all meet again. Amen."


Jimmy Carter's remarkable life and legacy serve as a testament to his unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. As the global community mourns his passing, we remember his tireless efforts to promote peace, democracy, and human rights, and we honor his memory by continuing to strive for a more just and equitable world.
