The Sudanese-born British businessman Mo Ibrahim has published his first annual Index of African Governance, which ranks African governments according to their quality . It evaluated all 48 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa on criteria such as safety and security, human rights, corruption, transparency, economic development and investment in human resources.
The country with the status of best-governed country in Africa is the island of Mauritius with a population of 1.2 million, lying in the Indian Ocean to the east of Madagascar.
The worst-governed country is Somalia, which comes as no surprise given that this East African nation has hardly had any kind of government for years. It is closely followed by Zaire, Chad and Sudan, which is described as being the "most dangerous" country in Africa.

Commentary and analysis to persuade people to become socialist and to act for themselves, organizing democratically and without leaders, to bring about a world of common ownership and free access. We are solely concerned with building a movement of socialists for socialism. We are not reformists with a programme of policies to patch up capitalism.
