Congo's Very Powerful Ruler: Denis Sassou-Nguesso

In March of 2021, after having been in power for a total of 36 years, 77 year old Denis Sassou Nguesso, clinched 88% of the vote in the elections held in the Republic of the Congo, also known as Congo-Brazzaville. This was amidst accusations of vote irregularities, including ballot box stuffing. Sassou has been in power for 36 of the 61 years this oil-rich central African country has been independent and this victory extended his rule to 2026, with the possibility of him being in charge even up until 2031. Denis Sassou Nguesso is one of Africa's longest-serving leaders, having first come to power four decades ago. He was installed as president by the military in 1979 and lost his position in the country's first multi-party elections in 1992. However, it was through force that Sassou Nguesso again rose to the country's top office. On October 24, 1997, he overthrew his successor, Pascal Lissouba, at the end of a war that left several thousand dead and that remains a painful wound within Congolese society. This is the story of the rise and fall and rise again of Denis Sassou-Nguesso, a man nick-named by his fellow African Leaders as the Emperor of the Republic of Congo. *************************************************************************************** Sources: Encyclopedia of African History 3-Volume Set Edited By Kevin Shillington Africa: A Modern History Book by Guy Arnold https://www.britannica.com/biography/... http://zes.gouv.cg/en/about/congo/pre... https://www.theguardian.com/global-de... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa... https://www.globalsecurity.org/milita... https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Hornet/i... https://www.dw.com/en/republic-of-con... https://qz.com/africa/1682083/congo-b... ******************************************************************************************* Music: Heartbreaking Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
