Ahmad Sekou Touré
Ahmad Sekou Touré was a prominent Guinean politician and the first President of Guinea, serving from 1958 until his death in 1984. A key figure in the African independence movement, he led Guinea to independence from French colonial rule in 1958 and became an influential leader in the Pan-African movement. Sekou Touré was known for his socialist policies and emphasis on national sovereignty, but his regime also faced criticism for authoritarian practices and human rights abuses. His legacy remains complex, as he is both celebrated for his role in promoting African self-determination and criticized for his governance style.
