Post-presidency Activities
October 2010, Jerry Rawlings was named AU Envoy to Somalia. African Union chief Jean Ping appointed Rawlings to this position and he believed that Rawlings, would be tasked with "mobilising the continent and the rest of the international community to fully assume its responsibilities and contribute more actively to the quest for peace, security and reconciliation in Somalia".
He has given lectures in universities, including at the Oxford University. He has continued his heavy criticism even with his former party back in power with his former vice-president, John Atta Mills.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
