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:
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
