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:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
