These are the leaders I feel made a monumental difference in the African continent & made improvements for the betterment of their people as well as Africans in general:
1) Hannibal: I feel this man is the original King Cetshwayo, he fought against the Roman Empire inflicting devastating defeats. He was a general in the Carthage military. I feel his name has echoed throughout history for a reason & should continue to be immortalized through the ages.
2) Akhenaten / Amenhotep IV: I, actually, did not believe that Egypt had black Pharoahs but to my surprise, they did. Egypt was conquered by an African tribe called the Nubians from further up the Nile.
3) Sankara.
4) Idi Amin: I feel Idi Amin Dada challenged the inferiority complex that is so frequently bestowed upon Africans. Even if some claim that he was mad, I think he turned the tables on the global status quo. When Africans were thought of as obedient & submissive to other races, he refused to be the common obedient & submissive African that the world is so used to.
5) Kofi Annan: The first black leader of the UN & a shining example of what a black male could be with some direction.
