Former President John Mahama has launched the Russian language translation of his memoir, ‘My First Coup D’etat and Other Stories from the Lost Decades of Africa’ at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
Speaking about the book published in July 2012, Mr Mahama said it is a memoir chronicling his upbringing as a young African boy as well as the history of Ghana and Africa during times of political and economic instability between the 1970s and 1990s. He mentioned that the book has also been translated into Portuguese.
Mr. Mahama expressed hope that the book would find a place in Russian academia for those interested in learning more about Africa.
