LEADER
Once again, there is no winner of a $5 million award for African leadership.
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation has announced that no former African leader has met the "very high bar" for one of the world's richest prizes in 2016.
The Ibrahim Prize has been awarded just five times since it was established in 2006. Previous winners include former leaders of Botswana, Namibia, Cape Verde, Mozambique and former South African leader Nelson Mandela was named the inaugural honorary laureate in 2007.
Candidates are African heads of state or government who have left office in the past three years, been democratically elected, served their constitutionally mandated term and must also show "exceptional leadership."
