Summary/Abstract: The Mo Ibrahim Foundation on 8 March awarded Mohammadou Issoufou, the outgoing president of Niger, a country that is the European Union’s most important partner in the control of irregular migration, a prestigious award for exemplary leadership. The 10 years of Issoufou’s rule serve as an example for neighbouring Mali and could be helpful in limiting the problem of unconstitutional third cadencies in West Africa.
