Former Ghanian President Jerry John Rawlings has died at the age of 73.
Rawlings led two coups, first in 1979, before twice being elected President in multi-party polls.
A charismatic figure, he first seized power railing against corruption and was responsible for executing several former Heads of State for their alleged graft and mismanagement.
He was also seen as a champion of the poor, but came to be criticised for alleged human rights abuses.
A week of national mourning has been announced in Ghana in his honour.
