I was a Malawian politician and economist from 2004 until I died. Before 2005, I was a politician for the United Democratic Front. I was born on February 24, 1934 in Thyolo, Nyasaland. I married Ethel Mutharika in 2006. My parents and I were Roman Catholics. I was elected Chairman of the AU in January of 2010.
 * Background Information- **

The UN (United Nations), European Union, and, International Rescue Committee (IRC) would agree with my ideas because even though they ensured their national security, they want every country to have their national security as well. All these organizations all focusing on helping developing countries so they all share a common goal.

I, President Bingu Wa Mutharika, will fight for the security and safety of all the people of Africa and will work hard to achieve all four benchmarks of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. I need to recover the homes of many refugees among the country an assure that no terrorist will threaten the lives of others that they want.
 * Benchmarks **


 * Security and Safety:** Africa experienced 75 suicide bombings in 2011, killing about 3000 people and destroying 60 homes and buildings. I have made scouts and border control to make sure that any suspicious activity can be reported and prevented. Remember our main goal is to promote peace, security, and stability on the continent.


 * Participation and Human Rights:** In its first decades, the OAU’s primary objective was to protect the sovereignty recently achieved by African states and to help those still under colonial or racist rule to achieve independence. From 1963 to 1994, the OAU provided financial and military support to independence movements in Angola, Algeria, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Príncipe, São Tomé, and white minority-ruled South Africa.

**Sustainable Economic Opportunity-** Africa is becoming more integrated in the world economy and its partnerships are diversifying, revealing unprecedented economic opportunities. But African citizens and investors worry that increased competition in local and export markets will turn against them. Governments are struggling to find ways to maximize benefits, minimize risks and provide Africans with the economic and social opportunities that match the needs of a growing population.

The Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity issued a Declaration calling for the establishment of the African Union, to accelerate the process of integration in the continent to enable it play its rightful role in the global economy while addressing multifaceted social, economic and political problems compounded as they are by certain negative aspects of globalisation.
 * Human Development-** The African Union can be described as an event of importance for the evolution in Africa.

The African Union deserves the 5 million dollars because the money could go to hiring more troops, upgrading weapons, buying more aircraft, etc. This in time will help the African Union prevent future problems between regions, speed the process of solving any conflicts, and we won’t have to be dependent on our supporters like the UN. One huge problem that has been occurring in Africa is terrorism. With the 5 million dollars, we can rebuild from suicide bombings, and help make homes for those who are homeless.
