You might be interested in the similar story of Jerry Rawlings of Ghana, as told here by Matt Lakeman: https://mattlakeman.org/2023/10/09/notes-on-ghana/ https://mattlakeman.org/2023/10/09/notes-on-ghana/ His recent "Notes on [...]" series describing different countries in West Africa is full of interesting stuff.
