The League of African Ambassadors expresses its profound sadness at the death of Sam Nujoma, Namibia's first president and an emblematic figure in the struggle for independence. Passing away at the age of 95, this revolutionary and anti-apartheid activist made history by guiding his country from 1990 to 2005, from oppression to democracy.
Renowned for his unwavering commitment to African unity and the rights of marginalized populations, Nujoma's legacy extends beyond Namibia's borders.
In a letter of condolence sent to the President of Namibia, His Excellency Hage Geingob, and signed by the League's President, Ambassador Nwanne Ominyi, the League salutes a visionary leader, a symbol of courage and justice. His fight for the freedom and dignity of Africans continues to inspire future generations.
