Namibia has entered a period of national mourning following the death of its founding president, Sam Nujoma, at the age of 95.
Nujoma, who served as Namibia’s first president from 1990 to 2005, was a key figure in the country’s independence movement against South African rule.
His leadership of SWAPO (South West Africa People’s Organization) played a critical role in securing Namibia’s freedom, making him one of Africa’s most prominent liberation leaders.
Current President Nangolo Mbumba announced Nujoma’s passing, revealing he had been hospitalized for weeks before succumbing to illness.
Tributes have poured in from Namibian citizens, African leaders, and global dignitaries, recognizing his legacy as a revolutionary and statesman.
The government is expected to declare official mourning and plan a state funeral to honor his contributions.
As Namibia reflects on its journey to independence, Nujoma’s impact will remain deeply ingrained in the nation’s history.
