Namibia released his revolutionary head

As the “father of the nation” and the release of the release of the Namibia, Sam Nujoma experienced more than one expectation.

Her warm and wide smile and made it easily friendly and accessible.

Whether Windhoek’s independence of an avenue is a pracksuit, his driver hangs from the official motorcycles, which aimed to be a man of people.

Now, four decades, after a bitter war in Namibia Guerrilla, against a racist apartheid in South Africa and against independence, Nujoma died 95.

He died on Saturday after three weeks in the hospital, as a result of the President Nangolo Mbumba announced in a statementby adding death with the country “shake” country.

The namibian national identity shaped gaps leaves gaps for a few.

Namibia, earlier the decades called South West Africa, captured decades and suffered colonial colonial colonialities. They went to the country around the 19th century in the hands of Europeans.

Starting in 1904, the German settlers dubbed thousands of Namibians killed in the world “Forgotten Genocide”. The German officers used black African as a guinea pig for the horrible crimes, then the Nazis replicated in Holocaust.

Namibia was under German occupation until 1884 to 1915, when Germany lost colony in World War II.

Namibia then fell under the authority of white South Africa, which spread his racist law to the country, denying any black Namibian political rights, as well as limiting social and economic freedoms.

Apartheid legislation led to the war of the Guerrilla war in 1966.

Through this stage, Nujoma took part in the fight against white minority rule.

Etunda Iparralde’s children ‘sons’ confession had a modest home in life with less than primary education education.

Married with Kovambo Theopoldina Katjimune, he had four children and worked on a railway, he made a deep passionate politician and was free from the inemistence of colonialism and undeniable.

Inspiration entered the stories of the chief resistance of Namibia, such as Hendrik Witbooi, who fought against the Germans in the 1880s.

1959. For the year, Nujoma became the head of the towns of Owamboland, the pioneer of Swapo was the movement of the independence.

A year later, at the age of 30, Nujoma was forced to exile. Without passport, he used his cunning to take different people and bend his path to trains and planes – Finish Zambia and Tanzanian before going to West Africa.

With the help of the Black Namibians office sponsors, Nujoma flied New York and asked Namibia to help him provide his independence.

Nujoma “terrorist Marxista”, South African bosses fought with the movement against apartheids, putting a wonderful challenge to oppressive regimes from various countries in southern Africa.

With the help of Cuban troops who were fighting in Angola, Swapo Guerrillas were able to attack South African bases in Namibia.

Returning from exile, the Nujoma South African authorities quickly reorganized and deported six years later.

“I knew that military protection and political mobilizations would be lowered from South Africa,” nujoma narrated others in his autobiography, which published in 2001.

Swapo took the forces from exile, before returning to the country in 1989, South Africa agreed to independence of Namibia a year before.

South Africa was insulated internationally and increasing the cost of military intervention. Namibia eventually gained independence in 1990 after 25 years of war.

In the first democratic Namibian elections in 1990, Swapo achieved a large majority and became the first president of the country Nujoma.

Nujoma was especially worried about children’s status, presenting non-parent absent maintenance payments.

He also encouraged women’s progress when his husband died, the widows left home to help change traditional patriability practices.

Development efforts were desire to maintain stability to protect international lenders.

Nujoma was re-selected in 1994 and in 1999 – when he criticized the change in the Constitution, to be a third term in the office.

When he criticized his own government style or questioned about his party’s political past, a wide smile could become sour. Forgetting a pointingly pointing, doubts or criticizes, sometimes he would lose his face and lose insults.

He opened the same-sex relationships, but it never went to the Constitution or the law to go illegal.

Nujoma always rated his close friend with Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe, but the President of Namibia was mostly cleaned against those who did not agree with him.

However, through the Swapo machinery, it would be quite happy to extract the line of the ordinary man to extract the party line and deepen the parties to deepen government boxes to ensure continuous rule.

Instead of making decisions by Nujoma’s Cabinets through joint discussion, it was such a way.

As the President of 2005, after President Swap, 2007, after 47 years, he gave his successor to his successor, HiFiKepunye Pohamba.

After leaving the office, Nujoma still had great power at the party and behind the government.

While in the office they are undeniable achievements, many Namibians to achieve a smooth transition to the democratic rules of the country.

Since independence, Namibia has been one of the success of Africa’s success stories, with regular ordinary and democratic elections.

And, despite the humiliation and injustice caused by white colonizers, Nujoma confirmed the constitution of the country, regardless of the fundamental rights of all Namibians, regardless of any race or color.

The policy of national reconciliation encouraged the country to remain white community and still work in agriculture and other economic sectors.

The Nujoma’s ability to combine a three-million-person nation – 10 ethnic and linguistic communities – he won many admirers.

In order to recognize its supreme achievement, Namibian Parliament gave him the official “created father of Namibia” in 2005. The many international honors received the Lenin Peace Award, the Indira Gandhi Peace Award and the Ho Chi Minh Peace Award.

In his last years, Nujoma disappeared, he prefers to spend time with his many families.

Its easy charm and disappearance of conviction. Father is not a family, but a whole nation.
