Cuban Foreign Minister Mourns Sam Nujoma


Namibia’s founding President, Sam Nujoma passed away on February 8, 2025, at the age of 95

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Namibia’s founding President, Sam Nujoma, who died on February 8, 2025, at the age of 95. In a heartfelt message, Rodríguez extended condolences to the Namibian people, emphasizing Nujoma’s vital role in the struggle for independence and his strong ties with Cuba. He described Nujoma as “one of the great African leaders” and a cherished ally of Cuba, acknowledging his contributions to the fight against apartheid.

Sam Nujoma played a pivotal role in Namibia’s liberation from South African rule, leading the nation to independence in 1990. Serving as Namibia’s first president for 15 years, he worked to establish democratic governance and foster national unity. His leadership was anchored in the principle of “One Namibia, One Nation,” advocating for reconciliation and development in the post-apartheid era.

Beyond Namibia, Nujoma was a respected figure in Africa’s broader liberation movements. He stood alongside leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Robert Mugabe in challenging colonial oppression and white-minority rule. His efforts gained international recognition, and he cultivated strong diplomatic relations with nations including Cuba, Russia, and China, which supported Namibia’s independence struggle.

In honor of Nujoma’s enduring legacy, the Namibian government has declared a period of national mourning. President Nangolo Mbumba praised him as an “extraordinary freedom fighter” who empowered Namibians to reclaim their sovereignty. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also paid tribute, highlighting Nujoma’s crucial role not only in Namibia’s liberation but also in the regional fight against apartheid.

Nujoma’s passing signifies the loss of a key figure in southern Africa’s liberation history. His unwavering dedication to freedom, justice, and equality will continue to inspire generations to come.
