The European Union Delegation to Namibia and the Embassies of the European Union Member States in Windhoek: Finland, France, Germany, Portugal and Spain extend their deepest condolences to the family of President Nujoma, the people of Namibia, and all those mourning the passing of The Founding President of the Republic of Namibia and Founding Father of the Nation, His Excellency Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma.

President Nujoma dedicated his life to the liberation and independence of Namibia, leading his people through the most challenging periods of struggle with unwavering determination. His extraordinary leadership and vision were instrumental in shaping a free and sovereign Namibia, guiding the nation
towards unity, democracy, progress, and self-determination.

As the first President of an independent Namibia, President Nujoma worked tirelessly to lay the foundations of a democratic and prosperous nation. His commitment to fostering peace, development, and international cooperation strengthened Namibia’s place in the world and deepened its ties with the European Union and its Member States. His enduring legacy will continue to inspire generations.

During this period of national mourning, we stand in solidarity with the government and people of Namibia as they honor the life and contributions of their revered leader. May his legacy endure, and may his soul rest in eternal peace.
