Namibia Mourns the Passing of President Hage Geingob

The nation unites in grief as it lays to rest its third president, Hage Geingob, amid a surge of patriotism and international condolences.

Namibian President Hage Geingob was laid to rest at Heroes' Acre cemetery following a state funeral attended by leaders from around the world.
Geingob, who died at 82 from cancer, was remembered as a nation-builder and a pan-African hero.
His death led to a surge in patriotism, with Namibians from across the political divide coming together to mourn.

Geingob played a central role in establishing Namibia as one of Africa’s most stable democracies after its independence.
