Sam Nujoma, first president of Namibia, dies aged 95 | BBC News


The first president of independent Namibia, Sam Nujoma, has died at the age of 95, the country’s current leader has announced.

Nujoma led the long fight for independence from South Africa in 1990 after helping found Namibia’s liberation movement known as the South West Peoples’ Organisation (Swapo) in the 1960s.

After independence, Nujoma became president in 1990 and led the country until 2005.

Nujoma had been hospitalised over the past three weeks with an illness from which he "could not recover", Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba said.
