CAIRO, Feb 10 (MENA) - President Abdel Fattah El Sisi sent a cable of condolences Monday to Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba over the death of late Namibian President Sam Nujoma, the first and founding president of Namibia.

Nujama passed away after years of struggle for his homeland and the African continent.

President Sisi stressed that the late Namibian president left prominent marks in the history of the continent and its struggle for freedom, independence and prosperity for its people.

According to Egyptian Presidential Spokesman Mohamed el-Shenawy, President Sisi pointed out that ties between the two countries are considered an exemplary model of solidarity between countries in the continent.

The president said that Egyptian-Namibian ties attest to Egypt’s firm commitment to supporting its brothers throughout the continent, out of a strong belief in common history and future, the spokesman said.

Sisi wished the family of the late Namibian president and brotherly Namibian people patience and solace, he added. (MENA)
