Sam Nujoma, the guerrilla leader who became Namibia's first president after it won independence from South Africa in 1990, died aged 95 on Saturday, the Namibian presidency said in a post on Facebook.

How wrong can we be? The death occurred recently of Dr Ali Akbar, a well-known and admired personality in my village of Haydarabad. His passing shook the community like an earthquake.
Dr. Ali Akbar – or “Ali” as he was known to most – was liked and admired by all for many reasons, but there’s much more to this compassionate gentleman than most know.
Ali Akbar was a truly remarkable young man from his teens and an inspiration to all in our village. He led an exemplary life, providing for his mother and four siblings when his father left them...
