President Nangolo Mbumba says Namibia stands in solidarity with all those around the world still fighting for freedom, justice, and dignity, stressing that, as the country commemorates its own massacre at Cassinga on May 4, 1978, citizens remember the power of unity expressed in the face of oppression.
In a touching display of solidarity and cultural support, the Aukoredi visited the former First Lady Monica Geingos to offer their condolences and provide her with traditional Damara attire for mourning.
The gesture was aimed at honouring the local customs and traditions.
Vice President Nangolo Mbumba has also called on the international community, particularly members of the G77 plus China bloc, to stand in solidarity against western powers that enforce unfair and unilateral sanctions against developing countries.
