The late President Hage G. Geingob was an established politician of international stature.

This was evident during his memorial and funeral ceremony, where close to 20 heads of state and a large number of international delegations from across the globe attended. 

The late Geingob believed in international coordination and multilateralism, and he was hailed by the United Nations for that. 

As a mark of respect for the late Namibian leader Hage Geingob, various countries around the world have directed that national flags be hoisted at half-mast.

In the SADC region, Botswana, on Sunday, as part of their mourning for the late Namibian leader, directed that flags countrywide be hoisted at half-mast until the late Dr. Geingob is buried.

In East Africa, Kenya's President William Ruto issued an executive order that all flags fly at half mast starting Monday as a sign of respect.
