Here, in Namibia, Ahtisaari will be fondly remembered for the profound impact on Namibia\u2019s journey to independence and peace, President Hage Geingob said in a hearty statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajor parts in the history of Namibia would be incomplete without the name of former president Ahtisaari. As a Fin, former president Ahtisaari understood fully our quest for freedom and justice,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Ahtisaari\u2019s connection with Namibia dates to the 70s when he was appointed as a senator to the Council of the United Nations Institute for Namibia (UNIN).<\/p>\n<p>His roles expanded, and in 1978, United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim appointed him as the special representative of the secretary general for Namibia.<\/p>\n<p>As a diplomat, negotiator, peacekeeper and blue helmet, \u201cAhtisaari served the Namibian people, who were seeking self-determination and justice, with flying colours. As an icon in the imagination of the Namibian people, Ahtisaari was inscribed as an honorary citizen of the Republic of Namibia, with streets and schools having been named after him in remembrance and celebration of his exceptional deeds in the birth of a free Namibia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Geingob continued: \u201cWe are not only mourning the loss of former president Ahtisaari, a friend and one of them, but we are also reaffirming the rich legacy of peace and the outstanding international public service of a Nobel Peace laureate with an indelible association with Namibia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Charles Josob, Namibia\u2019s ambassador to Finland and the Baltic States, said in Ahtisaari, Namibia lost a friend indeed. \u201cWe are happy that he lived for 86 years to be a guide in our independence and before independence. We mourn together with his wife and son. He will forever be remembered for being a peacemaker and good friend to Namibia,\u201d ambassador Josob said.<\/p>\n<p>Rally for Democracy and Progress leader Mike Kavekotora also added his condolences. He remembers crossing paths with the late Ahtisaari. \u201cAhtisaari will never be forgotten. He navigated the difficult areas that South Africa was trying to create for Namibia,\u201d Kavekotora said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, businessman Leake Hangala, a geology and mineralogy graduate from the University of Helsinki, Finland, added his sentiments. \u201cWe are grateful for his work, and he was one of the international leaders who placed Namibia on a high profile. Ahtisaari contributed to the development of this country, and strengthened the relationship of Namibia and Finland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Analysts Political analyst Natjirikasorua Tjirera described Ahtisaari as one of the few accomplished statesmen. \u201cA man of principle, who seamlessly managed to be a diplomat of note; a politician of principle and a man of integrity. Being a Nobel Peace laureate epitomises his commitment to a just society. He will always hold a special place in the hearts of<\/p>\n<p>Namibians, as he ably navigated the diplomacy that led to our independence. I can only wish his brilliant soul eternal repose,\u201d Tjirera stated. Another political analyst, Ndumba Kamwanyah, said Ahtisaari\u2019s name is symbiotically tied to Namibia\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was under his leadership that we were able to have the first-ever free and fair democratic elections that led to Namibia\u2019s independence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kamwanyah added: \u201cThere were a lot of challenges in the war that broke out on 1 April [1989] between the Swapo guerillas [People\u2019s Liberation Army of Namibia]<\/p>\n<p>and South African forces. That event itself almost derailed the peace process, but because of his leadership, he saved the mission to have the election take place \u2013 eventually for Swapo to win the<\/p>\n<p>elections\u201d. Ahtisaari was a mediator, who brokered peace around the globe, winning a Nobel Peace Prize for a formidable career, spanning over 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>He battled Alzheimer\u2019s disease, which forced him to retire from public life in September 2021. The former UN diplomat was credited with overseeing the 2005 talks between the Indonesian government and Free<\/p>\n<p>Aceh Movement (GAM) rebels, which brought an end to a three-decade conflict in which some 15 000 people were killed. His true passion remained foreign affairs, and Ahtisaari later likened his six-year diversion into domestic politics to \u00aban extramarital affair\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>In 2000, Ahtisaari got involved in the Northern Ireland peace process, inspecting the IRA\u2019s arms dumps with current South African president Cyril Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n<p>He was appointed as UN special envoy for talks on the status of Kosovo in 2005 and recommended independence for the breakaway province \u2013 only to be repeatedly accused of bias by the Serbs.<\/p>\n<p>His inability to persuade the two sides to agree before Kosovo unilaterally declared independence rankled with him. In 2008, aged 71, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts \u201con several continents and over more than three decades to resolve international conflicts\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: neweralive<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pricilla Mukokobi Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
