Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>TANZANIA:<\/b> MESSAGES of condolences from leaders in Africa and around the world have been pouring in as Tanzania mourns the loss of its beloved former President, Ali Hassan Mwinyi.<\/p>\n

Fondly known as Mzee Rukhsa, Mwinyi, aged 98, succumbed to lung cancer, leaving behind a legacy of leadership, diplomacy and economic reform. Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Mr Ahmed Abiy, expressed his condolences, praising Mwinyi\u2019s contributions to Tanzania and the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, President Samia Suluhu, for the warm welcome to Tanzania during the nation\u2019s time of mourning,\u201d Abiy remarked during his state visit to Tanzania, emphasising the deep respect and admiration for Mwinyi shared by neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

Kenya\u2019s President, William Ruto, and former President Uhuru Kenyatta also paid homage to Mwinyi, acknowledging his pivotal role in shaping Tanzanian history.<\/p>\n

President Ruto hailed him as a \u2018great leader,\u2019 while Uhuru highlighted Mwinyi\u2019s significant impact on Tanzania\u2019s economy and regional diplomacy efforts. In his message, Uhuru said Mwinyi ardently pursued regional cooperation and reconciliation playing a key role in successfully mediating conflicts within the East African region.<\/p>\n

\u201cMwinyi is widely acknowledged as a prominent figure in Tanzanian history, renowned for his significant contributions to politics, economic development, and regional diplomacy. May the Almighty God grant strength to the family of the late President and bring solace to the people of Tanzania as they cope with this profound loss,\u201d Uhuru said.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom\u2019s High Commissioner to Tanzania, David Concar, echoed these sentiments, praising Mwinyi\u2019s economic reforms that paved the way for Tanzania\u2019s enduring prosperity.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis landmark reforms enabled an economic revival which continues to benefit Tanzania to this day,\u201d Concar remarked, underlining Mwinyi\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s Ambassador to Tanzania, Chen Mingjian, expressed heartfelt condolences, emphasising Mwinyi\u2019s efforts in strengthening Sino-Tanzanian relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will remember forever his contributions to deepening China-Tanzania allweather friendship,\u201d Mingjian stated, highlighting Mwinyi\u2019s significant impact on international diplomacy. Born on May 8, 1925, in the Coast Region of Mainland Tanzania to Hassan and Asha Sheikh Mwinyi, Ali Hassan Mwinyi rose to prominence as a statesman dedicated to advancing his nation\u2019s interests on the global stage.<\/p>\n

His tenure as Tanzania\u2019s second President was marked by a commitment to economic development, social progress and regional cooperation.<\/p>\n

As the Tanzanian nation bids farewell to Mzee Rukhsa, his memory will endure in the hearts of Tanzanians and the international community alike. Today, as he is laid to rest in Unguja, the world mourns the loss of a visionary leader whose contributions continue to shape the destiny of nations.<\/p>\n
