ナミビアのハーゲ・ガインゴブ大統領が日曜日、ウィントフックの病院でガンの治療を受け、82歳で死去した。 Namibian President Hage Geingob passed away on Sunday at the age of 82, after being treated for cancer at a hospital in Windhoek. 大統領を2期務めたガインゴブ氏は、ナミビアの人口の半分以上を占めるオバンボ族以外の民族出身の初のナミビア大統領となった。 Geingob, who served two terms as president, was the first president of Namibia from an ethnic group other than the Ovambo, which makes up over half of the country's population. ガインゴブ氏は大統領就任前は反アパルトヘイト活動家で、独立後は初代首相を務めた。 Prior to his presidency, Geingob was an anti-apartheid activist and served as the country's first Prime Minister after independence.
