"Namibia Mourns: President Geingob Laid to Rest Amid Global Support"

Namibia held a state funeral for late President Hage Geingob, who was interred at Heroes' Acre amid a surge in patriotism following his death from cancer at the age of 82. His widow wept as his casket was lowered into his grave, and his funeral marked the culmination of three weeks of mourning, with thousands of people from across the political divide coming together to mourn. Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier called for an apology for Germany's colonial atrocities in Namibia, acknowledging the genocide of more than 70,000 Herero and Nama people between 1904 and 1908.
