FATE and fate killed one
of the remaining remaining Swapo giants in the forest, Dr. Theo-Ben Gurirab, of which
was a life of loyalty, distinction and service to his comrades, party and
Namibia until the end.
The lanky man of Okombahe and
Usakos, Dr. Theo-Ben Gurirab, takes leave of an independent Namibia, one of the
last paradises of freedom and peace left intact by a world at war with
himself, and in some countries, leaders at war with their own people.
Often affectionately referred to as
"Ben Usakos", he was one of the "four formidable young revolutionaries of the 1960s
", Nujoma / Geingob / Hamutenya and Gurirab, lobbying in
Theo- Ben Gurirab was adopted from Swapo by
the world as a super diplomat for his ability and understanding of diplomatic art
.
It will rest in the shadow of
Heroes' Acre as one of the unique heroes of the liberation struggle, independence and reconciliation, the elements of unbreakable base of the growing Namibian nation
.
Pride makes difficult the admission of the ANC
to South Africa, but Namibian independence greatly helped
in the subsequent democratization of Africa's South neighbor and the eventual dismantling
of apartheid. Usakos, the dusty city of the West, from
whose kidneys were seen to forever produce the respectable
and venerated hangman of Swapo's diplomatic offensive for independence and
leading the implementation of Namibian foreign policy. to be a friend for all
and an enemy of no one.
A life of compassionate service
and excellence for his family, his people and the world is his legacy, but also the success of Namibia and the challenge of future generations.
He was the dean of African ministers
and served international diplomacy with the utmost distinction and
dedication for 35 years without scandal. He worked with three generations of
world leaders witnessing the dramatic evolution of the world order, including the
fall of the Iron Curtain. Dr. Gurirab served five secretaries-general of
United Nations. His coronation was to be elected President of the United Nations General Assembly
. The son of Usakos not only became the first citizen of the world
but in a world divided more and more, he remained attached to Namibia and party politics
remained a beacon of reason and a political voice that evokes and commands respect in the region
and the African continent.
The achievements of the deceased Gurirab soul
are too numerous to list. It is enough to register his inheritance to
Namibians. It has left a most remarkable legacy, an even bigger future that will survive for many generations to come.
With the troika Geingob / Hamutenya / Gurirab
under the leadership of Nujoma, Namibia has a credible foreign policy, a stable and stable ministry
of international relations under one of Gurirab's students
and also diplomatic and reserved, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah,
Vice President of the Swapo Party.
The Namibian Non-Alignment Policy
in an uncertain and ever-changing world is anchored in the stormy seas.
As Theo-Ben Gurirab, sharpened in the halls of international politics
for many years before and after 19459008, independence is undoubtedly the most important legacy of the intrepid young quartet
Nujoma / Gurirab / Geingob and Hamutenya, the 20-year-old revolutionaries
of the past, all of whom became internationally admired statesmen of the new millennium
.
Due to the camaraderie and service
the strength of Namibia's international lobby far exceeds its economic strength and population
.
The Namibian International Pedigree
uniquely qualifies the nation to lead the crusade for reform of the United Nations Security Council
internationally beaten to include two states
of Africa. Namibians will not be wrong or arrogant to expect that they
will occupy one of the seats regardless of the size of the population or the economy, but
won their adhesion to the ideals of the UN. The Namibian political landscape
will not escape change with one of the largest trees lost in the forest of excellence
.
The famous and legendary troika of
the late Hidipo Hamutenya, Theo-Ben Gurirab and the president Hage Geingob who, under
the leadership of the founding president, Dr. Sam Nujoma, led the two strands
attack on the battlefields of the forests of southern Africa of Angola and
Namibia are smaller, but the rest of the Nujoma / Geingob duo with close
Hifikepunye Pohamba will link the Swapo ties even stronger in the loss of a
comrade and servant.
Large trees in
giant forests may be few in number, but surviving giants will strengthen their bonds and
will remain relentless on the path of unity toward the orderly transition of power
to the secondary ladder. of leadership trained and tested in the wait.
People find their consolation and
force in tragedy and the great task of maintaining the constitutional course of
political stability, visible peace and just social relations will fall on the
soldiers of Geingob Pillars / Nujoma.
There is no doubt that the disappearance of Theo-Ben Gurirab will remind the young his advice and imitate his example of temperate language negotiations that will bring them closer to their goals
. misguided language of demand by insult.
A nation in mourning is almost
still a nation inspired to cut the weeds of corruption, poverty, land reform, homelessness and unemployment from the forests of greatness in paradise of peace and of Namibian Stability
.
Only the greatest of great men,
as Ben "Usakos" leaves a future that can not be survived and like the famous railways
of his hometown, they leave traces that disappear
hope and success that is somewhere out there and will be achieved.
Dr. Theo-Ben Gurirab, an international statesman
and Namibian icon from the hamlet of Usakos, left
as a prophet honored by both his own and his family. leaders of cities
of the world. a great servant and a great leader.
The spirit of Theo-Ben, a great man
but an even bigger Namibian, will remain, touch and guide many
generations to come.
