It is with great regret I received the news of the
demise of His Excellency, Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere.

Tanzania has lost its founding father, a great leader

uniting force and source of inspiration and stability
in Tanzania. Mwalimu Nyerere's advice was sought
through decades also in regional and international
affairs. His demise is a personal loss for me.
