Statement by the President on the Passing of Levy Mwanawasa

Contact: White House, Office of the Press Secretary, 202-456-2580

CRAWFORD, Texas, Aug. 19 /Standard Newswire/ -- The following text is a statement by President Bush:  

Laura and I are saddened to hear of the passing of Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa.  President Mwanawasa was a champion of democracy in his own country and throughout Africa.  As President of Zambia, President Mwanawasa launched a sweeping anti-corruption campaign and dedicated himself to improving the welfare of all Zambians.  As Chairman of the Southern African Development Community, President Mwanawasa worked tirelessly to uphold the values of good governance, speaking out against human rights abuses and threats to democracy when many others were silent. 

On behalf of the United States, we extend our sincere condolences to President Mwanawasa's wife, his family, and all Zambians during this difficult time.
