Former Congolese president,
Pascal Lissouba, is dead.
Lissouba died in Perpignan,
France today Monday. August 24.
A statement from his Pan-African
Union for Social Democracy (UADS) party said he died after a brief illness.
“President Lissouba passed away
after an illness,” the party's spokesman and MP Honore Sayi said
Late Lissouba was president of
the Republic of Congo also called Congo-Brazzaville, from 1992 to 1997. He fled
the country after being overthrown in a civil war by the current president,
Denis Sassou Nguesso, who had lost the country’s first multi-party elections in
1992.
Late Lissouba was 88 years old.
May his soul rest in peace, Amen
