The chaos of the presidency of Zambia that even death never ends

Personal becomes political in Zambia.

Mourning and building up to a funeral is not an easy time, but throw in the falls from a long-lasting creation between two main countries Edgar Ludgar – and you have a mix of mix.

The hostility is that Luu’s family said one of his dying wishes was that Hichilema should not go anywhere near his body.

The array has government plans to honor the former head of the state, creating a distressing country and left the people who wondered how to get it wrong.

Sunday should see the State Funeral Funeral for 68-year-olds in charge of six years from 2015. But no visitation of dignitaries and a large heart conference center in the capital, Lusaka – lie empty.

There was an indicator of possible problem ahead after Langu’s death on 5 June, at The video message shared by his daughter on facebook.

Weared in a thick, black jacket and shut the tears, Tasilila said his father was killed in a South African hospital where he was treated with “dignity and privacy”.

He refused a minute notice that says “this moment of sadness, we asked the spirit of ‘a Zambia, a nation guided by President Lau’s service

To highlight the need for unity at a time when tradition suggests that the country should naturally come together is an explanation of bad.

And another issue: Where is the president’s announcement?

Ms Luuu’s statement confirmed social media rumors in his father’s death, sent messages of mansion, including the president of Kenya, but no word from Hichilema.

While independent outlets report the news, the National Broadcaster, ZNBC, remain silent.

Then, three hours after daughter’s post, The head of the Zambian state shares his thoughts in a text post on Facebook. He made his own appeal for unity, asked people to “help the values ​​of peace, dignity and association that explained us as Zambia”.

The Minister of Information Cornelius Mweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetwa about concerns about delay in delaying talking about death. He told the BBC based on the written it is not the head of the state’s paper first to announce the disposal of a previous one.

However, Luu supporters felt that the Hichilema message of “association” hollow.

Hichileema finally becomes president of sixth attempt after luu with polls in 2021. These are their third electoral match-up.

The key to understanding is more than 100 days that Hicilema, Opposition leader, spent in the detention of 2017, waiting for the settlement of Treason Cargees.

He was accused of endangered life – President Luhu after his Motorcade said refusing to give a head to the state’s head.

Charges are just dropped after the Commonwealth Secretary General intervention.

After the year, BBC that he was held alone in the first eight days of embarrassment and conditions that could not be disabled “without water, without water, without a toilet”. He commanded the personal way of his imprisonment.

It is only one of 17 occasions Hichileema arrested. The supporters of his United Party for National Development are also harassed by supporters of the Governing Patriotic Front (PF).

2021 elections can take a line under things.

Luu, which is rejected by a margin of about a million votes of an electoral fed with allegations of corruption and concerns about evident anti-democratic behavior.

But as frustration with the Hichilema presidency is growing because of continuous economic difficulties, Langu knows one time and announced October 2023 that he returned to politics in October.

Shortly after this announcement, Luuu was stuck in his retirement benefits and state privileges while he returned to active politics.

This decision was covered by the former president and his family.

Luuu also complained to police harassment. At one time last year he said he was “almost arrest at home”.

In 2023, police warned him against the public jogging, which describes his weekly exercise as “political activity”.

“I can’t move from my house without being opened and challenged by the police and drove me home,” Luu told BBC on May 2024.

In that interviewHe also said he was forbidden to attend a conference abroad and from traveling abroad for medical treatment.

Information ministers denoted a travel trip and described the idea that his event was restricted to Zambia as a fiction and a fiction and a fiction and a fiction and a fiction of political accent

Mweetwa added that despite Hichelema’s treatment when he was opposed, he was determined not to do the same in the lungu.

There are also accusations that the anti-corruption crusade targets close to former PF handling, including Langu’s family.

His widow, continually investigated, carried by court and lost assets. Some of his children, including Tava, faced similar treatment – they all deny evil.

Pagkahuman sa katapusan sa miaging tuig gipadid-an siya sa Korte sa Konstitusyon gikan sa pagdagan pag-usab alang sa Presidente pag-usab, nagmando nga giserbisyuhan na niya ang labing taas nga duha nga mga termino nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa balaod nga gitugotan sa law allowed by law allowed by law.

The old head of the state is upset about how he feels he has treated.

“There is no love between two men and (Luu) that the view is: ‘I don’t want people to pretend I’m committed to real, no’,” said the family lawyer Zulhi.

Eventually Luu took South Africa in January, but Mr Zulu said his doctors told him, after a first-time check-up series, treatment had a more opportunity to be successful.

It does not reveal what he has suffered.

This, in part, in the light of this Luu says he “does not want the present President to attend his funeral”.

The government rejects the idea that Luuu stopped looking at his doctors in South Africa.

After his death, the family wants to conduct funeral arrangements, but Zambian authorities seek to be controlled.

Despite the bad feeling, in the last week as a compromise achieved and planned plans for a state funeral.

But relationships once have been broken by the family saying that the government changes the agreement after releasing a program that shows the more hichileema’s roots than planned.

In a message on ThursdayThe President thanked the Zambians for their “Severity, Patience, Unity and Calm at this time” but after doing a point to do a clear decision “.

With that, the funeral arrangements in Zambia were worn and the national stage of mourning suddenly shortened.

Burial now is set to occur in South Africa and as may not be that Hichilema will attend.

The Zambians hopes for Hichilema and bury their differences, but this death and events followed, the people denied the closure and restoring they wanted to see between the two.

Those differences also refused many millions of Zambians the opportunity to mourn and pay their last part of a person who previously ruled them.
