With the passing of a leader who persevered beyond all measure, and finally triumphed to father a nation, a cluster of wishes:

- that humanity's inner compass would lead more towards unity and compassion than division and resentment,
- that a nation's foundations were so strong and its trajectory so well considered that even a mediocre leader would do.
