900 Acta Apostolicae Sedis - Commentarium Officiale<br />

jours de Pontificat qui, quoique très bref, aura cependant marqué l'hu­<br />

manité pour une nouvelle prise de conscience en vue de l'édification d'un<br />

monde de justice de paix et d'amour. En Notre nom personnel, en celui<br />

du Peuple et du Gouvernement voltaïque, nous vous adressons nos con­<br />

doléances les plus attristées. Que Votre Eminence veuille bien être no­<br />

tre interprète auprès de toute la chrétienté, particulièrement auprès du<br />

Saint Siège et de la famille du Saint Père disparu, pour leur trans­<br />

mettre respectivement l'expression bien sincère de nos sentiments de<br />

grande affliction et de profonde compassion.<br />

E ZAMBIA :<br />

<strong>El</strong> Hadj Aboubakar Sangoulé Lamizana<br />

Président de la République de Haute-Volta<br />

I have been greatly shocked to learn of the untimely death of Pope<br />

John Paul. 32 days in ofiice was not long enough for him to establish<br />

his own personality. But he did in that short period show what power-<br />

ful forces for progress were within him. We in Zambia noted with<br />

gratitude his choice of the name John Paul, his humanity which made<br />

him decide in favour of one of the humblest enthronement célébrations,<br />

and above ali he had already begun to impress the world with the<br />

cardinal message of love as sign of yet another great Pope. Alas this<br />

was not to be. However we pray that the Vatican and indeed the<br />

Catholic Church as a whole will receive God's guidance and mercy so<br />

that it remains solid in spite of losing two Holy Fathers within two<br />

months. On behalf of the party and its Government and the people of<br />

Zambia as a whole, and indeed on my own behalf and that of my family,<br />

*<br />

I send to you our heartfelt condolences. We pray that his soul rests<br />

in peace.<br />

Kenneth D. Kaunda<br />

President of the Republic of Zambia<br />
