H.E. Barack Obama,
President of the United States of America,
Washington D.C.,
U.S.A.
Your Excellency,
I am deeply saddened by the news of attack at the Consulate
of the United States of America in Benghazi that caused the deaths of Mr. Chris
Stevens, the Ambassador of the United States of America to Libya and three
other American officials.
On behalf of the Government and People of the United
Republic of Tanzania, and on my behalf, I wish to convey our most heartfelt
condolences to You, and through you to the Government and the People of the
United States of America for the great loss.
The killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other
American officials who were working at the Consulate has touched many people
around the World. He will be remembered for his tireless efforts and commitment
in pursuit of international peace and security especially for his work in
Libya.
My Government condemns the attack against the American
Diplomats as well as actions against religious beliefs. Our Government will do
whatever it takes to make sure that what happened in Libya and the Middle East
does not happen in Tanzania.
At this moment of agony and distress, we share your pain and
pray to the Almighty God to give the families and relatives of the deceased
strength and fortitude to bear this moment of grieving. We wish a quick
recovery to the ones injured during the attack.
May the soul of the departed rest in eternal Peace”.
ISSUED BY: MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL
COOPERATION, DAR ES SALAAM.
