Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Archbishop Desmond Tutu has died at the age of 90, according to an announcement by South Africa’s president.⁠

⁠

An uncompromising foe of apartheid — South Africa’s brutal regime of oppression against the Black majority — Tutu worked tirelessly, though non-violently, for its downfall.⁠

⁠

"The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation’s farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa," said South African Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa.⁠
