Left in the dark about their leader's illness, Zambians were angry more than shocked to learn this week that the country's fifth president, Michael Sata, fondly known as King Cobra, died in London on October 28. The government only recently acknowledged that the president was sick, waiting until October 20, four days before Zambia's 50th Independence Day, when Sata needed to be evacuated to Britain for emergency medical treatment.
Будучи в неведении о болезни своего лидера, жители Замбии скорее были раздосадованы, а не шокированы новостью этой недели, что их 50-ти летний президент Майкл Сата, более известный как «король-кобра», скончался 28 октября в Лондоне.
