Gaddafi consoles children of Fathia

The Libyan Leader, Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi has sent a message of condolence to the children of the late Madam Fathia Nkrumah, wife of the late President Kwame Nkrumah.

"We received the news of the demise of your mother, Madam Fathia Nkrumah, with much grief and sorrow,” he said in the message released in Accra on Wednesday by the Libyan Ambassador in Ghana, Mr. Mohamed Gamudi.

"While extending to you our most sincere condolence, we pray to Almighty Allah to grant you patience and fortitude and to rest her soul in His spacious grace and make paradise her final abode," the message said.

Madam Fathia died in a Cairo hospital last week after suffering a stroke a few months earlier.
