Russia Sends Jailed Zambian Student To Fight In Ukraine; Student Killed At Battlefront

A 23-year-old Zambian student has been killed in Ukraine while fighting on the Russian side, a Zambian government official has said.

In a statement issued on Monday, Zambia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Stanley Kakubo said Lemekhani Nathan Nyirenda was studying nuclear engineering at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI).

Kakubo said in 2020, Nyirenda broke Russia’s laws and was subsequently convicted and sentenced to nine years at Tyer medium security facility on the outskirts of the Russian capital in April 2020. Reads the statement by Kakubo:

PRESS STATEMENT BY HON. STANLEY K. KAKUBO, M.P, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION, ON THE DEMISE OF A ZAMBIAN NATIONAL IN UKRAINE

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation regrets to inform the Nation of the untimely demise of Mr. Lemekhani Nathan Nyirenda, a 23-year-old Zambian Government sponsored student, who was pursuing Nuclear Engineering at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPHI) in the Russian Federation.

The Ministry is saddened to inform that, on 9th November, 2022, it was notified of the demise of Mr. Nyirenda, at the battlefront of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Through the Embassy of the Republic of Zambia in Moscow, the Ministry immediately proceeded to verify this information where it was established that Mr. Nyirenda indeed passed away on 22nd September 2022, in Ukraine.

The Embassy further established that Mr. Nyirenda’s remains have since been transported to the Russian border town of Rostov in readiness for repatriation to Zambia.

The Ministry wishes to further state that in April 2020, Mr. Nyirenda contravened the laws of the Russian Federation and as such, was subsequently convicted and sentenced to nine years and six months imprisonment.

He was serving his sentence at Tyer Medium Security Prison on the outskirts of Moscow.

In view of this very sad development, the Zambian Government has requested the Russian authorities to urgently provide information on the circumstances under which a Zambian citizen, serving a prison sentence in Moscow, could have been recruited to fight in Ukraine and subsequently lose his life.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation is deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Mr. Nyirenda under such circumstances and commiserates with the family on their loss.

As minister, I have been personally in touch, and will maintain contact, with the family of the deceased in order to provide an update on more details surrounding their loved one’s death, once official communication is received from the Russian authorities

The WAGNER private army is a group of mercenaries founded by a former Russian general .This is the very army which has been fighting and used in Central Africa Republic , Afghanistan , Syria and Ukraine war these soldiers for higher are paid a handsome package .They travel around the globe killing for a living.Two years ago they faced a brutal onslaught in Mozambique before the African forces intervention.I keep my fingers crossed not to come across these chimpanzees soldiers hired by dictators around the globe .This is why many African leaders leak the pup hole of Russian bloodmire Pup-tin sorry Putin.

That's what some foolish African governments voted for Putin to keep on waging war against Ukraine. So from the information (statistics) we have been getting about wa4 casualties, some of the deceased comrades are our own brothers being forced to participate in the war, regardless of them being not well versed in war tactics. The demise of our Zambian brother has shown how cruel is Putin. It has also shown how the likes of ED and some African presidents can to the detriment of our own countries and economies.

let the whole world say justice for Nyiranda 🇿🇲... pu💩tin should be charged for war crimes and murder of innocent people. yes the Zambian student was wrong on his crimes, but he didn't deserve to be placed on the battle front... Mr Hichelema should stand against what pu💩tin has done.
