Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of the Ismaili branch of Shia Islam, whose inherited title carries a claim to being a direct descendent of the Prophet Mohammed, has died in Lisbon, Portugal at the age of 88, his spokesperson has confirmed.
We offer our condolences to the world’s Ismaili Muslims on the death of the Aga Khan. He was not only a great leader for his people, but a true friend and an equestrian who loved and understood horses deeply. Above all, he stood as one of the world’s greatest philanthropists, whose life’s work was dedicated to relieving the hopelessness of poverty and promoting human development, building bridges between communities and working tirelessly in the cause of peace.
The Aga Khan devoted his life to peace and prosperity for all. He worked across continents and cultures to resolve the world’s greatest humanitarian challenges: poverty, education, and gender inequality.
He was an extraordinary man of vision, faith, and generosity, and I know his legacy will live on through the many lives he touched.
Following the news of his passing, my family and I send our condolences to His Highness’ family, his many friends, and to all Ismaili Muslims in Canada and around the world who are mourning this loss.
I am deeply saddened by the news that His Highness Prince Karim Al-Hussaini, Aga Khan IV, has passed away. He was a symbol of peace, tolerance and compassion in our troubled world.
I express my deepest condolences to His Highness’s family and the Ismaili community.
A herd of elephants in China was spotted taking a nap after walking 300 miles off their reserve.
Police blocked roads to stop them reaching cities. Experts say the elephants may have been displaced by humans destroying their forest habitat and "got lost."
