With reference to the article "Nelson Mandela: Some personal reminiscences" by Khaled Almaeena (Dec. 8), thanks for sharing your experience and the time you spent with the legendary icon of freedom and the best human being ever known.

He should be an example to leaders fighting to remain in power. Abu Sabri, Online response
