Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday unveiled a statue of South
African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in the West Bank city of
Ramallah.

The unveiling ceremony was attended by Palestinian government ministers,
foreign diplomats, and Palestinian citizens.

The six-meter bronze statue arrived from Johannesburg last Thursday
(21/4/2016).

The statue was made with the consent of the Nelson Mandela Foundation,
funded by the municipality of Johannesburg, and given as a gift from South
Africa to the people of Palestine.

Ramallah Mayor Musa Hadeed said: "The Palestinian people continue Mandela's
struggle against racism," he added.
