https://www.apu.fi/artikkelit/ele-alenius-parempi-jos-neuvostoliittoa-ei-olisi-syntynytkaan Ele Alenius, 95-year old former Finnish second minister of the interior and only 60s Finnish minister alive isn't in bad condition. In this article he talks about his political career in the 60s and 70s and how, despite being a socialist, he was against the invasion of Czechoslovakia and managed to anger the soviet ambassador to finland with his anti-soviet comments. He's one of the four in my profile picture. Also talked about going to a nursing home because a friend he made during wwII is there. He was widowed ten years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Vestey,_3rd_Baron_Vestey Samuel Vestey, longtime master of the horse dead at 79. Would've been 80 next month.

Kazakh oligarch and mining magnate Alijan Ibragimov dead at 66. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alijan_Ibragimov He was part of a well known Kazakh oligarch group called the "trio" along with billionaires Alexander Mashkevich and Patokh Chodiev. These three men born in the early 1950s made their fortune through deals in minerals, oil, gas and banking.

Marcos

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Hamidu Former Chief of Defence Staff of Ghana, Joshua Hamidu dead at 84 or 85 apparently.

not a really useful answer to my question. Realized that this thread could also be used for the other war criminals of Cambodia...here's who's left: Khieu Samphan (90, 1931-) Prime Minister, by far the most notable Khmer Rouge member alive. Has active trials and can attend them, could go on for a while. Or not. Yim Tith (84, 1936-) Sector 13 secretary accused of premeditated genocide. Case probably dropped as his actions weren't as bad as those of Samphan or Muth. Meas Muth (83, 1938-) Commander in the navy, is or is going to be on trial. Genocide on Vietnam and crimes against humanity. Im Chaem (~78, 194x-) Alleged district secretary, could have dementia. Ao An died in 2020. There are a ton of witnesses, many also Khmer Rouge members including Chhouk: https://www.eccc.gov.kh/en/topic/886

Didn't realize Chhouk has a thread. Is he dead or still rotting in jail?

Here's an interview with his wife. Tony doesn't seem to be in such a bad shape, and seems to still be enjoying life.

Suu Kyi has had so many health problems during the years and looks frail as a skeleton. Could have her former "archenemy" Than Shwe on the list too, the diabetic 85 (or 87)-year old rumored to have cancer.

I'd say all three look bad for their age. Cameron's still a bit "baby faced", he'll live long.

Apparently Wunna Maung Lwi is the minister of foreign affairs again.

Croatian parliament member Miroslav Tudman died yesterday aged 74. He was the son of president Franjo Tudman (1922-1999) and Ankica Tudman (born 1926)

The coup is apparently lead by Commander of Armed Forces Min Aung Hlaing and first vice president Myint Swe. A "state of emergency" has been declared for the period of one year. They've promised an election but apparently Min Aung Hlaing wants to try what it's like to be a dictator before that. I doubt she will just bounce back after the Rohingya crisis.

I'll take Stewart Prestley Blake.

This means that there are four former prime ministers of Eswatini alive. Mabandla Dlamini (born 1930) 1979-1983 Paul Shabungu (born 1943) 2003, acting Themba Dlamini (born 1950) 2003-2008 Bheki Dlamini (born 1952?) 2008, acting

Former member of the Finnish parliament Jyrki Kasvi is in hospice care for multiple cancers. https://www.iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/a556782b-40da-4e92-82d4-55f27416a56c Known from his glasses and his interest in computers, 57-year old Kasvi, also known as "Wexteen the Wizard" has been fighting cancer(s) for 18 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyrki_Kasvi He says that he'll most likely die at the start of summer.

Chinese corrupted businessman Lai Xiaomin controversially executed: https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20210129-china-executes-ex-banker-lai-xiaomin-in-corruption-bigamy-case Was the chairman of the board of China Huarong Asset Management. Was married to two women, apparently had around a hundred mistresses and accepted around 277 million dollars in bribes.

I decided to check how many recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom are alive from before the younger Bush's tenure. It has been awarded since 1963. Not mentioned are large groups of people.

Awarded during Bush's tenure. Ruth Johnson Colvin, b. 1916. Awarded during Bush's tenure.

Good riddance: Abu Yasser al-Issawi, ISIS deputy caliph and Iraq ISIS leader has died in a military strike by Iraqi security forces. al-Issawi was the man behind the Baghdad twin suicide bombings that happened a week ago and resulted in 32 deaths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Yasser_al-Issawi

Voted for Kaunda.

Time is running. Martino, Davies and Gulpilil are still alive, there's a chance we'll see a "second round". If you haven't participated with your six names I recommend doing it.
