My first thought was... finally.
My second thought was that he died, probably peacefully in his bed, which was a luxury that he did not afford the tens of thousands of women, men and children who died because of him.
CNN's Christiane @amanpour reflects on the death of Ratko Mladić, responsible for the massacre of thousands during the Bosnian War.

Let’s all participate in these important processes. – at Nairobi, Kenya

They are all immaculately dressed in bright colours and fabrics and they are smiling radiant smiles.

Visceral leishmaniasis is not like the diseases that garner international attention. Its threat is local; it won’t spread around the globe. But that doesn’t matter for the teams in Ethiopia working to curtail the spread of the world’s deadliest parasite. bit.ly/46Hn4K9

The exclusion of women in Africa’s political leadership screams loudly in this picture. Yet, the one woman in the group, HE Samia Suluhu Hassan, (probably also the smallest in height), is standing in the back row.
With due respect, our leaders don’t get it. @_AfricanUnion – at Nong Prue, Thailand
