Black Pimpernel indeed. He defied the killer drones..
May his soul rest in peace.

"I then truly realized that I was in a country ruled by Africans. For the first time in my life, I was a free man. Though I was a fugitive and wanted in my own land, I felt the burden of oppression lifting from my shoulders. Everywhere I went in Tanganyika my skin color was automatically accepted rather than instantly reviled. I was being judged for the first time not by the color of my skin but by the measure of my mind and character. Although I was often homesick during my travels, I nevertheless felt as though I were truly home for the first time. We arrived in Dar es Salaam the next day and I met with Julius Nyerere, the newly independent country's first president. We talked at his house, which was not at all grand, and I recall that he drove himself in a simple car, a little Austin. This impressed me, for it suggested that he was a man of the people. Class, Nyerere always insisted, was alien to Africa; socialism indigenous" - Nelson Mandela<http://archive.org/stream/LongWalkToFreedom/PBI3231_djvu.txt>'s Long Walk to Freedom<http://archive.org/stream/LongWalkToFreedom/PBI3231_djvu.txt>
