 The president of Zambia, Edgar Lungu, fainted on Sunday during the country's televised official annual ceremony for the National Defense Forces Day. That event was immediately interrupted following the incident. And the 64-year-old head of state, who is running for re-election in August, suffers from the rare disease achillacea. The condition affects the esophagus and causes hypoglychemic attacks. An official statement by the president said Lungu has since recovered and continues to perform his duties.
