Former President of the United States Jimmy Carter died on Sunday at the age of 100. America's longest-serving president died at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at age 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, the Carter Center reported. .
"Our founder, former US President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon on the Plains of Georgia," the center said in a post about his death on social media platform X. The statement said he died peacefully. , surrounded by his family.
After a term in the White House, the 39th President of the United States committed himself to causes ranging from health to global democracy and more.
When Jimmy Carter took the oath of office on January 20, 1977, he promised "good government, just like the American people."

"There can be no nobler and more ambitious task for America, in this day of a new beginning, than to help shape a just and peaceful world," he said.
A world he continued to contribute to beyond his single term in the White House, becoming a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. He is the founder of the Carter Center, a global non-profit organization whose mission is "to spread peace and hope and fight disease."
"I see the work of the Carter Center as a continuation of what I tried to do as president," he said in 2007.
Mr. Carter was born in Plains, Georgia in 1924. He graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1946, serving as a submarine officer before returning to Plains in 1953 to run the family farm after his father's death.
The former president entered politics during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. He served two terms as a Georgia legislator before becoming the state's governor in 1971.
"I tell you frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over," he said in a speech during his inauguration as governor of Georgia in 1971.
He went from an obscure southern governor in 1971 to the winning presidential candidate in 1976, narrowly defeating Republican Gerald Ford.
The mediation of the Camp David Accords in 1979 and the final peace treaty between Egypt and Israel was the highlight of his presidency.
"Over the past 25 years there have been four wars between the Arabs and the Israelis, with the Egyptians in the lead, supported by the Soviet Union. Egypt was the only country that could challenge Israel militarily," Mr. Carter said in a statement in 2009.
Zoti Carter negocioi edhe një traktat që i ktheu Panamasë kontrollin e Kanalit të Panamasë dhe vendosi lidhje të plota diplomatike me Republikën Popullore të Kinës.
Por, revolucioni islamik i vitit 1979 në Iran ndryshoi kursin e presidencës së tij.
Protestat e udhëhequra nga klerikët shiitë rrëzuan udhëheqësin iranian të mbështetur nga Shtetet e Bashkuara, i cili u largua nga vendi.
Më vonë militantët sulmuan ambasadën amerikane në Teheran, duke marrë peng 66 amerikanë. Në fund të nëntorit, 13 pengje u liruan.
Në prill të vitit 1980, ish-presidenti autorizoi një operacion ushtarak për të liruar pengjet tjera. Operacioni dështoi dhe tetë pjesëtarë të ushtrisë amerikane vdiqën.
Zoti Carter u përball edhe me sfida të brendshme. Inflacioni dhe shkalla e papunësisë dëmtuan ekonominë, çka ndikoi në humbjen e tij në zgjedhjet e vitit 1980 ndaj republikanit Ronald Reagan.
Më 20 janar të vitit 1981 – ditën e inaugurimit të Reaganit – Irani liroi gjithë pengjet amerikane.
Zoti Carter, i mposhtur dhe i dëshpëruar, u kthye në vendlindjen e tij për të planifikuar angazhimin e tij pas-presidencial.
"Po mendoja të bëja diçka të vogël, një zyrë pranë disa ndërtesave të bukura në Atlanta”, tha ai më 2007.
Rezultati ishte shumë më i madh.
Një organizatë jofitimprurëse e njohur botërisht, Qendra Carter ka monitoruar mbi 100 procese zgjedhore dhe ka ndërmjetësuar mosmarrëveshje duke filluar nga një bllokadë bërthamore me Korenë e Veriut më 1994 e deri tek një marrëveshje paqeje midis Ugandës dhe Sudanit.
Qendra angazhohet edhe për çështje shëndetësore duke luftuar sëmundjet në pjesët më të varfra të planetit. Çrrënjosja e sëmundjes parazitare ‘dracunculiasis’, e njohur si ‘Krimbi i Guinesë’, ishte qëllimi kryesor. Në vitin 2022 janë raportuar vetëm 13 raste në njerëz, numri më i ulët i të prekurve ndonjëherë me këtë sëmundje.
"Është vetëm një sëmundje në historinë e njerëzimit që është çrrënjosur. Ajo është lija, më shumë se tridhjetë vjet më parë. ‘Krimbi i Guinesë’ së shpejti do të jetë sëmundja e dytë në histori që do të fshihet nga faqja e dheut”, tha ai më 2009.
Angazhimi i zotit Carter për të ndihmuar njerëzimin e çoi atë në Oslo të Norvegjisë më 2002, ku pranoi Çmimin Nobel për Paqe.
“Çmimin Nobel për Paqe e fitova për shkak të punës së Qendrës Carter. Pra, do të isha plotësisht i kënaqur nëse trashëgimia ime do të jetë e bazuar mbi paqen dhe të drejtat e njeriut. Kush nuk e do këtë gjë?”, u shpreh zoti Carter më 2007.
Zoti Carter i mbijetoi kancerit të trurit më 2015 dhe kishte një jetë aktive deri në vitet e 90-a.
Por problemet shëndetësore dhe pandemia e koronavirusit më 2020 e mbylli atë në qytetin e tij të lindjes, ku kaloi vitet e fundit të jetës.
Në një nga paraqitjet e tij të fundit televizive, zoti Carter ndau me Zërin e Amerikës shpresat e tij për të ardhmen.
"I would like to see the United States in the future as a world champion for peace, human rights and environmental quality, and I would say treating everyone as equal. If we can do that, we would have a real superpower in the country, which I love very much," he said in 2019./VOA
