Reactions from world leaders and dignitaries have poured in following the death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu on Sunday at age 90.
Here are some reactions to the death Sunday of Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former Archbishop of Cape Town Desmond Tutu:
"Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a mentor, a friend, and a moral compass for me and so many others. A universal spirit, Archbishop Tutu was grounded in the struggle for liberation and justice in his own country, but also concerned with injustice everywhere. He never lost his impish sense of humor and willingness to find humanity in his adversaries, and Michelle and I will miss him dearly." -- Former U.S. President Barack Obama.

"The death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu (always known as Arch) is news that we receive with profound sadness -- but also with profound gratitude as we reflect upon his life. ... Arch's love transformed the lives of politicians and priests, township dwellers and world leaders. The world is different because of this man." -- Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
