Carter is on a two day visit to Bogota to assess the ongoing peace talks between Colombia's government and its largest leftist guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

Jimmy Carter, who went from peanut farmer to the 39th president of the United States has died.

He was 100.

Carter died at his home in Plains, Georgia, on Sunday, Fox News reported.

The Carter Center, the late president’s nonprofit organization, made an announcement on X. 

“Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” the post read.

The cause of death is not clear at this time.

His wife, Rosalyn Carter, died on Nov. 19, 2023. She was 96.

The former president himself went into hospice care in February 2023. He had a “small mass” removed from his liver in August 201. Later that August, it was announced he had liver cancer that had spread throughout his body. 

Carter his father, brother, and two sisters to pancreatic cancer. His mother had breast cancer, which later spread to her pancreas.

Jason Carter, Carter’s grandson, had announced in May that he thought Carter’s life was “coming to the end.”

Carter won election to the Georgia Senate in 1962. He ran for Georgia governor, but lost in 1966.

He did become governor in 1971.

Carter, a Democrat, won the presidential election in 1976. He defeated Gerald Ford, who became unpopular after he pardoned former President Richard Nixon.

During his time as president, Carter established diplomatic relations with China and led the negotiation of a nuclear limitation treaty with the Soviet Union. 

On the domestic front, he headed many conservation efforts.

According to Carter, his greatest personal accomplishments were the Panama Canal treaties and the Camp David accords that brought peace between Egypt and Israel.

“We focused on peace,” he remarked to The Washington Post in 2014. “We never shot a bullet or dropped a bomb on anyone.”

Carter was a one-term president, whose last months in office were marred by the Iran hostage crisis when 52 Americans were taken hostage after the Iranian revolution.

Iran released the hostages after 444 day. They were freed the day Carter left office.

Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. 

His post-presidency life included writing 28 books, becoming a distinguished professor at Emory University in Atlanta and founding The Carter Center.

The Carter Center focuses on national and international public policy. 

Carter told The Associated Press that he had the “best times” after establishing the organization in 1982.

“This beautiful place on Earth that has set moral and ethical standards that exemplify what a superpower like America ought to be,” Carter said in October.

He was also active in Havitat for Humanity.

Carter is survived by four children, 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Carter will be buried in Plains after services in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.

Many posted their condolences on X, formerly Twitter.

RIP Jimmy Carter

Admired him as a person since my childhood, was a great humanitarian.

Will be interesting to see President-Elect Trump gathered with President Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden at the funeral.

Jimmy Carter was a GOOD MAN! A MORAL MAN! He was not a good president, but if every leader would have had his faith and values, then the World would be fair and peaceful today. REMEMBER PRESIDENT CARTER!

Thank you President Jimmy Carter.

Your Camp David Peace Accords established peace in the Middle East.

It was my honour to participate in the MFO in Egypt in 1984.

RIP

Please join me in praying for the family of President Jimmy Carter, who passed away this afternoon.

Even more historic than his time in the White House was Carter’s post-presidency, which he dedicated to serving his fellow man. From providing housing for thousands of families…
