Geography of Namibia
Some 130 million years ago a super continent known as Gondwana tore asunder and left the southern continents we know today as relics. Namibia once locked in the very heart of Gondwana, now lay on the western littoral of Africa. When the fireworks from the throes of continental separation subsided, large volcanoes survived as mountains, like the Brandberg and Spitzkop. From that time and before Namibia has ghost rivers left behind when the ice age glaciers crawled across the land, it has the tracks of dinosaurs embedded in sandstone where they once walked and the coast which originated simultaneously with the Atlantic ocean when primordial forces changed the face of the planet. and Caprivi . Almost half the size of Lebanon, the Etosha Pan is big enough to be classified as a saline desert. Granite mountains stand isolated like steep islands on the plains of the inner Namib, one of them - the Brandberg massif - the highest in Namibia at a height of 2579m. The only perennial rivers are on Namibia's borders. In the north are the Kunene, Kavango, Zambezi and Kwando Rivers. On the southern border is the Orange River. None of the perennial rivers originate in Namibia. Rivers within the country - even the longest, the 600km Fish - are all ephemeral. They flow only after strong rains in their catchments, not necessarily along their entire lengths and not for long. The bigger ones retain water in pools for some months after a flood, but the rest are dry with white sandy bottoms for most of the year

    Population of Namibia
    About 1.8 million people share the vast spaces of Namibia, the country has one of the lowest population densities in the world with 1.5 people per square kilometre. It is thought that only about a quarter of the population of Namibian live in urban areas, although this figure is certainly increasing as growing numbers of unemployed people leave their villages and farms.

    THE LAND
    Geography
    N
    amibia is in south western Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean in the west, Botswana and Zimbabwe in the east, South Africa in the south and Angola and Zambia in the north. The country's surface area is 842,269 sq. km. Climate
    The climate is arid, semi-arid and subtropical. The hottest months are between January and February with average temperatures soaring to between 20 to 36 degrees Celsius. Average winter temperatures in June and July range between 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. People and History
    Namibia is one of Africa's three most sparsely populated countries, with an average population density of 1.7 people per sq. km. The total population is 1.74 million (1999). About 27 percent of the population lives in urban areas. English is the official language. Afrikaans, Oshiwambo, German, Herero, Nama/Damara, Lozi, Kwangali and Tswana are the national languages.
    Namibia was under German rule from 1884 until 1915 when South African expeditionary forces defeated the colonial forces. In 1920 South Africa was granted a C class mandate by the League of Nations to administer Namibia. Obligations to promote the welfare of the indigenous people were generally ignored and a legislative assembly for whites was established in 1925.
    In 1945, the newly formed United Nations (UN) declared South West Africa, as the territory was then called, a trust territory with the right of self-determination. South Africa's refusal to negotiate a trusteeship with the UN resulted in a progressively intensified international campaign to secure Namibian independence in line with UN resolutions. Finally, on 21 March 1990, Namibia became independent.

    Namibia 's Odd Geography
    THE finger of land in north-eastern Namibia called the Caprivi strip must be the silliest contrivance of the doodlers who drew the modern map of Africa. The strip pokes Namibia 450 kilometres (280 miles) into the heart of Africa . The Germans, who ruled Namibia, then known as South West Africa, from the late 19th century until 1915, wanted access to the Zambezi, which they thought (wrongly) to be navigable as far as the Indian Ocean. Obligingly, the other European powers carving up Africa gave Germany the corridor it wanted. The lines cut through the Lozi kingdom . Ironically, territory played little part in the complex system of allegiances by which the Lozi kings ruled the upper Zambezi valley for centuries. As in many other African kingdoms, the system was based on people, not land : Lozis were loyal to their king wherever they happened to live. Now split between Angola, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia, the Lozis get a bad deal in all four countries and their desire for unity has grown. The reasons for the current flight into Botswana go back to Namibia's war against South African occupation. Some of the Lozis supported the Namibian nationalist movement, SWAPO; others were against it. The divisions continued after independence in 1990. The Namibian government made no concessions to Lozi separateness and gave the area little development aid: a UN report recently described Caprivi as Namibia's poorest region. A Caprivi Liberation Movement was formed with the ambition of linking up with fellow Lozis in Zambia; the government has been trying to crush it.

    Geography and Economy of Namibia
    The Namibian divide into 86% black, 6.6% white people, and 7.4% half-castes. More than half of them are Ovambo, 9% are Kavango, 7% Herero, 7% Damara, 5% Nama, 4% Caprivianer, 3% San (bus men), and 2% Baster. 80 to 90% are Christians, half of them Protestants; the rest believes in natural deities. Only 7% are speaking the official language English; the white people speak Afrikaans (60%) or German (32%); the black people speak their native languages: Oshivambo, Herero, and Nama.
    Since march, the 21st 1990 (independence form South Afrika) Namibia has been a republic with president Sam Nujoma as head of state. The president and the parliament are elected for five years (next election in 1999). Important parties are: SWAPO, DTA, UDF, MAG, and DCN. Namibia is member of UN, UNESCO, WHO, Interpol, and the 100th country of the Commonwealth.
    The economy is mainly based on the export of mineral resources (25% of GNP) Unearthed are diamonds (jewellery quality), uranium, lead, zinc, tin, silver, and bismuth. About 50% of the inhabitants live from agriculture (beef cattle, karakul coats), which isn't very productive (Namibia depends on food imports). Other branches of industry are the canneries and the fishing industry. In the last years tourism became a significant sector of the Namibian economy. Important trading partners are Germany, South Afrika, Swiss, Great Britain, U.S.A., and Japan.
    For an African country Namibia is equipped with a very high developed traffic system: 54.186 km roads (4.056 km of them are paved) and 2.382 km railways. Another important mean of transportation is the air plane.
