History
The South African Union has since treated South West Africa as an integral part of its national territory and in 1945 refused to administer this territory in trust for the UN. She also carried out apartheid politics in South West Africa and drafted a program (1964) to bring together the non-white ethnic groups in homelands, as in South Africa. Domestically, the resistance to this policy was organized by v. a. in the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO). The inclusion of South West Africa in apartheid legislation led to the conflict between the Republic of South Africa and the UN. After the International Court of Justice in The Hague in 1966 rejected a lawsuit by Ethiopia and Liberia against the Republic of South Africa for breach of mandate obligations for formal reasons, the UN General Assembly withdrew the Republic of South Africa’s mandate over South West Africa in 1966. She took direct responsibility and named the country »Namibia«; the name of the state is derived from the Namib desert. In 1971 the International Court of Justice declared the presence of the Republic of South Africa in Namibia to be illegal under international law.
Under the impression of the release of the Portuguese African holdings to independence (1975), the South African government modified its Namibia policy by promising Namibia independence and dismantling apartheid laws (including the abolition of passport requirements and homelands). At the gym conference In 1977 she had a constitutional plan drawn up that provided for the formation of a Namibian government made up of eleven representatives from all ethnic groups. The Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) emerged victorious from the 1978 elections. The SWAPO, recognized by the UN as the only legitimate representative of the people of Namibia, did not take part in the elections because it rejected the constitutional concept of the South African government and continued the armed struggle that it supported v. a. led by Cuban forces from Angola. After the failure of a Namibia conference in Geneva (1981), SWAPO continued the guerrilla war. In the 1980s, South African armed forces made highly controversial international attacks against SWAPO bases in Angola. With the coming into force of a ceasefire (August 1988) between representatives of the Republic of South Africa on the one hand and those of SWAPO and Cuba on the other, the independence process got under way again after it was linked with the withdrawal of South African troops from Namibia and the Cuban armed forces from Angola. On December 22, 1988, the Republic of South Africa, Angola and Cuba, with the participation of the USA and the Soviet Union, agreed internationally monitored free elections to a constituent assembly. These took place in November 1989; SWAPO was able to win 57% and DTA around 29% of the votes. After a constitution was passed in February 1990, Namibia became a member on March 21, 1990 S. Nujoma (SWAPO) independent as President. On March 1, 1994, the Walvis Bay area, which had previously belonged to the Republic of South Africa, became part of Namibia. In the elections in November 1994 and 1999, SWAPO won the two-thirds majority required to amend the constitution; President Nujoma was confirmed in office. In addition to troops from Angola and Zimbabwe, Namibian units have been supporting government troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the fight against insurgents since mid-1998. Since 1998 there have been repeated bloody clashes with the separatists in the Caprivi area. After Nujoma had not run in the 2004 presidential election, the previous Minister for Land Affairs H. L. Pohamba won (Appointed on March 21, 2005) from SWAPO, which was again able to achieve a two-thirds majority in the simultaneous parliamentary elections.
In 2007, with the signing of various agreements, economic relations with the People’s Republic of China were deepened. As expected, President H. L. Pohamba and the governing party SWAPO won the on 27./28. 11. 2009 presidential and parliamentary elections. Pohamba received 74.3% of the vote, SWAPO received 75.3% of the vote. At least 65 people died in severe floods in 2011 and around 60,000 had to flee their homes. In 2013, the country experienced the worst drought in 30 years. In the presidential election on November 28, 2014, the candidate of the governing party SWAPO, Prime Minister H. G. Geingob, clearly prevailed with 86.7% of the votes cast. Incumbent Pohamba had constitutionally no longer been able to run. In the parliamentary election that took place at the same time, SWAPO won around 80% of the vote. The strongest opposition party was the DTA with 4.8%. Geingob was sworn in as the new President on March 21, 2015.
