Country Overview Country Overview Country Overview Country Overview NAMIBIA Namibia is located in southern Africa, bordering the South Atlantic Ocean, between Angola and South Africa. Germany took control of the area that it called South West Africa in the late 1800s. South African troops ousted the Germans from the area during World War I, and the League of Nations mandated the area to South Africa. Following World War II, the United Nations requested that the territory become a trusteeship, but South Africa refused to cooperate. In 1966 a Namibian nationalist group, South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), launched a war of independence for the area that became Namibia, but it was not until 1988 that South Africa agreed to end its administration in accordance with a United Nations peace plan for the entire region. Namibia finally gained independence in 1990. Namibia is a sparsely populated, mostly desert country, and its economy is highly dependent on the minerals sector. The country has enjoyed macroeconomic stability since independence due to the implementation of market-oriented reforms. © Copyright 2013 CountryWatch, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
