Independence Day Namibia
Until World War I, Namibia was a German colony under the name “German South West Africa”. In 1919 it was declared a mandate territory of the South African Nations. After World War II, although the mandate was not renewed by the United Nations, Namibia remained illegitimately the “Fifth Province” of the South African Republic. A long and bloody independence struggle followed, which, at the same time, was a combat against the apartheid (segregation) systems introduced by South Africa. Finally, in 1990 Sam Nujoma was sworn is as the first President of Namibia, and Namibia was able to set out in its path as a newly independent, democratic state.
