Foreign fighters still active in Syria are deeply entangled in the violence. All #ForeignInterference must end now. Syria’s #TerritorialIntegrity must be respected. What the country needs is stability—not outside powers using it as a battleground for their own agendas. (7/10)

‘Zambezi remains part of Namibia’ The government has warned the United Democratic Party (UDP) that renewed secession efforts in the Zambezi region would have legal consequences and would not succeed. The party’s attempts to destabilise peace and stability in the Zambezi region is punishable by law, it says. These sentiments follow yet another demonstration by UDP members last week demanding that the government vacate the Zambezi region (formerly known as the Caprivi Strip) to allow them to start their own government with Mishake Muyongo as their president. Executive director of information and communication technology Audrin Mathe on Sunday told The Namibian the government’s position on the territorial integrity of the country has not changed and won’t ever. He said the Zambezi region remains an integral part of the country’s sovereign territory. “The UDP’s demands for military withdrawal, prisoner releases, and the implementation of spurious historical agreements lack both legal foundation and constitutional validity. “Hence any attempt to destabilise the peace and stability that has been carefully maintained in the Zambezi region or any other part of our country will be met with the full force of the law,” he said. Mathe said if it is the banned UDP’s attempt to undermine the current government’s resolve with the resurrection of the self-determination and territorial separation demands, it has failed. “It is the same secessionist rhetoric that has been consistently rejected by the government and people of Namibia since the failed armed rebellion of August 1999,” he said. Mathe said the government remains committed to providing jobs and essential services to the people of Namibia, including the citizens of the Zambezi region. He reiterated that the government continues to make significant investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic development in the region. “We do not wake up each morning to ventilate old grievances or to relitigate settled questions about our nation’s territorial boundaries, but rather to advance the practical work of nation-building and development that benefits all Namibians,” he said. Over the past 26 years, UDP and Caprivi Concerned Group (CCG) members have staged numerous demonstrations for a dialogue with the government, as well as sought the interventions of international communities to intervene in the Caprivi Strip dispute. In a petition last week, the UDP said it no longer wants a dialogue but instead called on president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to command the Namibian Defence Force (NDF) to vacate the Caprivian territory as soon as possible. The party also demanded the unconditional release of all “Caprivi” political prisoners in Namibia and the immediate return of “Caprivian” exiles. Furthermore, the UDP demands the immediate withdrawal of all “Swapo Gestapo security apparatus, as well as the immediate handover of the Caprivi Strip to the representatives of the people of Caprivi (UDP)”. They accused the government of torture, murder, detaining and intimidating them, and alleged the existence of mass graves of “Caprivians” who were executed and buried secretly by the Namibian government, as well as the disappearance of corpses from the mortuary. Furthermore, the UDP claimed the repatriation of “Caprivians” in 2018 and 2019 was done under duress, as they were threatened and forcefully repatriated by the Botswana government in exchange for a dry port harbour and other islands of the “Caprivi Strip”. The post ‘Zambezi remains part of Namibia’ appeared first on The Namibian.

Namibian sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the United Democratic Party’s quest for the independence of Caprivi Lazarus Kwedhi The United Democratic Party’s (UDP) push for the so-called independence of Caprivi, hereafter referred to as the Zambezi Region—separating it from Namibia—is not a democratic right under Namibia’s constitutional democracy. It is, in fact, an act of treason against the Namibian state.  The Namibian Defence Force has a constitutional duty to protect the country’s territorial integrity, and it must do so without hesitation against the UDP’s secessionist attempts to divide Namibia. If not, it is a bad precedent to seek to destabilise national peace and has the potential to compromise the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The independence we enjoy today came at a great cost. It was won through the blood, sacrifice, and determination of our sons and daughters who fought against colonial and apartheid oppression.  That freedom is not to be taken lightly. Every Namibian has a moral and constitutional duty to defend not only our hard-won independence but also our national sovereignty and territorial integrity against threats from both external and internal forces. Namibia’s boundaries are clearly defined in Article 1 of the Namibian Constitution and are recognised by the international community, including the United Nations. The Zambezi Region is part of that constitutional territory. While it is healthy to debate national issues and policy matters, anything that threatens Namibia’s sovereignty is non-negotiable.  Any individual or group seeking to remove even a single inch of land from Namibia’s internationally recognised borders is committing an act of treason. Such actions must be met firmly by the Namibian defence and security forces, judiciary, and by the Namibian people themselves. The idea that the Zambezi Region is not part of Namibia is not new. In August 1999, the Caprivi Liberation Movement (CLM) attempted to secede through armed conflict.  The Namibian Defence Force responded decisively, restoring peace and affirming Namibia’s territorial integrity. While CLM leader Mishake Muyongo fled to Denmark and others to Botswana, many were arrested and charged with treason, charges that stand to this day. This article is not an attempt to silence the democratic rights of UDP members as protected by Article 17 of the Constitution. Rather, it is to clarify that no democratic right includes the right to undermine Namibia’s sovereignty or its borders. The call for Zambezi Region’s “Caprivi’s” independence is not grounded in genuine democratic principle, it is politically motivated, driven by failed ambitions and personal grievances.  It is being used by some Zambezi Region’s political leaders, including those with ethnic or tribal motivations, as a means of economic and political relevance. We must consider the historical context of Namibia’s boundaries. Namibia’s current territorial definition was agreed upon by the Constituent Assembly, where leaders from all regions, including Caprivi were present.  Mishake Muyongo and Andrew Matjila, both from Caprivi, were part of that assembly under the DTA (now PDM). Muyongo even served as a member of Parliament and DTA president, coming second to Sam Nujoma in the 1994 presidential election with 23% of the vote. That same Muyongo and his followers are now leading a movement calling for the Zambezi Region’s separation from Namibia. But the Zambezi Region is and remains part of Namibia forever. Any attempt violent or peaceful to separate it is unconstitutional and amounts to treason, punishable under Namibian law. Article 17 does grant all Namibians equal political rights, regardless of ethnicity. However, those rights are meant to strengthen and protect Namibia’s sovereignty, not undermine it. Losing a political contest or holding personal grudges does not justify rebellion. It does not give anyone the right to claim that their region is no longer part of Namibia. Muyongo contested to become a Namibian president, and what if he had won the 1994 elections and Sam Nujoma had then declared that Ovambo land was not part of Namibia, or if Festus Garoëb had demanded independence for Khorixas, would we be having this debate? The secessionist demands by the UDP and its supporters are not only legally and constitutionally indefensible, they expose the bitter, selfish, and opportunistic nature of those promoting them. Anyone who supports or spreads such views poses a direct threat to Namibia’s territorial integrity and must be treated accordingly.
