Headline SWAPO Continues Struggle for Namibian Independence

Caption Description A detachment of South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) soldiers mounting a mortar attack against South African forces operating across the border in Namibia.

Namibia, a mineral-rich territory of 318,000 square miles and a million-and-a-half people, lies along Africa's South Atlantic coast, sharing borders with Angola, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia. Following World War I the former Imperial German colony (then called South West Africa) was administered by South Africa for the League of Nations. After the United Nations succeeded the League, it began a struggle, still underway, to effect South Africa's withdrawal from the territory which she has come to regard virtually as her own. Since 1960, the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) and its military arm, the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), have played the pre-eminent political, military and diplomatic role in Namibia's struggle for freedom and national independence. The United Nations General Assembly has recognized this by naming SWAPO the sole and authentic representative of the Namibian people. Thousands of Namibians have fled South African racism and repression to live under SWAPO's protection in Zambia and Angola or to fight South African forces from there and from the recovered areas of Namibia.
