1 answer

Namibia gained independence from South Africa on March 21, 1990. This followed years of struggle against South African colonial rule and apartheid policies. Independence was achieved through diplomatic efforts and armed resistance by the Namibian people, led by the liberation movement SWAPO. The end of apartheid in South Africa and international pressure also played a key role in the process. Since gaining independence, Namibia has made significant progress in areas such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure development.
