Extractions: "Today was HOT! My experiment with my learners on roof insulation was cancelled again. I had my class outside with all their cardboard houses and asked a group what the beginning temperature was. One of the learners said '41°C Miss.' I had to make sure they read the thermometer correctly. I ended up checking all of them. I couldn't believe that it was really 111°F! I told the class to quickly go back into the classroom. There was no way I'd make them stay outside in that heat. We don't have water again. There's trouble somewhere with the pipe bringing water to the location and the students have to walk to town for water." Notes to readers: Namibia is in the Southern Hemisphere and winter and summer seasons are reversed from the Northern Hemisphere. Although it is too cold for mosquitoes during Uis winters, I still sleep in my Mosquito net, hoping that I can keep out other unwanted pests like the 2-inch cockroaches. =)

The settlements reflect the Bush administration's commitment to protecting the environment, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Christie Whitman told reporters at today's press conference. Ebola, Hunting Put Apes On Path to Extinction NEW YORK, New York, , April 8, 2003 (ENS) - Illegal hunting and the Ebola virus are decimating gorilla and chimpanzee populations in remote areas of Western Equatorial Africa, according to a new study from the Wildlife Conservation Society based at New York's Bronx Zoo. Many conservationists had believed that ape populations in these densely forested, remote regions in Gabon and the Republic of Congo were relatively stable.

Extractions: AfricaUpdate is the quarterly newsletter of the Central Connecticut State University Africa Studies Program After about three hundred and fifty years of Dutch-Afrikaner and British domination, under the guise of various white supremacist ideologies, Black South Africans were able to vote - between April 26th and 28th this year. The Afrikaner Resistance Group, a right-wing neo-Nazi organisation planted over 17 bombs within the voting period, killing at least 21 persons, but that did not stop the elections. Nor were they prevented by Buthelezi of the Inkatha movement. In the wake of the global pro-democracy movement and persistent armed resistance, de Klerk and his cronies had little choice but to come to a negotiated settlement and put to rest the nefarious policy of apartheid. South Africa has only entered a new phase in the liberation struggle. Decolonisation and true independence do not come easily. Here in the United States we know that voting rights do not guarantee the end of racism and elections do not automatically eliminate centuries of discrimination and white supremacy. In fact, racism and discrimination are still alive and well here in the United States. Mandela and his new government will no doubt have to introduce the principle of Affirmative Action, at least in the short term, and consider issues related to the redistribution of land holdings and so on in order to redress the balance and level the playing field and, by so doing, transform democratic voting processes into egalitarian realities. The struggle continues and this is only a phase in the liberation struggle for justice, human rights and human dignity, a struggle which continues here in the United States as well.

Report on how the regional conflict has negatively impacted the media's access to government information.
http://www.cpj.org/attacks99/africa99/Namibia.html

Extractions: In January, Prime Minister Hage Geingob admitted in a letter to the independent daily Namibian that the Ministry of Defense was deliberately withholding information from all domestic media concerning Namibia's involvement in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The prime minister claimed that the Namibian press had published "distortions" about the conflict in the DRC and that news published in the Namibian also appeared on the Internet and was therefore accessible to DRC rebel forces. In March, Nathaniel Maxuilili, a member of Parliament from the ruling South West African People's Organization (SWAPO), threatened to ban a popular Oshiwambo-language talk show for airing what he called "nonsense" about the country's involvement in the DRC. "If I ask the government to stop [the talk show], it will," said Maxuilili at a Defense Ministry press briefing (reported in the Namibian ), At the same press conference, Maxuilili also reprimanded journalist John Grobler for asking "silly questions" about the role of Namibian troops in the DRC conflict.

Extractions: OFFSHORE NAMIBIA Thermal history reconstruction based on AFTA and VR data. Non-exclusive study Namibia's offshore area overlies a series of Mesozoic and Tertiary sedimentary basins that are virtually unexplored by drilling. To date only seven exploration wells have been drilled, the first discovering substantial gas reserves at the Kudu field now undergoing development. The area holds considerable exploration potential and all open acreage will be offered for licensing in the 3rd Licensing Round, which opens on 1st October 1998. The recognition of marine oil-prone source rocks in the Cretaceous gives the area significant oil potential. Their maturation and hydrocarbon generation histories are however a critical exploration risk factor. The distribution of maturity will depend critically on the relative affects of paleothermal episodes, due for example to deeper burial prior to uplift and erosion, heat flow variation or the effects fluid movement. Recognition of such episodes and measurement of both their timing and affects in terms of maturity development are therefore a vital part of prospectivity assessment. This study will, for the first time, provide reliable data on these important aspects of the evaluation of offshore Namibia . Aims and objectives The project aims to investigate these problems by direct assessment of the timing and magnitude of paleo-thermal effects in wells from the offshore region. Rather than relying on theoretical models, use of AFTA and VR data will allow direct measurement of the paleo-thermal episodes responsible for maturity development and hydrocarbon generation.

Extractions: Peace prevailed in 1995 in the countries covered by the regional delegation in Harare. Relative stability in South Africa had a positive influence on the social and political climate in neighbouring countries. By the end of the year all six States had become party to the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. The regional delegation concentrated its efforts on dissemination activities and on strengthening emergency preparedness and response programmes with the National Societies. It completed its detention-related activities in Malawi. From 23 to 27January, the ICRC was invited to participate in a workshop in Harare on the subject of peace-keeping, organized by Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom and sponsored by the UN and the OAU. The workshop was attended by representatives from 17 African countries and gave the ICRC the opportunity to underline its role as a neutral and impartial humanitarian institution. In cooperation with the OAU, on 2 and 3 March the ICRC held a two-day international seminar on anti-personnel landmines and the 1980 UN Weapons Convention in Harare, which was attended by over 60 people, including government representatives from 13 southern African and Portuguese-speaking West African countries, national and international NGOs and representatives from National Red Cross Societies. It was one of three regional seminars organized by the ICRC to foster awareness in Africa of the problem of landmines and their devastating effects. The seminar also dealt with the problem of blinding laser weapons.

Extractions: In 1994 a number of positive changes came to southern Africa, affecting practically all the countries covered by the regional delegation. Democratic elections in Mozambique and South Africa were complemented by those in Malawi, where a new government was voted in, putting an end to 30 years of autocratic rule. The 1.5 million Mozambican refugees in the region had almost all returned home by the end of 1994, lifting a major burden from Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. In Namibia and Botswana the governments in place were returned in general elections. Only in Lesotho did the situation deteriorate, but the crisis was settled by the end of the year. The principal activities of the regional delegation in 1994 included the continuation of detention-related activities in Malawi; the promotion of international humanitarian law, particularly in Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia and Zambia; coordinating and supporting tracing work carried out by National Red Cross Societies; and helping to strengthen the capacity of National Societies in regard to emergency preparedness, information, dissemination and the development of their internal telecommunications systems.

The Treaty entered into force in September 30, 1993. In October 1993, Speakers, Deputy Speakers, Parliamentarians and representatives of the member states of SADC met in a first Consultative meeting in Windhoek, Namibia. The meeting looked beyond the SADC Treaty and sought to achieve a comprehensive regional unity through legislative deliberation undertaken by one common body, a SADC Regional Parliament. Emerging from the meeting was a resolution to establish the SADC Parliamentary Forum. This resolution has been referred to as the Windhoek Initiative. This initiative was an earnest recognition that for development to occur, there is need for serious discourse, genuine will, and commitment. By creating a regional instrument for permanent dialogue across SADC at the Parliamentary level, the Initiative breathed new life into the SADC at a time when debates on regional cooperation and integration had come to the forefront of national agendas. For the first time SADC was brought closer to the people from what it had been - an executive bureaucracy. The Second Consultative Meeting took place between 5 - 9 May in 1995. This meeting concretized the proposals and agreements of the Windhoek Initiative. A plan was developed for a programme to be implemented by the proposed SADC Parliamentary Forum (PF). The programme was in the form of a project proposal on "strengthening the effort to internalize the principles and values of democracy within the region". It aimed at building and solidifying a sense of common identity among the peoples of the region. Also, the meeting revised and adopted the draft Constitution for SADC PF.

Extractions: Relations between Namibia and Botswana became strained, however, at the end of October because of a dispute over three small islands in the Caprivi Strip. Several hundred Namibian nationals subsequently fled to Botswana to escape a Namibian military operation being carried out in the Caprivi Strip against the bases of a secessionist movement. Although a number of the refugees had applied for political asylum in Botswana, some of them were temporarily imprisoned for entering the country illegally and for the unlawful possession of weapons. Once released, they rejoined the other Namibian refugees in a camp under the care of the Botswana Red Cross, UNHCR and the Lutheran church. At the end of November the ICRC, together with the Namibia Red Cross, carried out a survey in the Caprivi Strip and noted that although calm had been restored the population movements continued. The ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo also had direct repercussions on this part of southern Africa, with Namibia and Zimbabwe dispatching troops and military equipment to the country. The ICRC sent a memor-andum to the governments of these two States, reminding them of their obligation to comply with the Geneva Conventions.

Annual Report Annual Report Harare, regional delegation (Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe) The countries covered by the Harare regional delegation enjoyed a period of relative political and social stability in 1997, although tensions surfaced at the end of the year in Zambia and Zimbabwe and living conditions remained difficult for many people in the region. In addition, the effects of the AIDS epidemic were very strongly felt in this part of southern Africa. This year again, the ICRC concentrated on cooperation with the region's National Societies. By means of financial and material support, training courses and practical advice, the organization helped most of these Societies to become autonomous in their work aimed at restoring and maintaining family links. In most of the region's countries, in cooperation with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, it also organized first-aid courses for volunteers and emergency-preparedness seminars for the senior staff of the National Societies. Moreover, the regional delegation helped the Societies to improve their media profile in their respective countries and facilitated contact between them.

http://www.vancoenergy.com/exploration/namibia.htm

Extractions: Block Flyer (5.3MB) Vanco's License Area 1711 was Namibia's first permit awarded in the frontier Namibe Basin. Straddling northern Namibia and southern Angola, the Namibe Basin has no well history, but contains interesting features that suggest the area has significant oil and gas potential. Of particular interest is a huge structural feature named the Kunene Prospect. As early as 1998, Vanco studied existing 2D seismic and regional histories. This initial interest in the Kunene Prospect led Vanco to pursue a Petroleum Agreement, approved and signed in June 2000 by Vanco (operator, 88%), Namcor, the state oil company (9%), and Pamue Investment Corporation (3%). Five weeks later, Vanco began a 685-square-kilometer 3D survey focused on the Kunene Prospect. Completed in September 2000, the 3D survey has been the basis of twelve months of further exploration, complimented by 3,200 kilometers of existing 2D seismic. Well history from Norsk-Hydro's 1911-5-1 well 250 kilometers to the south provided age control for Vanco's assessment, and confirms a regional carbonate story for License Area 1711, suggesting that the area should be oil prone. Vanco's study of the Kunene Prospect shows that the structure is a drowned carbonate buildup formed in Aptian-Albian time, post-dating Barremian volcaniclastics to the west. This drowned buildup now lies 2,000 meters below the ocean floor, sealed by a thick Tertiary shale sequence, in about 900 meters water depth. The structure forms a classic four-way dip structure closure covering 95 square kilometers, with over 675 meters of closure. Analogs to this prospect include several giant oil and gas accumulations of which Malampaya (Philippines), Tenghiz (Kazakhstan) and the Golden Lane (Mexico) all share characteristics with the Kunene Prospect.
