Extractions: Designed by: Hosted by: NAMIBIA - V5 ICAO CODE: NMB 186 CALLSIGN:Namibair WEBSITE: Air Namibia began in 1947 as South West Air Transport flying DC-3 transports between Swakopmuk and Windhoek. The airline took the name Suidwes Lugdiens in 1959 after taking over Oryx Aviation. In 1969 the airline took over Namibair Pty Ltd. During the 1970s the airline widened it services domestically and in 1978 it changed its name to Namib Air. It became the national flag-carrier after the nation's independence in 1987. International (trans-continental) services began in 1990 with a Boeing 747-SP service to Frankfurt. By 1993 the airline was renamed Air Namibia and had started flights from Windhoek to London Heathrow via Jo'berg. Regional feeder services were started in the late 1980s with Beechcraft 1900C commuter airliners. By 1991 these regional flights were helped with the introduction of a Boeing 737-200 jet. In 1996 a Dash Eight turboprop was purchased. DESTINATIONS: Windhoek, Capetown, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Keetmanshoop, Lilongwe, London, Luderitz, Luanda, Lusaka, Maun, Swakopmund, Tsumeb, Victoria Falls, Walvis Bay.

Extractions: The coastal regions of Namibia were explored by the Dutch and Portuguese in the 15th century, by the English in the 18th century and by German missionaries in the 1840s. In 1884, the German government claimed the settlement at Luderitz as the center of a protectorate which extended over the whole of what is Namibia, then known as South West Africa. A major uprising in 1908 by two of the indigenous tribes, the Nama and Herero, was put down by the Germans at the cost of 100,000 lives. During World War I, the territory was occupied by the South Africans, who were granted a League of Nations mandate to administer the territory after the end of the war. The history of Namibia from the foundation of the United Nations in 1945 to independence in 1991 was dominated by the repeated refusal of the South African government to convert their League of Nations mandate to administer the country into a UN trusteeship, or indeed to recognize that the UN, or any other organization, had a legitimate interest in the region.

In a series of talks mediated by the United States, the three parties agreed to link Namibian independence from South African rule to a staged withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola. Both processes were to begin in 1989. Cuban troops were to move north of the fifteenth parallel, away from the Namibian border, by August 1, 1989. All Cuban troops were to be withdrawn from Angolan territory by July 1, 1991 (see Appendix B The December 1988 regional accords did not attempt to resolve the ongoing conflict between Angolan forces and UNITA. Rather, it addressed the 1978 UN Security Council Resolution 435, which called for South African withdrawal and free elections in Namibia and prohibited further South African incursions into Angola. The United States promised continued support for UNITA until a negotiated truce and power-sharing arrangement were accomplished. The December 1988 regional accords created a joint commission of representatives from Angola, Cuba, South Africa, the United States, and the Soviet Union to resolve conflicts that threatened to disrupt its implementation. However, immediate responsibility for the accord lay primarily with the UN, which still required an enabling resolution by the Security Council, a funding resolution by the General Assembly, and a concrete logistical plan for member states to establish and maintain a Namibian peacekeeping force as part of the UN Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) called for by Resolution 435.
Extractions: Sources: The Library of Congress Country Studies; CIA World Factbook Back to South Africa National Security The international fear of nuclear proliferation made South Africa the focus of intense concern during the 1980s. Although Pretoria initially would not confirm it was developing, or possessed, nuclear weapons, it had large natural deposits of uranium, as well as uranium enrichment facilities and the necessary technological infrastructure. In addition, until the late 1980s South Africa had the deeply entrenched fear of its adversaries and the insecurity about its borders that were important incentives in other nations' nuclear programs. After 1981 South Africa was able to produce annually about fifty kilograms of highly enriched uranium, enough to make two or three twenty-kiloton nuclear bombs each year. With the cooperation of Israelanother technologically advanced, militarily powerful, nuclear-capable nation surrounded by hostile neighborsSouth Africa developed at least six nuclear warheads, which it later acknowledged, along with a variety of missiles and other conventional weapons. In 1987 President Botha announced that South Africa was considering signing the 1968 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and would begin discussions with other countries toward that end. In September 1990, Pretoria agreed to sign the NPT, but only "in the context of an equal commitment by other states in the Southern African region." After intensive diplomatic efforts, especially by the United States and the Soviet Union, Tanzania and Zambia agreed to sign the treaty. South Africa signed the NPT in July 1991, and an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards agreement in September of that year. In addition, the government banned any further development, manufacture, marketing, import, or export of nuclear weapons or explosives, as required by the NPT. The IAEA declared it had completed its inspection in late 1994 and that South Africa's nuclear weapons facilities had been dismantled.
Non Exclusive Regional Thermal History Reconstructions Previous thermal history studies carried out in this region in connection The Offshore namibia region is largely unexplored, with only six wells drilled http://www.geotrack.com.au/studies/studies_base.htm
Extractions: Northwest Territories Alaska North Slope West African Margin Despite significant exploration success in the last five years along the West African margin, the margin remains under-explored and basic questions about the petroleum systems remain unanswered. Key questions relate to the unroofing (or uplift) history and the corresponding thermal history of the margin, in relation to its effect on hydrocarbon maturation history, and sources and distribution of reservoirs. This study is designed to answer those key questions on a broad regional basis by providing a comprehensive thermal history framework and exhumation history for the margin from Gabon to Namibia. Samples from wells in the offshore region, and from both wells and outcrops onshore will be included in this vast regional study

Extractions: HISTORY Introduction Parliament is a neutral place where legislators meet to talk, discuss and consult frankly with each other on political, social and economic issues and their legal implications to society. It consist of elected and, or nominated representatives responsible for making and changing laws of the country. Namibia has passed from an era in which the law making processes were communal, and through colonial rule where laws and administrative decisions making were totally in the hands of the colonising countries. The laws that were passed by the colonisers were then imposed on Namibians. The country went through a struggle for the liberation led by SWAPO which culminated in its Independence in 1990, when a parliament that is truly representative of the Namibian people was established, based on the results of general elections. However, the traditional law making process that was suppressed during the colonial period survived and the result of this historical development is the two legal systems namely, customary and statutory laws that exist side by side in Namibia today. Pre-Colonial Period According to the Councils of Khoe-Khoe group debates on normative related issues, war and peace, migration and ratification of treaties were carried out by the Council.

In prehistoric and very recent times the Kalahari thirstlands of Botswana have been central in the historical geography of the region, as the intermediate territory between the savannas of the north and east and the steppes of the south and west. Between the 1880s and its independence in the 1960s, however, Botswana was a poor and peripheral British protectorate known as Bechuanaland. The country is named after its dominant
