Namibia, officially Republic of Namibia, also called (internationally until 1968)South West Africa, AfrikaansNamibië, or Suidwesafrica, a country located on the southwestern coast of Africa. It is bordered byAngola to the north, Zambia to the northeast,Botswana to the east,South Africa to the southeast and south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It ranges from arid in the north to desert on the coast and in the east. The landscape is spectacular, but the desert, mountains, canyons, and savannas are perhaps better to see than to occupy.
Upon the dissolution of the League of Nations in 1946, South Africa refused to accept United Nations authority to replace its mandate with a UN trusteeship. A black Marxist separatist group, the South West African People's Organization (SWAPO), formed in 1960 and began small-scale guerrilla attacks aimed at achieving independence.
The Namibian flag was adopted on March 21, 1990, when Namibia, then known as South West Africa, gained independence from South Africa. The flag's main colors are the same as the 1971 flag of SWAPO (South West African People's Organization), the most important liberation movement. That flag consists of horizontal stripes of blue-red-green, the most important colors of the Ovambos the largest ethnic population in Namibia.
The flag of Namibia consists of three diagonal stripes - the top stripe is blue; the middle is red, and the bottom stripe is green. The blue and green stripes are of equal size. The red stripe in the middle is bordered on the top and bottom by a thin white stripe. In the top blue stripe, there is a golden sun with 12 straight rays.
A golden 12-pointed sun was added in the upper hoist corner to represent life and energy. While no specific color attributions were originally made, red is now considered to reflect the heroism of the people and their determination to build a future of equal opportunity. Green is for agricultural resources, blue is for the sky and the Atlantic Ocean, and white is for peace and unity.
Red - represents Namibia's most important resource, its people. It refers to their heroism and their determination to build a future of equal opportunity for all; White - refers to peace and unity. Green - symbolizes vegetation and agricultural resources. Blue - represents the clear Namibian sky and the Atlantic Ocean, the country's precious water resources and rain; and the golden-yellow sun represents life and energy.
