MUCH remained unchanged on Namibia's human rights landscape over the past year, says global human rights watchdog Amnesty International.
Releasing its 2006 report last Tuesday, the organisation noted that while there had been fewer instances of Government hate speech, violence against women and children remained pervasive.

In 1996 Norway decided to stop drought relief to Namibia in response to purchase of new expensive presidential jet and two new VIP helicopters. The planes were bought just few weeks after Sam Nujoma had appealed to the international community for aid.
The constitution of Namibia was changed to allow Nujoma to run for a third five-year term in 1999. He won that election with 76.8% of the vote. The constitution did not allow Nujoma to run again in November 2004 for a fourth term...

President Sam Nujoma yesterday warned about forthcoming purges against gays and lesbians in Namibia, saying "the Police must arrest, imprison and deport homosexuals and lesbians found in Namibia." If realised, this would make Namibia Africa's second country after Uganda acting against the gay community.
Addressing students at the University of Namibia in Windhoek, a fired-up President Nujoma yesterday declared: "The Republic of Namibia does not allow homosexuality, lesbianism here. Police are ordered to arrest you, and deport you and imprison you too," The Namibian today reported.
Nujoma's comments follow similar statements made by Home Affairs Minister Jerry Ekandjo last year, when he told new Police recruits at Ondangwa to "eliminate" gays and lesbians - whose conduct he equated to "unnatural acts" such as murder - "from the face of Namibia". In November 1998 Ekandjo also stated in the National Assembly that legislation would be tabled in Parliament to combat homosexuality.
