Today, Monday 21 March 2016, is Independence Day in Namibia. No parades nor fireworks where I live, but a day off from school and work to reflect on the long, long history of freedom in Namibia, which ceded briefly to German rule in the second half of the 19th century and just into the 20th, and then South African rule for most of the rest of the twentieth. The battle for independence was harsh and long, and the newborn nation has made great strides. Congratulations, Namibia and Namibians!
In lieu of fireworks
The first star of Independence Evening, for wishing great things for Namibia's 27th year, and the future beyond.
