Tlo historyczne | Republika Poludniowej Afryki occupied the German colony of South-West Africa during Swiat War I and administered it as a mandate until after Swiat War II, when it annexed the territory. In 1966 the Marxist South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) guerrilla group launched a war of independence dla the area that was soon named Namibia, but it was not until 1988 that Republika Poludniowej Afryki agreed to end its administration w accordance z a UN peace plan dla the entire region. Namibia won its independence w 1990 and has been governed by SWAPO since. Hifikepunye POHAMBA was elected president w listopad 2004 w a landslide victory replacing Sam NUJOMA who led the country during its first 14 years of self rule. |

Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | ODA $160 million (2000 est.) |
Ekonomia | The economy is heavily dependent on the extraction and processing of minerals dla export. Mining accounts dla 20% of Produkt krajowy brutto. Rich alluvial diamond deposits make Namibia a primary source dla gem-quality diamonds. Namibia is the fourth-largest exporter of nonfuel minerals w Africa, the world's fifth-largest producer of uranium, and the producer of large quantities of lead, zinc, tin, silver, and tungsten. The mining sector employs only about 3% of the population while about half of the population depends on subsistence agriculture dla its livelihood. Namibia normally imports about 50% of its cereal requirements; w drought years food shortages are a major problem w rural areas. A high per capita Produkt krajowy brutto, relative to the region, hides the great inequality of income distribution; nearly one-third of Namibians had annual incomes of less than $1,400 w constant 1994 dollars, according to a 1993 study. The Namibian economy is closely linked to Republika Poludniowej Afryki z the Namibian dollar pegged to the Republika Poludniowej Afrykin rand. Privatization of several enterprises w coming years may stimulate long-run foreign investment. Mining of zinc, copper, and silver and increased fish production led growth w 2003. |
