In Windhoek the flag of the occupier<br />finally made way for one heralding a rising sun. Peace returned to Namibia and<br />Namibia to the Namibians. South Africa had withdrawn from Angola after years of<br />intimate involvement.

In many towns and villages in Angola the maimed and the<br />wounded are still to be seen. |
