Namibia ranks third globally in terms of income inequality. Six percent of its population owns 70% of the land, and the scars of German colonization remain profound. Between 1904 and 1908, the Germans established concentration camps where indigenous Herero and Nama people were detained. Up to 80% of them perished in what Germany later acknowledged as the first genocide of the 20th Century. Descendants of these victims, like Karvita, reside in illegal settlements, facing constant threats of eviction, while descendants of the colonizers continue to hold the majority of the land without hesitation.

The majority of Namibia’s abundant natural resources are either owned or controlled by foreign entities. DeBeers dominates the diamond industry, and the ruling Swapo party, widely viewed as corrupt, receives support from its longstanding ally: China. Chinese entities control the construction and uranium sectors, with leaked documents from 2021 revealing illegal subcontracting to North Korea for the construction of the country’s State House.

Much of Namibia’s terrain is thinly populated, allowing nature to thrive. It boasts one of the world’s largest wildlife populations, including the only free-roaming black rhinos. However, these animals face constant threats from the Chinese mafia, while desertification, exacerbated by global warming, poses a danger to indigenous communities.
