Additional Information
The author describes in chilling detail regarding the years of dispute between South Africa and the United Nations, after 23 years of bush warfare between the Marxist-oriented South West Africa People's organization (SWAPO), and South African forces. Supposedly, peace had been agreed to, but SWAPO's leader was preparing for even more war. This is the story of a continued nine-day fight between these 2 factions. This is Peter Stiff's story of the fighting that occurred in Nambia
The 1st April 1989 marked the first day of peace in Namibia. After seemingly endless years of dispute between South Africa and the UN, after 23 years of bush warfare between SWAPO and the SADF, which had spread from Namibia into Angola and, at times, into Zambia, Namibia was finally on course for UN supervised free and fair elections in November 1989, which would lead to independence in 1990. The South Africans had stuck to the letter of the agreements and even more. By 1st April they had demobilised the powerful SWA Territory Force, drastically reduced the strength of the SADF and confined the residue still remaining in Namibia to their bases. When the Sun rose on that fateful day, it would catch the shadows of only five SAAF Alouette helicopter gunships, emasculated of their deadly cannons, and dispersed along 400-km of the Namibian border with Angola. SWAPOAs leader, Sam Nujoma, knew it, for the knowledge was international property via the UN.
