Namibia-Botswana-Border June 02, 2021 to 09:33 122 APA-Windhoek (Namibia) It s not reflective of the true wishes of local communities says Namibia’s opposition Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) of a treaty between the country and its Southern African neighbour Botswana.
The PDM is therefore demanding the cancellation of the 2018 border treaty which it claims was hastily concluded without consultations with affected communities.
PDM lawmaker Geoffrey Mwilima said Namibians living along the border with Botswana have complained that part of their grazing land and tourist attractions “are now part of Botswana following the signing of the boundary treaty by the then Botswana President Liutenant General Ian Khama and President Hage Geingob in 2018.”
