Namibian borders ‘porous’ – top cop
2021-03-15
ONDANGWA – Namibian borders remain porous and vulnerable to illicit trafficking and organised crime, the head of the Namibian Police Special Field Force Commissioner Elias Mutota has warned.
Mutota added there was an urgent need for borders to be properly demarcated, delimitated and de-bushed for efficient and effective patrol.
In comparison to some of the neighbouring countries bordering Namibia, Mutota said their borders are clearly marked and well maintained.
“While on our side, it is a different scenario. This status quo makes it difficult for the communities living along the borders to realise they have illegally crossed into the neighbouring territories,” said Mutota, who was speaking during the official opening of the counter-insurgency operations training at Ondangwa on Friday.
