Namibians achieved independence in 1990 after a bush war of
almost 25 years. Inter-racial reconciliation encouraged the
country's white people to remain and they still play a major
role in farming and other economic sectors.
Deserts occupy much of the country; their dunes take on
shapes and colours according to the elements. The country also
boasts game-rich grasslands and a semi-arid Central Plateau,
large tracts of which are given over to livestock farming.
