Reference No. AA.1: Namibia. Press Archives and Ephemera - Reference No. AA.2 Namibia’s Independence
Description
An account of the resource
"Die Sammlung AA.1 im Allgemeinen Archiv der Basler Afrika Bibliographien besteht aus einer umfangreichen, zufälligen Ansammlung von Presseartikeln und Ephemera aus und zu Namibia, d.h. Prospekten, Broschüren, Formularen, Werbung und Flugblättern jeglicher Art. Sie umfasst jene Dokumente und Materialien, die in den anderen BAB Sammlungen (Bibliothek, Foto–Archiv; Kalendersammlung, Kartensammlung, Personenarchiv und Plakatsammlung), nicht aufgenommen werden. Derzeit besteht die Sammlung aus rund 50 Archivschachteln. Es handelt sich um eine laufende, thematisch offene Sammlung, die keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit erhebt; sie wird nur grob geordnet. Sie bietet zu unzähligen Themen Stoff– sammlungen, die sowohl über eine gewisse Aktualität wie auch historische Kontinuität verfügen. Damit kann die Sammlung Forschenden manchen unverhofften Einblick verschaffen, manches unerwartetes Dokument bieten. Ursprünglich von Carl Schlettwein als laufendes Presse- und Dokumentationsarchiv zu Namibia angelegt, wurde die Sammlung 1994 durch Thorsten Hinz erstmals in einer Registratur erfasst.1 Später wurde sie von Pierrette Schlettwein neu konzipiert und wesentlich ausgeweitet.2 Simon Lutz überarbeitete die Sammlung im Jahr 2009 vollständig, eine Arbeit, die mit dieser Registratur ihren Abschluss findet. --- Die Sammlung AA.2 besteht aus einer breiten, von Carl Schlettwein zusammengetragenen Auswahl von Presseartikeln und Ephemera (Broschüren, Handzettel usw.) zur Unabhängigkeit Namibias, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf den Zeitraum 1989/1990. Die Ephemera zu (politischen) Organisationen in Namibia wurden vor Ort von Dag Henrichsen und Werner Hillebrecht gesammelt. Die Sammlung besteht aus drei Archivschachteln und wurde 1994 von Sabine Schmidt und Thorsten Hinz in einer detaillierten Registratur erfasst.4 Simon Lutz überarbeitete nun das Inhaltsverzeichnis der Registratur, nachdem manche Archivmappe der Sammlung aufgelöst wurde. Zeitschriften, die ursprünglich Teil der Sammlung waren, wurden in die Bibliotheksbestände integriert. Korrespon– denzmappen gelangten in das BAB Institutsarchiv, Plakate in die Plakatsammlung. Manches relevante Einzeldokument wurde der Sammlung neu beigegeben. Inzwischen umfasst die Sammlung ausschliesslich gedruckte Materialien. Das folgende Inhaltsverzeichnis zeigt die Veränderungen auf. Die Registratur selbst bleibt brauchbar, siehe das pdf Dokument auf der Webseite. Die AA.2. Sammlung ist nicht die einzige Sammlung, die Dokumente zur Unab– hängigkeit Namibias beinhaltet. Auch die Sammlungen AA.1 sowie die SWAPO Sammlung AA.35 beziehen sich in Teilen auf die namibische Unabhängigkeit."

Women’s Rights and Customary Law in Namibia: A Conflict between Human and Cultural Rights?
Description
An account of the resource
"The starting point for this article was research conducted on the tension between cultural rights and gender equality within the Human Rights and Documentation Centre (HRDC)3 of the University of Namibia’s Faculty of Law in 2007 and 2008. The following paragraphs demonstrate that the legal framework relating to gender-sensitive issues in Namibia is wide-ranging on national, regional and international levels. Some of these legal instruments take up the potential conflicts between women’s rights and customary law by aiming to achieve gender integration and equality" BAB Working Paper 2010:02 Presented at the Basler Afrika Bibliographien. 15 July 2010

An account of the resource
"A tour de force from "the other Nelson Mandela!" Political determination, diplomatic endeavour, and military perseverance all focused with singular vision and unwavering constancy on Namibia's goal of nationhood have been the hallmarks of the life and career of Sam Nujoma. From a traditional boyhood, to a player on the international political stage, to the Presidency of his country, SAM NUJOMA tells his life story. It is at once unique and representative of the lives of men and women engaged with him in their battle for freedom from the last vestiges of Western colonialism in 20th century Africa. Where Others Wavered, The Autobiography of Sam Nujoma is a genuine adventure in contemporary history, relating the story of SWAPO, Nujoma and the people of Namibia in their long struggle for the Independence of Namibia.

Kenya Batallion in Namibia
Description
An account of the resource
Kenya Battalion in Namibia is a debut book of note by a retired Kenya Army officer. The book is ground-breaking because in the highly secretive military service in Kenya, rarely do we hear army officers tell about their exploits in the service. It is an entertaining account that gives us a slice of how life was for the Kenyan Army officers in Namibia between 1989 and 1990. As it does so, it explains the forces at work during the period preceding Namibian freedom in 1990. The analytical narrative is by a disciplined soldier who does not want to be rude to his motherland. It showers glowing praise on such valiant soldiers as Brigadier Daniel Opande and Lieutenant-Colonel Kithinji. But, like all texts, Kenyan Battalion in Namibia can be politically fascinating when read against the grain. Its praise for foreign land is in a way criticism of mother land. Its political statements about Kenya can be found in the fascination it has for Namibia. Kenyan towns are dirty, the text says without saying, as he praises the cleanliness of Namibian town, which a Kenyan "could not help noting" because of "the gaping difference" between foreign towns and Kenyan ones. "Namibian towns were so clean that a person could easily pick an orange from the pavement and eat it without a second thought about germs," the writer says. The potholes in Nairobi are also a subject directly addressed by hyperbolic praise of Namibia. "Roads too were a sight to behold," the amazed writer notes. "They were spacious, accommodating and had no potholes." In describing the language problem the Kenya Army encountered in Namibia with respect to Afrikaans, the text is suggesting that the officers should be trained in different and foreign languages. The book is humorous, and although it is factual, it is imaginatively conceived and written. The ceremonies Kenyans performed to enhance their identity are described in detail. These include the Madaraka Day celebration that were attended by Kenyan traditional dances and pomp. The operation was not a bed of roses. The writer remembers an accident in July 1989 when Kenya lost two officers. The media reports in which a Kenyan officer was said to expend his urges of the groin on a Namibian woman are revisited, and a detailed clarification given. The suspect was said to have a big hole in the ear lobe, and this was associated with the Kenyan cultures which pierce their ear lobes. The text intervenes on the Kenyan officers who had become the butt of Namibian press regarding an above-average appetite for other people's spouses. Kenyan soldiers were also open to attack by sections of Namibians. The text gives the case of a Lieutenant-Colonel Kamau who was stabbed several times in an attack. "Hostility from sections of Namibians (who thought the Kenyan Battalion was partisan) was endemic," the book says. "Accusations and other intimidating mechanisms were the order of the day. For Kenyans, danger was lurking in the veld, in houses and along lonely streets." Spine-chilling tales the brutality of Boar soldiers are retailed with favour when on one occasion a white soldier is killed in combat. Boers, it was said, would hunt down black people, torture them to death in a most bizarre way before giving animals a treat. "Properly cooked, a man's fresh flesh is delicious food for Boer's pigs," a white man is quoted as having remarked. The book explains the reason why our soldiers had to fly to Namibia. The Kenya army was not called to Namibian aid because Namibia did not have enough forces, it says. There was bad blood between the Apartheid South African-trained forces of the colonial government, and the guerilla freedom fighters. Both were military competent, but ideologically incompatible, the book says. Kenya which had "many of the necessary credentials" was called in to help foresee a smooth transition where the two groups would work together in defence of their newly-independent country. The book is angry with political elite who use the army to achieve their selfish ends. In a politically bold statement, the author bashes political leaders who forget other departments to please the army so that, in turn, it can prop them into power. "Generally the forces are maintained as a watchdog to prop unpopular regimes which would otherwise be voted out of office by a most dissatisfied electorate," Mwarania says. "Inevitably the masters of such armies have resulted to playing on the tribal factors in their quest for dominance." The author does not say whether these problems exist in Kenya, but he pulls no punches in criticising "African" political establishment. "Conventionally, most of Africa's defence forces fit as tribal home guards or at best as political party brown shirts employed to secure the interests of their masters," says Mwarania. "They cannot defend the very nation that feeds and sustains them." It is the book's secret anger that makes it an allegory of our system. One wishes Mwarania could write a novel which would allow him more freedom to deploy stylistic strategies with which he would fight the national enemies of Kenya. He has the potential, a fact not lost on University of Nairobi's Prof. Chris Wanjala in a foreword to the 153-page book. "Ben Mwarania is a writer to note," says Prof. Wanjala, Kenya's most authoritative and strictest literary critic who will not praise you for nothing. "It will not be surprising if one day he writes a novel." There are a few editorial lapses, but the text is fairly well edited."
