 * Where:** ___South Africa ____________________________________________________


 * Who:** ______South Africa and (SWAPO) South-West Africa People’s Organization ___________________________________________________


 * Why: _____My project is on the Namibian War of Independence. It’s about the fighting between South Africa and South-West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO). The war lasted from 1966 to 1988. This war was called the Guerrilla War, because SWAPO Began guerrilla attacks in South Africa. Ever since that happened it was war. This war was a very long one. South Africa had won the battle. So then Africa agreed to hand control of Namibia to the United Nations. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________**
 * Winner of Conflict:** _______South Africa ________________________________


 * Result/Effects of Conflict: Well, the first President of Namibia was Sam Nujoma. He had to be watched by a guy named Nelson Mandela who was just released from prison. But everything seemed to work out okay afterwards. They just went there ways and tried to send the agreement. On Febuary 9, 1990, the Constituent Assembly had adopted a constitution and then made the Independence day on March 1990. h**

 * Opinion:** Well my opinion is pretty much just basic. I thought that this should not have even happened. But I don’t think that the SWAPO should have sent guerrilla attacks on them. Most of the time people are hurt when they did nothing wrong. And that is my opinion.
