Independence brought to an end one of the most intractable and wasteful conflicts in the region. With independence, the people of Namibia not only gained political freedom, but set out on the challenging task of building a nation and defining their relations with the world. From the perspective of mediation, the role of the international community in bringing about Namibia's independence in general, and that of the United Nations in particular, was of a deep structural nature.

We recorded 360 bird and 44 mammal species during our 19-day journey from the highlands of Windhoek to the lush banks of the Zambezi, with desert, savanna and wetlands in between. ________________________________________________________________________________ We officially kicked off our birding with a late afternoon visit to Avis Dam, on the outskirts of the Namibian capital. The area was so thick with different species that we didn’t even complete a quarter of the route before the sun dipped behind the Auas Mountains. It started with a tree full of waxbills – Blue, Violet-eared, Black-faced and Common. Our list soon included Green-winged Pytilia, Red-headed Finch, Scaly-feathered Weaver, Chestnut-vented Warbler, Scarlet- chested and Marico Sunbirds, Black-chested Prinia, Yellow-bellied Eremomela, Acacia Pied Barbet, Pririt Batis, Crimson-breasted Shrike, Brown-crowned Tchagra, Bearded and Cardinal Woodpecker, Lark-like Bunting, White-backed Mousebird and a Pearl-spotted Owlet. On a repeat visit the next morning, we had just climbed out of the car when a pair of Orange River Francolins starting calling, eventually allowing us excellent looks. Our other major quarry was Quailfinch. After spotting several flying specks, we finally found a female on the ground where she sat Acacia Pied Barbet by Wayne Jones for a couple of minutes.
