INTRODUCTION 1. By resolution 2679 (XXV) of 9 December 1970, the General Assembly decided to establish a United Nations Fund for Namibia. The decision was premised on the consideration that the United Nations, having terminated South Africa's mandate to administer Namibia and having itself assumed direct responsibility for Namibia until independence, had incurred a solemn obligation to assist and prepare the people of Namibia for independence and that to this end the United Nations should provide them with comprehensive assistance. 2. The Assembly's decision was taken after consideration of a request by the Security· Council, contained in its resolution 283 (1970) of 29 July 1970, that a fund should be created to provide assistance to Namibians who had' suffered from p~rsecution and to finance a comprehensive educational training programme for Namibians, with particular regard to their future administrative responsibilities in the Territory. 3. Having taken a decision of principle upon the establishment of the Fund, the Assembly, in paragraph 5 of resolution 2679 (XXV), deferred the decision on the extent of the financial implications pending receipt at its twenty-sixth session of a report to be prepared by the Secretary-General.

    Confidential NAMIBIAN REVIEW: MARCH 2005 Confidential A BRIEF POLITICAL OVERVIEW AND CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF DIAMOND DEVELOPMENTS IN NAMIBIA 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent elections in Namibia saw the ruling South West African Peoples Organisation (Swapo) swept back into power with the same number of seats as the previous election in 1999. With the new presidential candidate Hifikepunye Lukas Pohamba only being inaugurated on 24 March, continuity of policy on all levels is more or less expected, given the fact that Pohamba was hand-chosen by outgoing president Sam Nujoma to replace him. Potential rivals for the Swapo presidency were dealt with in the months leading up to the elections. This included specifically Hidipo Hamutenya, once one of Swapo's favourite sons, who was unceremoniously dumped as foreign minister by Nujoma in May 2004 just days before the Swapo Congress to choose Nujoma's successor. Though defeated, Hamutenya's background and support base in amongst people _ who were part of Swapo's Peoples Uberation Army of Namibia (Plan), will ensure that he emerges once again as Pohamba's chief challenger for the position in five years time. The opposition remains weak and in general disarray with the once powerful Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) , having lost nearly half the parliamentary seats it had prior to the last elections. As far as developments on the diamond front are concerned the report makes the following broad points: • Continuity in the government's diamond policy can be expected under Pohamba. • Lev Leviev has been the driving force behind changes in Namibia's mining legislation in 1999 and further changes being contemplated for the near future.

Iran is a great team but I think we played a good game and deserved three points’ By Sports Reporter Doha atar edged closer to a place in the quarter-fi nals with a 2-1 win over Iran at the Al Sadd Stadium yesterday. Goals on Qeither side of the break saw the hosts claim a morale-boosting victory in what was a keenly contested encounter which even saw Iran miss a penalty. The match began in a frenetic note, similar to Qatar’s opening encoun- ter against China. And mirroring that match, this one too saw Iran being the dominant side during the initial stages of the match. It took the home side about a quarter of an hour to settle down and fi nd their rhythm.
