Produced by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) Issue No 1: 2020 Your Record of 2019 Election Results These results are based on a spreadsheet received from the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) on February 20 2020 with the exception that a mistake made by the ECN concerning the Windhoek Rural constituency result for the Presidential election has been corrected. The mistake, in which the votes for Independent candidate and the UDF candidate had been transposed, was spotted by the IPPR and has been acknowledged by the ECN.

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors. -

Highlights • Multiproxy study of a drillcore in the Danakil depression, Afar, Ethiopia. • More than 600m of sediments dominated by evaporites most probably formed during the last 130ka. • Formation by evaporation of seawater after flooding of the depression and by remobilization through meteoric water inflow. • High sedimentation rates, important subsidence and rapid extensional tectonics. • Probably the most Recent analogue of Past Salt Giants.

Foxes were found opportu- nistically during travel on foot or by vehicle, as specified below. All coordinates and elevations were determined post hoc from Google The Afar Desert (hereafter Afar), alternatively known as the Afar Tri- Earth. Distances were estimated visually. angle, Danakil Depression, or Danakil Desert, is a large arid area span- ning Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Somaliland (Mengisteab 2013). Its fauna remains poorly known, as exemplified by the fact that the first Results possible record of Canis lupus dates back only to 2004 (Tiwari and Sillero-Zubiri 2004; note that the identification in this case is still On 14 May 2007, JH saw a fox in degraded desert near the town of uncertain). -
