NAMIB­IA: THE STRUG­GLE FOR LIB­ER­A­TION de­picts the long strug­gle waged by the peo­ple of Namib­ia for their in­de­pen­dence that was ul­ti­mate­ly won with the help of Cuban mil­i­tary vol­un­teers fight­ing in An­go­la. The 1987 bat­tle of Cuito Cua­navale, in which the South African army was de­ci­sive­ly de­feat­ed, turned the tide in the lib­er­a­tion strug­gle for all of South­ern Africa. This was one of the key fac­tors that led to Namib­ian In­de­pen­dence and the elec­tion of Sam Nu­jo­ma as Namib­ia 's first Pres­i­dent and forced the white supremacist South African gov­ern­ment to free Pres­i­dent Nel­son Man­dela and to ne­go­ti­ate with the African Na­tion­al Congress.
