The Namibian natives are very, very restless! The Chinese have muscled out Namibian and German companies for some very lucrative road building contracts that the Germans were funding as part of their Imperial reperations scheme.
Needless to say the Namibians are really mad at their SWAPO government leaders ( was a radical revolutionary op in the apart days ) and are threatening "action".
If all these folks are so mad at each other and ready to fight over some road building what do you think they will do if there is oil and the Chinese are running it?
I will tell you: violent fighting complete with SWAPO's favourite intimidatin tool: "necklacing" ( where they take tires, soak them well in petro, put them around the victims neck, light them up and then watch as the poor bloke runs screaming down the road!) - a very effective means of getting what they want!
