Why is 97% of Namibia empty?

Namibia is one of the most inhospitable and enigmatic places on the planet – a country with vast natural resources but virtually uninhabited. Larger than Minas Gerais, its coastline is one of the most empty stretches of land in the world due to the relentless Namib Desert, which impedes urban development and makes navigation extremely dangerous, resulting in the feared "Skeleton Coast". Despite its hostile environment, Namibia is one of the richest regions in terms of resources on the planet. Since the 19th century, it has been exploited for its vast diamond deposits, initially by the Germans and later by the South African apartheid regime. In addition to diamonds, the country is one of the world's largest producers of uranium, essential for nuclear power plants. But the most recent discovery could transform Namibia forever: gigantic oil reserves in the Orange Basin have the potential to place it among the 20 largest producers in the world. This oil could replace half of what Russia exported to Europe, making Namibia a key player on the global energy scene. However, the country still faces structural challenges. Mineral wealth does not translate into equality, and there are fears that oil exploration will widen this disparity. Namibia's future will depend on how it manages its resources.
