The Forgotten Refugees of Namibia | unearth Documentary

A group of Namibian refugees who returned to their motherland in 1989 are the subject of the short documentary "The Forgotten Refugees of Namibia." These former refugees from Namibia claim that they were never given the opportunity to rebuild their lives which was a component of the UNHCR resettlement programme. This programme was intended to rehabilitate, reconstruct, and resettle the refugees in anticipation of Namibia's independence in 1990. The group decided to establish an association known as the "Former Namibian Refugees Repatriated in 1989" where they staged countless protests over the years under this body. Sadly, these forgotten refugees have been unsuccessful in their protests calling for a round table discussion with the Namibian government and the UNHCR to address concerns that some of the money intended for their resettlement was not handed to them. The members of the association also claim that a sizable percentage of former Namibian refugees have turned to drug and alcohol abuse as a result of the horrifying events they observed during Namibia's war for independence. The group, which is headed by Matheus Nangolo, has been dwelling at a site known as the Old Compound by many Namibians throughout the Apartheid government rule. During that time, the Old Compound served as a housing facility for Black migrant casual labourers who were oppressed and overworked to death. Today, this location is a short distance from Swapo's new N$730 million headquarters, which is currently under construction and has generated considerable national debate. Many of these former refugees claim that despite having served in the Peoples Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) during the liberation struggle, they are now forced to live in poverty while others are granted veteran status, hold important government positions, and have luxurious lifestyles.
