Republik
Namibia (help·info); Afrikaans: Republiek van Namibië), is a country in southern Africa
whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It shares land borders with Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east. Although it
does not border Zimbabwe, less than
200 metres of riverbed (essentially the Zambia/Botswana border) separates them
at their closest points. It gained independence from South Africa on 21 March
1990, following the Namibian War of Independence. Its
capital and largest city is Windhoek. Namibia is a member state of the United
Nations (UN), the Southern African Development
Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), and the Commonwealth of Nations.
