SWAPO warns Angolan refugees

    NAIROBI
    Ruling SWAPO secretary-general, Hifikepunye Pohamba, has warned Angolan refugees living in the Namibian Kavango region to refrain from cooperating with UNITA rebels. “Any Angolan national found to be promoting UNITA activities in Namibia will be regarded as an enemy of the citizens of this country,” Pohamba said on Saturday. He was addressing SWAPO supporters at the start of the party’s election campaign for the upcoming Rundu Urban constituency by-election. “The Namibian government will not tolerate such practices to be carried out by foreigners without taking action,” he warned.
