Amnesty International calls for protection of Angolans pushed by drought to Namibia

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 05:01

Amnesty International called for the protection of Angolans who were forced to cross the border to Namibia due to drought. The organization revealed that thousands of people live in inhumane conditions in the neighboring country.

Amnesty International's assessment, released today, warned of the need for "humanitarian concern" in light of the situation. The organization also emphasized that "international solidarity" is needed to address this crisis.

The displaced Angolans face extreme difficulties in Namibia, a country that is also suffering the effects of the drought. The humanitarian situation has deteriorated significantly in recent times, especially affecting the most vulnerable populations.
