Zanu-PF-SWAPO relations
editThe ruling parties of Namibia (since independence in 1990) and Zimbabwe (since independence in 1980) have been close since pre-independence days, as both were anti-colonial movements against white-minority governments.[1]
Military
editNamibia sent troops in the Namibia Defence Force to the Democratic Republic of the Congo alongside Zimbabwe in a SADC coalition to support the government of President Laurent Kabila in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
