Namibia: A Success Story of a Developing Nation

Namibia's success derives from the resiliency of its people; the fact that the country is regionally known as "The Land of the Braves" is no accident. Namibia is known for its sound governance: an independent judiciary, respect for the rule of law, a functioning court system, low crime rate, and a highly educated young population. The country respects and protects the environment, rich in its minerals, landscapes, and modern infrastructure. Join Judge Angulo as he discusses how these factors serve as catalysts for Namibia in its economic struggle against poverty and inequality amongst its citizens.
