Plans to repatriate 201 Namibian descendents from Botswana to Gam Settlement in the Otjozondjupa Region have hit a snag.

Otjozondjupa Governor James Uerikua confirmed that the initial plan to repatriate the community by the end of this year is stalled due to logistical challenges.

Uerikua points to transportation challenges, including the suggested travel dates for moving the people, their furniture, and their livestock of about 18,000.

The last group of 26 refugees and asylum seekers in Namibia left for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

nbc News caught up with them during the wee hours of this morning at the Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA).

To them, this is a bittersweet moment of returning home after many years—a situation that should have never happened had there been peace and stability in the country.

They, however, say that with some sort of peace and stability in some parts of the war-prone zones, going back home is a blessing.
