Members of the Former Refugees Repatriation Association of Namibia (FRRAN), currently camping at the Swapo Party Headquarters, say they will not budge until their demands are met. 

This follows a formal eviction notice from the party's lawyers, ordering the group to vacate the premises within 24 hours or face urgent High Court action. 

The ultimatum is clear: vacate the area immediately or face a High Court eviction order. 

In a letter from the party's legal representatives, the association was warned that their continued presence at the headquarters is unlawful and lacks justifiable reason.

The correspondence further claims that the group's grievances have been heard and resolved on multiple occasions, including during high-level meetings with United Nations representatives.

However, the association remains defiant. 

They maintain they are still waiting for a specific letter from the UN detailing the terms of their repatriation, rehabilitation, and resettlement. 

They argue that these core components were never implemented as originally stipulated.

FRANN member Erastus Wilhem argues, "The High Court letter that is being referred to is not a threat because we did not request the High Court but came to our leaders to discuss the problems at hand."

President of FRRAN is adamant, "We are not moving from here until our things are fulfilled. Until the letter we requested is provided, we will continue to camp here peacefully, like we have done since October last year. We are not here to destroy anything, but we are not moving until they bring what we requested."

Beyond the eviction notice, the group is also highlighting what they call "unequal treatment" regarding veterans' allowances. 

They are demanding a standardised grant for all veterans of the liberation struggle, regardless of the categories currently defined in the Veterans Act.

Last year, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs responded to a petition from the group by recommending that the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs review monthly subventions and welfare grants.

"We have been fighting for years so that the freedom fighters and the struggle kids have equal benefits. This letter is from parliament indicating the money to be equal; it does not make sense to have some getting N$2200.00 and others N$50.000 and N$80.000. "We have taken the matter to the two legislative houses, and they said there is nothing like that, and all will receive the same this year," added Nangolo. 

The group has been camping at the headquarters since October 2025. They are now calling for a direct engagement with President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to resolve the long-standing impasse.
