Residents of Dordabis settlement in Windhoek Rural Constituency yesterday ended up in an all-out brawl over land.

The conflict started with a group of disgruntled individuals who decided to illegally occupy state-owned land and put up structures, much to the annoyance of another group, who insisted they follow the processes in place.

nbc News reporter Emil Seibeb shares more from Dordabis, where a community meeting was held in response to the conflict. 

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism is developing a five-year National Human-Wildlife Conflict Action Plan.

The action plan comes after the Cabinet's approval of the resolutions of the first National Conference on Human-Wildlife Conflict Management that was held earlier this year.

Cabinet directed the ministry to develop a five-year action plan for implementation of the resolution within three months.

The Dutch and Danish Prime Ministers have underscored the need to have discussions around the Ukraine-Russia conflict outside Europe in a bid to find amicable solutions.

This is given the extensive impact of the conflict on the global economy, Namibia included.

Mukwe Constituency Councillor Damian Maghambayi is calling for permanent solutions to human-wildlife conflict, involving elephants. 

Maghambayi says many villages close to the Mahango Game Park are losing their crops to elephants escaping from the game park.

The Councillor made the call when he visited some affected crop farmers at Kangundja village.

Maghambayi has proposed the establishment of a conservancy in the area, calling on the Ministry of Environment, Tourism and Forest to educate the people on the benefits they will derive from it.
