The draft UN resolution calling for the end of the US economic embargo has been adopted after 187 UN member states voted in support of the resolution.

The 187 member states argued that the US decision to ignore the previous resolutions of the World Body with impunity was unacceptable.

The blockade, imposed in 1962, has reached extreme levels, continues to demonstrate the centrality of US foreign policy on Cuba, and undermines all diplomatic efforts.

The City Of Windhoek is tomorrow enforcing a resolution passed during a municipal council meeting in October to remove the statue of German South West Africa military officer, Curt von François, from its premises.

The statue, according to a press release issued by the Windhoek City Council will be removed at a yet-to-be-determined time on Wednesday morning.

The statue which stood in front of the Council offices for nearly 60 years will be moved to the Windhoek City Museum for storage and will be re-erected at a not yet known date next year.
