BREAKING : Namibia has cancelled its oil and gas contract with the United States and ordered an immediate halt to all American mining operations within its territory.

The Namibian government made it clear that it is shifting towards full state ownership and control of its natural resources, including oil and gas.

This move is part of a broader effort to assert national sovereignty over critical sectors and ensure that the country benefits more directly from its resource wealth.

The government emphasized that foreign companies will no longer dominate extraction and that new policies will prioritize state-led development and national interests.
