Description

Oil and gas companies, mostly from the global north, have set their sights on the African continent in the hopes of striking liquid gold, and Namibia has not been spared.

Seismic surveys and drilling for oil and gas have already begun in the Okavango Delta, one of Africa's last great natural sanctuaries, a pristine and rich wilderness home to vast concentrations of wildlife.

Teneal Koorts, a Namibian journalist and Rosa Luxemburg fellow, is here to unpack the fossil fuel projects currently underway in the Southern African country.
