On April 1, 1989, the United Nations took charge of overseeing Namibia's transition to independence and arranged a ceasefire, but almost immediately elements of PLAN returning to their homeland were ambushed by troops of the SADF. When the shooting subsided, 270 Namibians lay dead. The dreaded 101st Battalion of SADF-SWATF was deployed by the UN representatives in Namibia "to maintain law and order." South Africa, which had been looking for a pretense to attack SWAPO ever since its defeat at Cuito Cuanavale in 1988, loudly proclaimed through the Western press that SWAPO had violated the agreement and was infiltrating guerrillas into Namibia from bases in Angola.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
