	Omaheke Region
		On the Eastern border of Namibia, Omaheke takes its name from the Herero word for Sandveld, and the region is a sparsely populated due to its sandy soil, but there are tribal groups such as the San and Nama, as well as the Herero, who survive by cattle farming.
		Omaheke borders the Kalihari desert, and was first put on the map by missionaries, who founded a station here in 1856, and after much fighting between the Herero and Nama tribes, the Germans tentatively settled here in the late 19th century.
		The Herero are a fierce and warlike people who objected to the German occupation of their land, and took on the might of the German empire in 1904, with some success in the early stages.

		IRIN visited one of Namibia's oldest resettlement projects, Drimiopsis, in the large Omaheke region east of the capital, Windhoek, where some 500 inhabitants are struggling to be self-sufficient on nine hectares of farmland.

		In the northwest region of the country, which enjoys higher annual rainfall than the Omaheke region and is therefore more suited to intensive horticulture, resettlement beneficiaries had been able to sell their surplus produce in the nearby town of Grootfontein.

	NamibWeb.com - The online guide to Namibia: Herero holocaust?
		It is commonly held that thousands of Herero and their livestock perished in the desert and that General von Trotha ordered his troops to prevent their return and ensure the total destruction of the Herero nation.
		This figure was not, as indicated in the Observer article, based on a belief that most Herero perished in the Omaheke, but rather on a physical count conducted by a German officer, Hauptmann Streitwolf, who travelled to Botswana in August 1905 to recruit labour.
		In short, the claim is that the Herero moved eastwards to Waterberg, because of drought and as part of a preconceived plan to move to Botswana - reiterating that the German military were not at fault in the gruesome Omaheke exodus.

		The extremely marginalised status of all San children in Omaheke has meant that the project, while initially formulated with girls in mind, has instead targeted all San children in Omaheke.
		Both Omaheke and Kavango samples were provisionally selected by UNICEF/Namibia staff members, and then amended and approved by primary project partners in each region.
		One major constraint in Omaheke was the recent termination of the project agreement between the OST and UNICEF/Namibia due to financial irregularities.

	AEGiS-AFROL: Namibian AIDS/HIV Programme launched - September 2000
		afrol.com, 21 September - The Omaheke Health and Education Programme (OHEP), a non-governmental organisation run by Oxfam in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Social Services, on 15 September launched a HIV/AIDS and STI home-based prevention care programme at the region’s capital, Gobabis, about 180 kilometres east of Windhoek.
		The Councillor reiterated that people living with HIV/AIDS have the right to care, in an environment without stigmatisation, discrimination and they should not be condemned or accused but rather helped to overcome their difficulties.
		She said this has led to people not believing that HIV/AIDS is a reality, adding that as a result OHEP felt obliged to strengthen the Ministry of Health's efforts in fighting the deadly killer disease by conducting home-based care visits.

		A commercial farm, communal farming areas and a number of San communities in the Omaheke Region were visited to involve the community members in determining criteria for the selection of San HIV community facilitators and nominating them.
		The Traditional Authority (TA) of the Khwe of West Caprivi, the Ju’hoansi TA of Omaheke North and the !Xõó TA of Omaheke South have repeatedly expressed their grave concern that if government continues to deny them official recognition, they will remain excluded from the land boards in charge of allocating communal land to community members.
		The San hold the view that the denial of recognition is weakening their position and strengthening the ongoing domination of their people by other ethnic groups, which perpetuates San marginalisation in local political affairs.
