Namibia - Nuclear Reactions

Namibia, a country in south-west Africa with a population the size of Merseyside's, has variously been described as the most heavily militarised zone in the world and as having the worst poverty in Africa. What has it got to do with us here in Britain? Why did Liverpool port workers blockade cargos of processed uranium bound for America? How are British nuclear and mining companies involved? Why were 300 Namibians killed by South African forces in the first week of the UN-supervised 'peace' plan?
