Namib Desert is an arid coastal region in Namibia (South-West Africa).
It extends about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from Angola in the north to South Africa in the south.

Namib Desert contains Mineral and other resources include uranium, copper, gold, coal, diamonds, zinc and offshore oil and natural gas deposits.

These resources were explored by South Africa when Namibia was not an independent country.

Since it gained its independence in 1990, forage is reduced or abandoned.

Here you see a gig oil forage factory, abandoned since years… Only wind and sand are occupied to dismantle it.
