Red Line (Namibia)
The Red Line, also referred to the veterinary cordon fence (VCF) is a pest-exclusion fence separating northern Namibia from the central and southern country parts. It encases several northern regions: Oshana Region, Kavango East Region, Omusati Region, Zambezi Region, Omaheke Region, Kunene Region, and parts of Khomas Region and Oshikoto Region.〔''Namibia's Red Line: The History of a Veterinary and Settlement Border'', Palgrave MacMillan, 2012, p. 170〕 South of the fence today there commercial farms where the farmers, many of which are white, own the land. Most of these farms are fenced in and are accessible by constructed farm roads. North of the line, on the other hand, all farm land is communal and operated mostly by black farmers. Livestock is not constrained by fences and often ventures onto roads.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Namibia )〕 The red line is a highly guarded line which has roadblocks to check every vehicle which passes.
==History==
The demarcation was created in 1896 in the hope to contain a Rinderpest outbreak in the Imperial German colony of South-West Africa. Fort Namutoni was built as a Police station to control north-south travel of the indigenous population and their livestock; the line went further to Okaukuejo in the west and Otjituuo in the east. Nevertheless the epidemic reached Windhoek in 1897, wiping out half of the cattle population of the OvaHerero people. Its name stems from the depiction in red ink on a 1911 map created by the German colonial administration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Police Zone )〕 The Red Line was changed several times and was since the 1960s also used to isolate Foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in the North from the farms in the South.
