Ovamboland People's Organization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ovamboland People's Organization is a defunct separatist organization that advocated an independent Ovamboland (Namibia). Andimba Toivo ya Toivo founded the OPO in 1957.[1]

On December 10, 1959 police shot and killed 10 protesters in Katatura, Namibia, inspiring OPO leaders to create the South-West Africa People's Organization.[1]
