“Strait of Hormuz: Geopolitical Strains Threaten Global Oil Supply.” It highlights how global oil supply disruptions quickly transmit across economies, reinforcing the urgency for Africa to expand refinery capacity and reduce import dependence. Namibia, despite its natural resources, faces increasing global competition and must act swiftly to capture emerging opportunities. The article emphasises the need for clear, investor-friendly policies, regulatory certainty and reduced bureaucracy to attract refinery investment, strengthen energy security and improve value addition locally. These insights are grounded in ongoing analysis of Middle East developments and global economic trends, including engagements with international economists. Please share widely – this discussion is important for shaping informed policy and advancing Namibia’s economic resilience. – Josef Kefas Sheehama
