CASSINGA MASSACRE

 Cassinga Massacre was a brutal attack on a Namibian refugee camp by South African forces on May 4, 1978. The camp, located near the town of Cassinga in Angola, was home to thousands of Namibian refugees who had fled their homeland seeking safety from the conflict with South Africa. The South African Defence Force, with the support of its allies, launched a surprise attack on the camp, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people, mostly women and children.

The Cassinga Massacre had a devastating impact on the Namibian people, both in terms of loss of life and traumatic experiences. Many families were torn apart, and the survivors faced physical and emotional scars that would last a lifetime.The killing was done to the innocent people, the refugees that were unarmed. 

The Cassinga Massacre remains a dark chapter in Namibia's history and a stark reminder of the human cost of armed conflict and oppression.

THE EARTH STRUCTURE

Image
 The Earth is composed of several layers with varying chemical compositions and physical properties. These layers are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. 1. Crust: The Earth's crust is the outermost layer and is relatively thin compared to the other layers. It is composed of solid rock and is broken into several large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid upper mantle. There are two types of crust: continental crust, which is thicker and less dense, and oceanic crust, which is thinner and denser. 2. Mantle: Beneath the crust lies the mantle, which is the thickest layer of the Earth. The mantle is composed of solid rock but can flow slowly over time due to high temperatures.  3. Outer Core: The outer core is a liquid layer composed primarily of iron and nickel. This layer surrounds the solid inner core and is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field through the motion of its molten metal. 4. Inner Core: At the center of the Earth lies the inner cor
