Namibia also got independence with the help by our former president Martti
Ahtisaari, who was in the year 2008 awarded with Nobel peace price.

The real story of Namibia and Finland goes even further than the Finnish
Foreign Ministry sponsored politically correct article linked to does.
In 1918 professor Gustaf Kompa proposed that Ovamboland, the northern
part of South-West Africa would be officially made a colony of the newly
independent Kingdom of Finland as Germany lacked interest in that part
of SW Africa. For some odd reason all things german soon became highly
unpopular. The king-elect of Finland, Prince Friedrich Karl Ludwig
Konstantin von Hessen-Kassel, nominally the King of Finland for a couple
of months, never came to Finland and the whole kingdom business was
quietly forgotten. Finland was turned into a presidential republic and
dreams of a Finnish colony were forgotten as well. The whole colony idea
never proceeded beyond the Ministry of Foreign Affaires in Helsinki.
A less known "colony" episode took place in 1942. V�in� Auer, again a
professor, had talks in the Ausw�rtiges Amt (German foreign office) in
Berlin on possible colonies for "friends" of Germany. The then Belgian
Congo was being sliced at least on paper for Germany et co, and Finland
would have been one of the European countries to get part of it as a
colony. In addition as professor Auer was a specialist on Patagonia he
was offered a job as a founder of German u-boat base in Tierra del
Fuego. Soon the tide turned and all things german again became highly
unpopular. After this episode described in professor Auer's memoirs
Finns have given up all ideas of overseas colonies for good.

The Finnish Lutheran Church had been doing missionary work and conducting
anthropological research in Ovamboland since the 1870s. For details, see
e.g. Matti Kuusi, 1970, *Ovambo proverbs: with African parallels*.
-"- 1974, *Ovambo riddles: with comments and vocabularies*.
