The consequences of the Middle East crisis grow dramatically worse with each passing hour. The curtailment of navigational rights & freedoms in the area of the Strait of Hormuz disrupts energy, transport, manufacturing & food markets & strangles the global economy Now is the time for dialogue, for solutions that pull us back from the brink & for measures that can open a pathway to peace.

All freedom depends on press freedom. Without it, there can be no human rights, no sustainable development & no peace. On this World Press Freedom Day, let's protect the rights of journalists & build a world where the truth & the truth-tellers are safe.

Message by H.E. Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, President of the Republic of Namibia on World Press Freedom Day, 3 May 2026 On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day 2026, I join the global community in reaffirming the fundamental importance of a free, independent, and responsible media. Namibia continues to stand as a beacon of press freedom on the African continent and globally, consistently ranking among the top countries in international press freedom indices. Today, we are ranked 23rd worldwide and 2nd on the African continent. This is not merely a measure of performance, but a reflection of our national character and our enduring commitment to democratic values, transparency, and the rule of law. This standing carries with it a responsibility. It calls on all of us, Government, media, and citizens alike, to safeguard and strengthen this hard-earned reputation, and to ensure that Namibia remains a safe, open, and credible space for the free exchange of ideas, which is essential for human rights, sustainable development, and national stability. We mark this day at a time when the global landscape is increasingly complex and uncertain. Across regions, we are witnessing rising geopolitical tensions, the spread of misinformation and disinformation, and growing pressure on media institutions. In such an environment, the role of a free and responsible press becomes even more critical, not only in informing the public, but in preserving truth, promoting dialogue, and preventing the erosion of trust within societies. This achievement reflects our collective commitment to upholding the values enshrined in our Constitution, including freedom of expression, access to information, and the right of the media to operate without undue interference. A vibrant and professional media plays a critical role in strengthening democracy, promoting transparency, and holding institutions accountable. In Namibia, the media has contributed meaningfully to national dialogue, development, and unity, while giving voice to diverse perspectives across our society. I commend all journalists, editors, and media practitioners for their dedication, courage, and integrity in informing the nation. I further encourage continued adherence to ethical journalism, accuracy, and fairness in reporting, especially in an evolving digital landscape. As we mark this important day under the theme, “Shaping a Future at Peace: Promoting Press Freedom for Human Rights, Development, and Security,” I am reminded that press freedom is not merely a media issue, but a democratic imperative. It is central to the protection of human rights, the advancement of development, and the preservation of peace and security in our societies. A free and responsible press enables citizens to make informed decisions, exposes injustice, and fosters accountability across all sectors. In doing so, it strengthens the social contract between the State and its people, while contributing to a more just, peaceful, and resilient nation. I reaffirm Namibia’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding press freedom, while encouraging the media fraternity to exercise this freedom with responsibility, professionalism, and a deep sense of duty to the nation.

The longer the Strait of Hormuz is choked, the higher the cost to humanity. My message is clear: Open the Strait. Let all ships pass. Let the global economy breathe again.

Global shocks are not abstract. They ripple into households in Namibia through rising prices and pressure on livelihoods. We need inclusive, people-centred responses that protect the vulnerable, build resilience and ensure sustainable outcomes. #SDDS2026 #LeaveNoOneBehind #SDGs
