 Judgement in the resulting trial, known as the "Caprivi treason trial" was heavily delayed, and prisoners were only acquitted in 2012, a situation that Amnesty International repeatedly complained about.On 7 October 2002, the Itengese nation severed all ties with Namibia and declared the independent, sovereign Free State of Caprivi Strip/Itenge their national homeland.This nation is not recognised by any other government, though, least of all Namibia.
