TNamibia’s Adolf Hitler (Uunona) Wins Again
“My name is not Adolf Hitler. I am Adolf Uunona.”
Namibian politician Adolf Hitler recently won a fifth term—and has finally dropped “Hitler” from his official name. Sensible enough: removing a live grenade from the campaign logo is generally considered good political hygiene.
Formerly listed as Adolf Hitler, he is now simply Adolf Uunona. His ambitions, one assumes, are less imperial than municipal: roads, clinics, drainage, and the eternal bureaucratic blood sport of getting a pothole repaired before it evolves into a freshwater lake.
Uunona has repeatedly rejected any connection to Nazi ideology. Fair enough. But it does leave one small question: how exactly did he win the previous four elections while campaigning under the name Adolf Hitler—and a fifth before the paperwork caught up?
His explanation is that the name simply reflects Namibia’s German colonial past, not Nazism.
