Osire is a refugee camp in central Namibia, situated 200 km north of the capital Windhoek next to the main road from Gobabis to Otjiwarongo.

El 2008 la majoria (75%) dels refugiats encara residents procedien d'Angola, i una part considerable de la República Democràtica del Congo. L'Alt Comissionat de les Nacions Unides per als Refugiats considera el camp com un dels millors gestionats del món, ja que hi havia una escola d'ensenyament primari, una de secundari i fins i tot una comissaria de policia i una clínica. El camp havia estat usat com a centre de detenció durant el domini de Sud-àfrica sobre el territori de Namíbia. Al llarg de la seva existència com a camp de refugiats s'havia informat del maltractament dels seus habitants, represàlies, assetjament i aldarulls. En 2009 un grup de 41 persones van fugir del camp amb l'ajuda d'una organització local de drets humans després d'haver rebut suposadament amenaces de mort. Aquest grup va sortir de Namíbia a través del lloc fronterer de però li van negar l'entrada a Botswana i com a resultat va quedar en terra de ningú entre Namíbia i Botswana durant tres mesos fins que foren arrestats pers les autoritats de Botswana i deportats a la República Democràtica del Congo.

  • Das Flüchtlingslager Osire (offiziell englisch Osire Refugee Settlement) ist ein 1992 eingerichtetes Flüchtlingslager in der Region Otjozondjupa im zentralen Norden Namibias unweit der Hauptstraße C30. Es gilt laut UNHCR als eines der am besten organisierten Flüchtlingslager weltweit. Die Flüchtlinge im Lager kommen vor allem aus Angola, Burundi, Somalia, Ruanda und der Demokratischen Republik Kongo. Im Oktober 2017 lebten dort etwa 3988 Menschen. 1998 lag die Zahl der Flüchtlinge bei 20.000, ehe sie seitdem bis 2010 auf etwa 6500 abnahm. Alle angolanischen Flüchtlinge wurden bereits zurückgeführt. Die Schließung des Lagers ist geplant. Mit Stand Juni 2019 wird die Zahl der Lagerbewohner mit 5665 angegeben. (de)

In 2008 the majority (75%) of refugees still resident here came from Angola, and a sizeable portion from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. UNHCR regards the camp as one of the best managed in the world, due to its provisioning of formal school education, both primary and secondary. The settlement further has a police station and a clinic. The camp used to be a detention centre during the South African rule over Namibian territory. Throughout its existence as refugee camp maltreatment of inhabitants, retaliation, harassment and riots have been reported. In 2009 a group of 41 people fled the camp with the help of a local Human Rights organisation after allegedly having received death threats. This group left Namibia via the Border Post but was refused entry to Botswana and as a result stayed in No Man's Land between Namibia and Botswana for three months until being arrested by Botswana authorities and deported to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
