Before daybreak the next day, the residents in Walvis Bay heard a rushed bark of military orders coming from outside the window. It was then accompanied by a large amount of vehicle engine sounds.

Numerous cars whooshed past the windows of the residents' houses one after another. The town was soon enveloped in a thick cloud of suffocating haze.

Many people were taken by shock. They thought it was the uprising of a rebel faction in Namibia or that it was the initial spark to a war.

Many people nervously gazed out their windows to see hundreds of armed soldiers lining up on Walvis Bay. Many military jeeps were parked together in a row and appeared to be inspected by the leaders.

The residents managed a sigh of relief when they noticed that the soldiers were not currently on a state of alert.
