Botswana is landlocked in southern Africa and its terrain is dominated by the Kalahari desert. Africa’s longest continuous multi-party democracy, the State is among the continent’s most politically stable. Botswana has been widely criticised for its retention of the death penalty for adults and the legality of life imprisonment and flogging as criminal sentences for children.
