Germany to Pay Namibia Reparations, Apologise for Genocide
21 MAY, 2021 - 00:05
WINDHOEK. – Germany will pay reparations to Namibia for what has been described as the first genocide of the 20th century, in which about 75 000 people died.
The former colonial power is expected to provide compensation by funding social projects benefiting the descendants of the survivors, according to German public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk.
The two countries have agreed that German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier will offer a formal apology in the Namibian parliament, The Times reported on Wednesday. Windhoek’s special envoy on the Nama-Herero genocide, Zed Ngavirue, said there had been “fruitful discussions with the German government” but would not confirm an agreement, The Namibian reported.
“I cannot reveal any information yet without informing my principals, the President [Hage Geingob] and the Minister of international relations [Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah],” Ngavirue was quoted as saying.
In 1904, German imperial forces ended an uprising by the native Herero people and drove survivors into the desert, where thousands died of starvation or dehydration.
Over the next four years, half of the Herero and Namaqua people imprisoned in concentration camps died of disease, malnourishment, overwork, beatings and executions.
By 1908, the Herero population had fallen from 80 000 to about 15 000 and the Namaqua population had been halved to 10 000.The Ovaherero Traditional Authority and the Nama Traditional Leaders Association said they felt betrayed by the agreement. – TimesLive.
