'We want trillions to heal our wounds
2021-08-07
[BBC] In between the blue water of the Atlantic Ocean and the luscious golden dunes of the Namibian coast are the grounds of a former German concentration camp.

It was here at the start of the 20th Century where the Ovaherero and Nama people were subjected to sexual violence, forced labour and gruesome medical experiences. Many died of disease and exhaustion.

Uahimisa Kaapehi says his heart is heavy standing on the remains of his ancestors.

He is an ethnic Ovaherero descendent who is also a town councillor in the city of Swakopmund, where many of the atrocities took place.

Mr Kaapehi explains what happened generations ago still has a profound impact on his livelihood.

"Our wealth was taken, the farms, the cattle, everything, I was not supposed to suffer this as I'm talking," he says.

"And we - as the Ovaherero and Nama - are not supposed to be suffering."

#8  I seem to recall that Germany agreed to pay off the claim of another African group for similar behaviour recently, making this a proven tactic.

Sue Hindenburg ☺
OH! that's right there has been 3 different cultures/Political systems and 2 world Worlds since this happened. Hey if Hindenburg isn't available for Lawsuit try Hitler.☻

After what 30 years of SWAPO Communist Socialism tribal style rule, it still has the same problems.

So the problem is internal not external.

#1  Shocking! The Germans departed Namibia over 100 years ago. I thought your communist experiment was going to fix all of that evil colonialism ?

I am delighted to see that you and your staff are eating well.
