Here's more info on the Genocide
The Herero and Nama genocide was a campaign of racial extermination and collective punishment that the German Empireundertook in German South West Africa (now Namibia) against the Ovaherero and the Nama. It is considered the first genocide of the 20th century.[1][2][3] It took place between 1904 and 1908.

In January 1904, the Herero people, led by Samuel Maharero and Nama led by Captain Hendrik Witbooi, rebelled against German colonial rule. In August, German General Lothar von Trotha defeated the Ovaherero in the Battle of Waterberg and drove them into the desert of Omaheke, where most of them died of dehydration. In October, the Nama people also rebelled against the Germans, only to suffer a similar fate.

Between 24,000 and 100,000 Hereros and 10,000 Namas died.[4][5][6][page needed][7][8][9][page needed][10] The first phase of the genocide was characterized by widespread death from starvation and dehydration due to the prevention of the retreating Herero from leaving the Namib Desert by German forces. Once defeated, thousands of Hereros and Namas were imprisoned in concentration camps, where the majority died of diseases, abuse, and exhaustion.[11][page needed][12][page needed]

In 1985, the United Nations' Whitaker Reportclassified the aftermath as an attempt to exterminate the Herero and Nama peoples of South West Africa, and therefore one of the earliest attempts at genocide in the 20th century. In 2004, the German government recognized and apologized for the events, but ruled out financial compensation for the victims' descendants.[13] In July 2015, the German government and the speaker of the Bundestag officially called the events a "genocide" and "part of a race war". However, it has refused to consider reparations.[14][15]

This is great. The Germans actually tested out techniques on the Namaqua and Herero that they ended up using on Jews. It is time they atone But the Germans have already said they won’t pay anything.

Next thing is getting Belgium to pay reparations for the Congo Free State Genocide.

Africa, center of the world.
OP It's Namibia, not South Africa breh.. The cacs titled it as South African instead of Southern African. Also noticed the cacs referring to it as an ''alleged'' genocide when there's nothing alleged about the fact that they carried out a genocide on the native population. Would the say the holocaust was an ''alleged'' genocide too?

yes.....if you don't fully agree about whatever jews are saying about the holocaust....you get labeled a holocaust denier

and even black people on the coli will go after you..............the same Black folks that are conspicuously quiet when Black folks are making negative comments about other Black folks.

The Germans a couple years ago when asked about their genocide in Namibia, and restitutions and such claimed they now take care of Namibians so no need to pay up..This is the general problem we face as a people, no one who has wronged us feels the need to pay. I say, kick the remaining cacs out of Namibia and take the case to the same courts used by jews to deal with the Germans. Tired of this shyt.

We need to take ourselves seriously, before we expect others too. Namibians are in the same situation South Africans are in, in terms of land ownership. When we break away from whites and become autonomous, then we can call the shots. But for now, they don’t care and they don’t take us seriously.
