Namibians mark 121st anniversary of genocide of Ovaherero and Nama communities by Germans

In Namibia, members of the traditional Ovaherero community have marched through the capital city of Windhoek to mark the 121st anniversary of their genocide at the hands of German colonial rulers.

Demonstrators are demanding greater accountability from Germany for the 1904 genocide, which is estimated to have killed more than 70 thousand members of the Ovaherero and Nama communities. In 2021, Germany agreed to pay more than a billion euros in reparations to Namibia, to be delivered in installments.
