The president of Namibia, Hage Geingob, taking a strong, fantastic lead in speaking out against "Germany's inability to learn from its horrific history".
@pvonhellermannn President Geingob of #Namibia could not have stated it more succinctly and clearly - thank you so much for posting this, Pauline! " #German colonisers massacred more than 70,000 #Herero and #Nama people between 1904 and 1908. Historians consider this to be the 20th Century's first #genocide.
President Geingob said Germany could not "morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia" and at the same time support #Israel.
"The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil" he added."
