When #Namibia Stands Up to #Germany: How Gaza Revolutionized the Global South (Dr. Ramzy Baroud | Counter Currents, 2024-04-18)
... beside Nicaragua, South Africa & al.
"Since the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, Namibia answered the call of solidarity with the Palestinians, along with many African and South American countries..."
"The Nicaraguan case accuses Germany of violating the ‘Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide’. It rightly sees Germany as a partner in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians."
"The horrific crime of the Holocaust, and other mass killings carried out by the German government... during WWII, is a continuation of other German crimes committed against Africans, decades earlier."

"Since the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, Namibia answered the call of solidarity with the Palestinians, along with many African and South American countries..."
"So when Namibia took a strong stance against Israel’s largest military supporter in Europe – Germany – it did so based on Namibia’s total awareness of its history."

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."
