Protests have been called in Namibia to demand more compensation for the Namibian genocide.

Protesters are marching towards parliament where parliamentarians are due to meet to hold a session to debate the German

government’s compensation proposal amidst public opposition to the German proposal.

Former colonial power Germany earlier this year conceded it had presided over a genocide in the country between 1904 and 1908 and agreed to contribute $1.3 billion to existing aid programmes.

Many locals say that’s not enough and they want reparations.

Tens of thousands of men, women, and children were shot, tortured, or driven into the Kalahari desert to starve by German troops after the Herero and Nama tribes rebelled against colonial rule.
