Namibia’s parliament is due to resume and vote on the compensation offer from Germany in atonement for its 1904-1908 genocide against the Herero and Nama people.

The session was adjourned on September 23 after a heated debate.

Around 300 protesters stormed Namibia’s parliament on September 21.

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.
