  1. »#Namibia marks colonial genocide for first time with memorial day«

    Dubbed "#Germany's forgotten #genocide", and described by historians as the first genocide of the 20th Century, the systematic murder of more than 70,000 Africans is being marked with a national day of remembrance for the first time in Namibia.

    »The victims, primarily from the #Ovaherero and #Nama communities, were targeted because they refused to let the colonisers take their land and cattle.«
