Germany officially recognises its colonial genocide in Namibia Charlene Rodrigues © Provided by The Independent Germany agreed an accord with Namibia on Friday to officially recognise the colonial-era killing of tens of thousands of people in the African country as genocide. The agreement is the result of more than five years of talks relating to events at the beginning of the 20th century, when Germany was the southern African nation’s colonial ruler. Germany plans to support Namibia and the descendants of the victims with a 1.1bn euro “rebuilding and development” programme. The projects will stretch over a 30-year period and will cover land reform, including land purchases, agriculture, rural infrastructure, water supply and vocational training.
