Namibia s government came under fire from lawmakers Tuesday for its 1.1-billion-euro settlement with Germany, under which Berlin officially acknowledged an early 20th century genocide by colonial troops.
Opposition MPs took turns to trash the $1.3-billion deal, accusing the government of sidelining them and the communities directly affected by the genocide during negotiations that reached agreement last month.
Edson Isaacks from the opposition Landless People s Movement Namibia (LPM), equated the dealmaking process to apartheid and called the result a substandard agreement . They have excluded communities, groups of Namibians. that is apartheid that government has practised, Isaacks said during a rowdy session in parliament.
