âââ 09:52 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 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.
