For justice for the last six decades germany has compensated for its historical role in the holocaust Stop Wild War to paying autumn is to made it Seventy Billion Dollars to
survive is now in namibia the head addle and number of people have been fighting for recognition of the extermination of their insistence by the German Government its been to the first genocide of the Twentieth Century well tell you about a recent upset they stuffed it into a suit for compensation in a while that was in a course in new york but first this report. Krista conduced family lives in poverty and she says thats been the case since the war with the germans One Hundred Thirteen years ago although her family does own some land in eastern and maybe its nothing more than a few Sheet Metal Huts in the middle of the Plains Krista says the plot of land is too barren to grow crops. Her real home lies Three Hundred kilometers west of here where she says her family used to own a farm on fertile land until the germans expelled them from it. Christa has
a photograph of her grandfather he had lived on the old farmstead back then as a small boy with his mother. Wore a u. When the german soldiers attacked our property my grandfather and his mother fed his mother starve to death during that escape he was captured and put into a labor camp later he was able to escape and return home but by then our land belonged to a german so my father started to work for him and tended the cars that had been taken away from us. Krista is not alone every year thousands of herero and nama people commemorate what they call the genocide committed by the germans. Imperial german soldiers allegedly poisoned this water source used by the herero since then the locals call it the well of the deadly stomach pain or who are murderers what this man says theyve come to speak to their ancestors. Theres another reason why theyre doing it here this is where a german general gave the order to expel the herero from their land and drive them
into the desert. Christine has also come like the other women and she wears the traditional Headdress Symbolizing cow horns. The men are wearing uniforms in the style of the German Imperial soldiers. What they want from germany is an official apology and reparations. I mean i do not believe that we are herrera will ever receive any money from germany though there are negotiations taking place with germany those negotiations are not with us directly but with the maybe in government which is dominated by other tribes who will keep the money for themselves. Kenneth mccallion is the noya representing a group of hate it all and im a people whose whole sit against germany was recently dismissed by of course in the us he joins me now from new york welcome to mr mckay and the German Government
is dealing directly with the namibian government over this issue under what context are you representing a faction of ferrero and then the people that you that youre representing. Well i was retained by the herero and on the other traditional associations as well as on a worldwide basis association of over herero and nama in the United States as well as groups and botswana and south africa and elsewhere. And what i what i was trying to establish is why they need to go all legal aid when there is a process happening between the two governments. Well the traditional associations of the Herrera Naaman Feel that theyve been excluded from the negotiations the herero and the nama were the. Really
the selected and targeted terms of the genocide in the early Twentieth Century and they have their own organizations they have their own representation right and they feel that they should have a seat at the table in the negotiations right ok so were talking about a recent blow that was dealt to your clients and that was that new all court throwing out or dismissing the case why was that. The federal court in a word felt that it was not appropriate jurors stiction for federal courts in the us were of course appealing that and are expecting to have that reversed in the Court Of Appeals but theres really no dispute on the underlying factual issue which is that there is substantial evidence of the genesis. The taking of property and in fact that some of the fruits of the genesis for example stalls
of her herero and are in various museums including museums here in new york all right the German Government claims that namibia is one of the oh is the recipient off one of the highest amounts of their aid money ad recently weve heard the German Government talking about further investing in areas in which their own people and not the people and they have is that in itself not a form of compensation. Not really foreign it is it is great im sure its fun for namibia in general but traditionally foreign aid and resources have not gone to the traditional herero in the areas and the herero unama many of them who are driven out of namibia are in botswana south africa the u. S. And elsewhere obviously they would not be receiving any benefit right but also question to you is what are the next what is the next and what havent you for your
clients. We filed in the u. S. The Second Circuit Court Of Appeals and we are briefing that and we hope to get a reversal of that but in addition we have claims and petitions pending in at least two u. N. Committees at this particular point and were pursuing the cause for Restorative Justice in compensation for there are a number were pursuing that really in as many forms as possible but we expect to have the Court Of Appeals reverse it in the u. S. Ok well be watching that Kenneth Mccallum is the neuer representative grip of head at all and them of people coming to us from new york thank you thank you very much.
