2 October marks the anniversary of one of the “extermination orders” in Germany’s colonial genocide against the Indigenous Ovaherero and Nama peoples in Namibia. More than a century since the extermination orders, the effects of the genocide continue to be experienced by Ovaherero and Nama communities. Despite decades of demands for reparatory justice by the Ovaherero and Nama, Germany has consistently refused to engage in meaningful consultations with the affected descendants or to provide reparations. Amnesty International calls on Germany to fully acknowledge its legal responsibility for the genocide and other colonial crimes it committed in Namibia and provide reparations.
