Fun Germany Fact! It took Germany over one hundred years til 2021 to recognize the genocide of the Herero and Namaqua people at the start of the 20th century.

The reason of course was the monetarily compensation obligations.

"The agreement was criticized by the chairman of the Namibian Genocide Association, Laidlaw Peringanda, who insisted that Germany should purchase their ancestral lands back from the descendants of the German settlers and return it to the Herero and Nama people. The agreement was also criticized because negotiations were held solely between the German and Namibian governments, and did not include representatives of the Herero and Nama people."
