adjourned. district go based on the stories that i recall. my grandmother told me, and then when i started as an adult, i started learning more and learning more and ever since i have never rested. finally, this, you, the activism of people like shifter appears to be paid off in may, the german foreign minister. hi, co master made a ground breaking announcement, isn't it? it besides an oil to deny it, mister yet of it, sir. at st. us let's you give isn't, and folk, ahmad, if it can and stammered off susan's by his dollars and farm for them, and enlisted these a historic ocean aunt of morales should find for tom deutsche lance vivian ami bow and did not come. the oprah winfrey gave bone bitten a few months later, namibian germany announced a draft agreement which say both sides will bring closure to this dark chapter of history. if it goes the head,

germany will formally apologize to namibia and pay 1100000000 euros and compensation spread over 30 years. but for shifter and many other hero agreement is deeply problematic. in september, when the bill was presented to the namibian parliament, protest has travelled from near and far to oppose it. wow, it's a policeman march, but quite a very important march because it is raising a number of issues. rejecting the 1100000000. 1 term that the germans was to pay us the very same amount of money that the germans have already given to nom events for the last 31 years is the same on the under pay us shift as travel from the united states where he now lives to campaign against the agreement, he visits namibia, parliament, the site of the protest. it was built using forced labor of captured herrera with nom a genocide survivors. this is a very painful moment for me. ah,

standing on this ground as simply because this area there used to be a concentration camps where our ancestors were kept and were forced to work a slave labor. my grandmother used to tell me, told me about the generous head it began in luncheon or full of to 0 and nama rebelled against german colonists were aggressively seizing their land. in response, the head of the military administration. what was thin, german, south, west africa? general lots of on trotter should, in order to his troops, to exterminate all herrera men, women, and children after defeating the herrera. militarily, the germans heard the survivors eastward, into the indisputable on the hecky deserts, intent to kill him through hunger and thirst. the flight to the east and

how our people perish. and the disposition of their land. a dead disposition of their cattle and all those then they expire in the concentration camps. my grandmother's mother were captured by the germans and said to neutral shack, eileen, in consideration combed. and from there they work of slavery, but some of them died and the fuse it was survived. ah, basically that's where i am here today. but his grandfather's mother wasn't so lucky. my great grandmother was too old and tired to walk and she was left behind. they left her under 3 to die. and that's actually the story that really spoke. my interest is like how she died. a death with our dignity, my little vetted almost every a rare a person has a story like this to tell you that he knew. that's why jeff does documenting

a rarer opposition to the agreement. oh, he travels from the capital van took to oak hunter to meet the acting chief of the rear of the heroes were sent to these remote areas to serve as a us of labor poor for the white community. so white industrial, industrial as the present in the past. it's hard to distinguish, been as been particularly in these areas. oh, jeff, to meets fee, poorer, cool. currently, the acting chief of the over herero traditional authority, which represents most rarer namibia though the chief war is official, uniform in honor of the moments that are unworthy of good. on his 80 noah was bishop was out on remainder double that to go la globin. that in body with ya,

there was some new blood ha. when she did a urine for the wooded old ha, randi men that normally would. and he wanted to go over a 1000000 buddy. they would have a big country of wood. didn't you know who the other 2 little bah, hold on, lehman done, yolanda will they? um put us to repress collins, germany's chief negotiator. he says that under international law such negotiations can only take place between states. i not individual groups or there are many groups. so say unfortunately were been not part of the negotiations. and if i would start to count these groups, i come easily about 101520 groups who are complaining not to have been included. but august kapoor, after the holocaust, germany didn't only negotiate with the state of israel. it also negotiated directly

with many jewish groups on under orders. yeah, but i would of there when i would on a level media web later and i wanted yeah, that it won't. you know, which one mother the outcome says caputo is that the namibian government has failed to secure direct compensation for the rarer. instead the $1100000000.00 euros which germany plans to pay will be administered by the namibian government. and the im, when you go on the g yang drive you, he'd only, she could buy a new one on india. you were and a, maybe a year. what did you wound rogers you to do with the america? a drug? i've been in it and you know women, it not always all the month long now, but they don't ye. even on the 90 pilgrim run i will be none below you and i made it in the name. oh to come when did you get a little? the woman around fidela, she'd almost all another to let it a man woman for your won't go ganga. the once prosper sererow,

having lost the land and a much prized cattle after the genocide, now lived for the most part in abject poverty. shift visits vin vanny curry was one of many, a rarer, struggling to survive a making, ready cleaned it than the rang and aim when it was fully cooling. it is equally correct. wooten w. o. good audi deal, man. i got the sooner cobra sula. you'll get another to do full always. yeah. yes. it's under now. and when grady well i met in on my flannel yellow colony that faded away the window. oh there were we know you would only she knew me. we will own will be full. i know you may. she may have been as in the india cabinet dinner when i have again douglas, gullible myself, julia scully. i'd be deemed any i've been i seen that yet. i got a beer, ne kobe maddie to their dinner garden, as you know. see now when you're to one and or did of amendable maddie ramble. did

the moment been with what a guy lumber given that randall that who do not understand that you put that on? as you do is you don't have you go wrong. but we're nicki's inglewood, i'm getting very old. is he? he's and it's not only been a vain his generation, her suffering barring some kind of intervention. her children are unlikely to escape the cycle of poverty and making life even harder. the government has recently decreed. davis moved to an even more remote location. landed i. so i got iowa, moscow liquidity, mature mother by them that would been durable. that vehicle had up on that to have been dropped on dental lead in the mac, angelina, betty mccloud. i was calling me and by your scalia heat. this is too emotional for me. and what's going to happen them taking child flag far away and kids and that means the kids have to work another 2 hours to school. the kids have nothing to eat,

the gum in hasn't been in them. and it's not just in the villages the poverty amongst herrera was rife. it's the same in urban areas. shift travels to swap government, a picturesque coastal town, popular with german tourists. but on the outskirts of the town where people live in bleak, informal settlements. jeff, to means lawrence and drury and move from the country side to the city where you're not search of a better life. he has been here for 9 years now at this place, and there's a way his lives. no electricity, no running water. the all the kettle died abroad and so there is no work saw the best they can come is come here. tried to forest some food for me in the city, torrance, and fights shifter into his shack. 2010 a. are you still is

a hand with respect to the gentleman the say janet and yet it was that a genocide woman lawrence tells us to make ends meet. nice girlfriend must sell these genocide dolls, eating to german tourists before the can. i say i was more for in the concentration. what is it? the discontinuation come loose concentration. we had 2 teenagers, you know, 49 or 8. so what do you think about the germans today? cylinder t. they have to pay for the t to our grandma grandparent was that one is the one that take long in our life. 10 monies day is the only thing that can make changes. we can buy our lin beck's in our bow,

any measure. then we settled her family eggs roses. yeah, we live in that we are in a position can. was there like any he is not as good as these young people over here you see running in this is over here. they will have nothing to lose but to demand their land back. and that's exactly what's going to happen. this situation is unacceptable, and it's acceptable. the sense of economic and political, marginalization among the rarer, has heightened the mistrust of swapper, the ruling party in namibia since 1990. it's amplified the feeling that the government must handled the genocide negotiations with germany. we tried to put us to the namibian government. ready but to spite numerous requests, no government official granted us an interview. we did, however,

manage to speak to professor faneuil ca palmer, one of nearby as chief negotiators. he himself is a rarer my great grand mother, was a brother of samuel miley rule let. do i had a real people during the war of colonial resistance. the agreement ca, palmer told us was the best. the namibian government could achieve. given germany's tough negotiating tactics. they have always shaped away from even mentioning the word genocide. but the, the biggest challenge was her and went to which has remained very key issue to the point that he took almost deranged. then there is no difference to the word reparation wise germany allergic to the term reparations negotiations in our view have been for political and

moral reasons. there are, this was not a legal question. we avoided illegal speech to avoid this kind of misunderstanding. and reparation is illegal term and therefore we spoke about healing the wounds, which means in a sense, probably the same but not in a legal term, but says palmer, the negotiations were less about healing wounds than they were about avoiding legal liability. what was a very heavy debate later on, they came around and said to that, okay, if we agree to pay the partition, then we will do our we with development it and we said no, those are 2 different things for their victim. community is good reason why germany is keen to avoid any payments being labeled as reparations says, heading melba and m a. be an academic, an activist. there were war crimes during world war 2 committed in italy,

increase in poland. and in other eastern european societies, we are local courts there, ruled that the german government should pay reparations to the descendants. germany's refused to accept liability for such claims. but says melba, if reparations were paid to namibia, that might sit a legal precedent, then these rulings would be seen in another light. and then it would become a really expensive for germany. so with direct reparation seeming the off the table, what about the rear? a demand that i should get the land or at least some of it returned to them. but any discussion about the return of land must involve its current owners, mostly what number be and farmers who possess vast tracts of it. gift visits,

heard, vall, billing a german namibian who speaks fluent to rarer, got up with you. he owns a 15000 hectic farm and the water burg region which used to be inhabited by the rarer until the germans began the campaign of annihilation against them in 19 o. 4 miguel yoga. my great great grandfather came here in 19 o 7, which was just after the german air rule and farming here and living in close relationship with the wire communities bordering to all offends. and it's very much a farming related. but of course, it brings together our different cultures as well. but when it comes to addressing the past, vol bling, like other white german namibian farmers in the region denied that this land used to belong to the rarer this land was a 100 years before that. it was it not inhabited by wire is

speaking people to the knowledge. i do have well touring the farm shift to raises the land issue. i don't think it just buying land and given a given it back will, will improve the situation dramatically. i, i doubt that when i think we have to develop the area, we have to develop that people in investing in a better tomorrow, like education and interest structure, schools and hospitals. that people really feel that their life is improving. shifter also wants to know if they can reach a common understanding about the past. do you deny that there was a genocide or you don't deny it? i mean, you, i, i don't question the harm which was done to, oh, i had a people how they lost many of their land. they lost almost all the kettle and i most half let say half of the population yet, his vol bling,

he doesn't believe the mass murder of herrera was sanctioned by the government of the time. if there would have been the initial thought of eradicating a certain tribe, but that was not an intention and the relationship to the holocaust is, is for me it is half wretched. but tift is next visit, illustrates that for many a rarer historical links between the genocide and the holocaust on far fetched at all. he travels to shock island, which used to be a notorious concentration camp guerrero. nama who survived death in the desert approach. yeah, and used to slave labor. this said is where our ancestors were kept. and the germans said up, this goes the duration chem and the use call historians, florida. the desk him my great grandmother was

at this site, and likely she later when the people that had complaining the she was frustrated to sort of mood. but most ferrero nama were held here, didn't survive. a lot of lot of people. perry's death and starvation was what killed a lot of people over here in the when they die, their body were thrown in the sea and those went worked to death, was subjected to the horrors. and this is where they did their medical experiment on the now my inherit people medical expense based on my grandmother. they were fascinated with her. some of them of her pupil, we have like a black. the gums are like dahlgren palace, so there was great that is great that until it bleeds to find out what is the cause of that? i don't know what was the whole point, but the bottom line is this was their biggest fear was to go to that medical

center. they knew that well, you go there, you are not going to be alone. in that medical center, prisoners were subjected to many forms of systematic abuse, but being injected with diseases such a small pox, typhus, and tuberculosis of poisons like arsenic. they were also used as human material for you genic research. in order to conduct the pseudo scientific research, german doctor sent the skulls of the seas, prisoners back to germany. aiming to scientifically prove the racial inferiority of africans, so essence of human remains, scalds skeletons. and so on, when transported back to the german empire, those human remains awe in sherman basements of museums of hospitals, and only in 2011. i think for the 1st time

a few of them were returned to namibia, the man overseeing these inhumane practices. but she, genesis dr. eugene fisher. he and other colonial officials later became prominent leading figures in the wraith ideology of nazi germany, businesses our shores. but unlike germany's ash fits this no official recognition of shock island of the crimes which were perpetrated here. there is no mention about the head arrows at all. it's not a can being said, so we'll show a lot of germans. they come here and camp and the movie as they come in camp as if this is just a normal place to where to now the rarer and the struggles for justice and reparations. what do you say to german americans? he said there wasn't a genocide here. that's not fair. what do i say to them?

nothing. we are going to get our land back and how we're going to take it. i don't know. but we, our i'm said in just the way i was said in that when did gemini, will be willing to apologize probably just the way or sit in the germany one day will pay reparation. even though they are saying we are going to give you like a, just a or development and it just, this will happen. who harold, people are resilient people from what we have gone through, what mad people have gone through from jenna said, disposition concentrates income. and for my father and my great grandparents to regain i'm new to reconstitute themself and send me to school and they walk straight. they do more with their head down. and so that's the way i'm going to work. i'll walk straight as my head up.

ah. i less than a year. how will host the middle east 1st? well come in preparation. the country is staging. a major problem. 16 nations going head to head in thanks purpose bill stadiums for 2022 will keep you across the action as katzoff repairs for the regions biggest ever sporting events that be for our cup on algebra. step beyond the comfort zone were assumptions or challenge. travel to the ends of the earth and further experience the unimaginable of the people who live it. this is probably the most

extreme situation i've been involved in how quickly things contract award winning documentaries. the also perception witness on a just sierra. this is a region that is rapidly developing, but it's one also that is afflicted by conflict, political upheavals, some of those we talk to elsewhere as saying that they fled after hearing that other villages had been attacked. what we do in al jazeera is try to balance the stories, the good, the bad, the ugly, tell it as it was, and leave the people who allow was into their lives, dignity, and humanity asked me to tell their story. in the next episode of fries nick kong joined to greenpeace crew on a voyage through the widow sea to highlight the importance of protecting this fragile antarctic ecosystem against an expanding list of manmade threats. beneath
