a 2nd the russian could be kept as profit. ah l m. terry margin good to happy with this. it has taken nearly 6 years of talks, but today germany is for the 1st time acknowledging that it committed genocide during its colonial rule in what is now namibia. in southern africa, german troops massacred tens of thousands of herrera and number of people between 190-4900, no 8. now more than a 100 years later, it has reached a deal with the government of namibia on how to atone the atrocities. this small plaque in berlin's no can district remains the only visible memorial in germany of the violence committed in the media. now, foreign minister, high co mass has announced germany will finally recognize the atrocities as

genocide. 1.1000000000 euros will be given to support development in namibia focused on herrera nama communities. between 19041908 german imperial forces, and what was then known as german south. west africa violently suppressed uprisings by the nama and herrera ethnic groups, and forced them into the, does it tens of thousands of herrera and nama was shot, starved, and tortured to death by german troops. it is estimated that 3 quarters of the herrera and half of the nama people were wiped out. it took an entire century for a german politician to even recognize it happened. i asked you to give us our trespass. precipices and our guilt. but the german government of the time, back peddled, saying the minister had spoken as a private pass and herero nama groups, have consistently demanded an official apology and financial reparations from the

german government. for what historians consider the 20th century is 1st genocide. germany has insisted on negotiating a reconciliation deal with the namibian government, not the victims descendant germany is just beginning to reckon with its colonial pass. this reconciliation deal is one step in that direction. and for more to join by our political correspondent in man was, shows him a german officials have been negotiating with namibia and the herrera and nama peoples for years. how did they finally reached this deal? while the time the german government has actually neglect isn't? and then the median government, instead of negotiating directly with their communities impact aid, which is one of the facts we so end up with. it has been a long time in the making more than 5 years. 6 years of negotiations and these

highly symbolic gesture today with 4, i mean it's a high command saying that gemini, acknowledge the genocide and we refer to such as of now this has been more than a century for more than a century. it had been subjected to debate here in germany. and of course today this is highly significant. germany off for forgiveness to the media for the crimes committed doing its colonial rule. in addition to recognizing its colonial era crimes, as genocide, germany is also put together is also put together financial aid package for namibia and for the river. and now people tell us more about that. well, this has long been a bone of contention in those negotiations because germany refuses to, to give compensation, which is why what the herero and my community were asking for. instead,

gemini pledges to commit to badge at 1100000000 years, but that's about $1340000000.00 in order to support the media financially and to support development of the herrera and communities. however, the representative of the traditional hero and nama communities would have liked germany to significantly, you know, agreed to give compensation, you know, in a way to atone for the past. so even if that's a forward between the relation between germany and the media, this still some work to do, i've asked for a tenant with regards to the communities directly. impacted of course, is much more to germany's colonial legacy there. collections of looted art and even body parts in german museums from africa. how is all that being dealt with?

well, that's a very little known fact here, at least in germany and in europe, is a tens of thousands of body parts and those coast to remain in the basement of museum. the libraries of universities here, and descendants of the heroine. now my community is also off for the return of those looted body parts, so they can give proper burials to their ancestors and dust is something that remains to be addressed by the german government and such as such is also the return of newton art or political corresponding mental shines. thank you very much . now, to the democratic republic of congo or tens of thousands of people are leaving the city of goma authorities or warning that a nearby volcano could erupt again at any time. mountain near a gun go is in the east. close to the border with rwanda lava almost reached
