The Story About NAMIBIA 🇳🇦!

In the early Namibian history of the 19th century, German settlers and soldiers began to arrive in Namibia, which they formally  called German South West Africa. 

They occupied the land from ethnic groups like the Herero and Nama  who settled here peacefully, they made it law for Herero people not to own cattle, effectively cutting their way of life.

For a traditionally nomadic people like the Herero, their cattle is a source of wealth and health,  this is why it angered them when their land and cattles was taken from them.

In 1904, the Herero began to fight back, and the Germans responded savagely. In what historians now consider one of the very first Genocide and Holocaust of its century in Africa. 

German emperor Kaizer Willem II issued an "extermination order."  which ment that German soldiers unwillingly left OvaHerero people into the desert, poisoned wells and confined to concentration camps.  What happened with the OvaHerero  people later spread  across the country amongst  the Nama people. Some 100,000 Herero died and 10 000 of Nama people mostly succumbed of starvation, dehydration and disease, reducing one of the region's main ethnic groups to a population in the low tens of thousands. During the violence, many fled the country as the rebellion turned into full scale war.
