METUSALEM NEIB WRITES:
The Cross–Cultural Trust of Namibia (CCTN) showed the close correlation between the most direct victims of genocide, the San people and Damara ethnicities, and the Herero and Nama tribes as direct victims of genocide.
Most direct victims of the genocide ancient tribes request bilateral discussions between the German and Namibia governments through special envoys Mr. Ruprecht Polenz as well as Dr. Zed Ngavirue to consider the issues underlying these massacres.
It is only because of these massacres that members of these ethnic groups and clans can claim reparations. We further demand that the above–mentioned authorities and officials kindly assist us to file claim for compensation against the warlords of the Herero, Nama and the Germans who collectively exercised a reign of terror and brutal murder during historic times.
It is very difficult for tribes involved in the genocide to see things the same. It is a competitive process in which the different ways in which parties seek reparations are as follows: The Damara and San genocide during the establishment of German protectorate in 1884 to 1903, the Herero and Nama outright massacred one third of the Damara who had not joined in the uprising of the Herero and Nama, the Herero and Nama genocide of 1904 to 1908 and the San people's genocide from 1912 to 1915.
Many young San and Damara men were used by leaders of the Herero and Nama as foot soldiers and were horribly killed in the Herero and Nama genocide of 1904 tot 1908. The Damara evolved alongside the Nama.
The final battle was fought at the Waterberg Plateau in August 1904 and the country saw the deaths of thousands due to hunger and starvation.
In the book Hiding in Full View: The "Forgotten" Bushmen Genocides of Namibia, Robert J. Gordon examines the Bushmen genocide of 1912 to 1915, which despite overwhelming evidence of it having occurred, has been largely ignored by both scholars and the local populations. Emile Durkheim's distinction between necessary and sufficient conditions, first made in the classics study on suicide, is useful in examining this genocide.
Until at least the mid-1980s, the German military graveyards at the Waterberg contained a gravestone in remembrance of the Herero and Damara soldiers who fought alongside the Germans in the battle at Hamakari and the war as a whole.
In her blog called "Report: The Genocide of the German-Herero War", Kara Allen states that Herero and Nama were killed, and one third of the Damara.
William D. Rubinstein in an article in the California Law Review, "Redressing Colonial Genocide under International Law: The Herero's Cause of Action against Germany" discuss effects on the Herero nations. He refers to amongst others Dreschler and Jan–Bart Gewald and states the Damara could sue the German governments for their slaughter during the German–Herero War.
The fate of the most suffered ethnicities of that time is rooted in historical factors from 1884 to 1915 during the German rule and colonialism.
The Cross–Cultural Trust of Namibia (CCTN) and traditional authority's representatives of the San and Damara tribes are ready to take part in these discussions and must be involved.
