2004-AUG-14: Germany apologizes for Namibian genocide:
The German government formally apologized for what is regarded as the
first genocide of the 20th century. In 1904, Herero warriors were angered at
the German settlers who had enslaved their people, lynched their men, and
stolen their land, cattle and women. On JAN-12, they massacred about 200
German civilians. Although the uprising ended later that year, the German
army continued to exterminate the Hereros until 1907, resulting in the
deaths of perhaps 65,000 persons. German Development Aid Minister Heidemarie
Wieczorek-Zeul finally gave the Hereros what they have been asking for
repeatedly: an apology. She said: ""We Germans accept our historical and
moral responsibility and the guilt incurred by Germans at that time....The
atrocities committed at that time would have been termed genocide."
