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." More details. |
