Germany Faces Court Over Genocide Case
August 19, 2025
Germany has been officially notified to appear before Namibia’s High Court in October a historic moment in the long fight for justice over the 1904–08 Ovaherero and Nama genocide. The case challenges the controversial 2021 joint declaration between Namibia and Germany, which critics say fell short of reparations and excluded affected communities.
Joining Desert FM is Joyce Muzengua, Deputy Chairperson of the Ovaherero Genocide Foundation, to discuss what this means for justice, accountability, and international law.
