President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has clarified that the selection of the date 28th of May as Genocide Remembrance Day marks the gravity and compassion with which Namibians should approach the Ovaherero and Nama Genocide, committed between 1904 and 1908.
Descendants of the genocide victims took to the streets of Windhoek to pay tribute to their ancestors in remembrance and honour of the lives lost during the 1904 to 1908 genocide.
President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has encouraged Namibians, and genocide-affected communities in particular, to embrace Genocide Remembrance Day in full and to acknowledge its foundation as laid in the common grounds found on Namibia's Joint Declaration with Germany.
