The leader of NUDO accused Germany of discrimination after that country refused to renegotiate its offer of €1 billion for the 1904–08 Nama/OvaHerero genocide.

The Namibian government is yet to receive a response from Germany on the proposed amendment to the joint declaration on the 1904–1908 genocide.

Ombara Manase Zeraeua, from the Zeraeua Royal House, says they have no dispute with the government regarding the issue of genocide as perceived in some quarters of society.

The Ovaherero and Ovambanderu communities converged at Ozombu Zovindimba in Otjinene, Omaheke Region, over the weekend for an annual commemoration that promotes the spirit of unity as well as to share updates on the ongoing genocide discussions.
