Namibia Commemorates Genocide, Reiterates Reparation Demands

Namibia recently had its first official day to remember a terrible event from over 120 years ago.

German soldiers killed many people in Namibia, which is now called genocide.

Namibia's leader is asking Germany to pay them money as a way to make up for what happened.

Germany has said sorry, and has promised money to help Namibia develop, but they don't see it as payment.

The remembrance day included speeches, candles, and a moment of silence, showing how important it is to remember what happened and the suffering it caused.

The day also remembers when the Germans closed the concentration camps.
