Shark Island: The Forgotten Blueprint of Genocide
Decades before Auschwitz, Germany ran Shark Island in Namibia, a site of systematic extermination. Starvation, forced labour, torture, and death for thousands of Herero and Nama people. Bones shipped for racial experiments. Today it’s a tourist campground. Justice remains absent.
@Its_ereko So, the way out? We are still talking about #mentalslavery & #decolonisingourminds but aren't yet on "the path to #Africanidentity". Unity still eludes us. Yes, the "journey is long", & yes, I share the core sentiments of your thoughts, but we need a way out. Let's find it.

@SusannaN2 .@SusannaN2 you're spot on there. That's why a "fix" is urgent. This sort of subjugation leads to one thing - a violent uprising. The early years of so-called independence in Africa led to such violent uprisings. Today, parts of Africa (East Africa for example) is "boiling".

@SusannaN2 A fix for incompetence in government is urgent, also a review (national debate?) of the structure of government (perhaps establishing a more effective inclusive governing practices?).

One year since epic mass protests in Ngorongoro Conservation Area rattled the government set on driving the Maasai off their land by strangling their lives in every way. Sadly, the result was not much more than government dominated commissions, yet to share their "findings".
@Pontifex You should know the people you're appealing to will ignore your plea. In our world politics (the 🗡️) is mightier than your plea (the 🖋️). Your prayers won't work either. So, is there anything else you can do that will effectively stop this senseless killing? 🤔

Amazing but true!
In 50+ yrs @Survival, fighting for tribal peoples’ rights in many places I was banned by just 1 – Botswana, for fighting Basarwa eviction fm a ‘reserve’ where a mine was planned.
A new govt & I’m off that persona non grata list,
but on another one, @Survival’s!
