Last night the Windhoek City Council voted, in a 9:5 vote, to remove the statue of German colonial officer Curt von François, which has been standing outside the Windhoek municipality since 1965.

Here a few notes on the background of this significant decision. More soon.

The statue is going to be removed!
Thank you so much for your support over the years! We did it!

Shark Island should be a genocide museum, NOT A CAMPING SITE. It was one of the country's deadliest concentration camps with a death rate of more than 80% yet if you go there today there is no sign, of the island's brutal past. #decolonizenamibia

Shark Island was one of the genocide's deadliest concentration camps and had a death rate of more than 80 percent. @NWRNamibia has reopened Shark Island as a "camping site" for tourists while omitting the truth of the island's brutal past. #decolonizenamibia #acurtfarewell

2 October marked the 117th anniversary of Lothar von Trotha's infamous Extermination Order that sparked the beginning of the Ovaherero & Nama Genocide. On April 22, 1905, he read an order to the Nama, saying that they would face the same fate as the Herero. #namahererogenocide

@lpm_namibia Bernadus Swartbooi says that the reason Germany finds it easy to negotiate with us is that we are divided. We need to be united.

[A Curt Farewell @CurtFarewell]

The Genocide debate in parliament continues and @lpm_namibia 's leader Bernadus Swartbooi says we need to quantify what was lost, how many people were killed, how much livestock was taken, how much land was taken.

@mvenaani says why is there no Genocide Remembrance Day ? Over 100000 Namibians dead #NamaOvahereroGenocide #NamibianGenocideReparations

[A Curt Farewell @CurtFarewell]

Watch the live debate in Parliament about the German reparation deal for the Nama and Ovaherero Genocide of 1904-1908. https://t.co/NycEDnNPhZ #namibiangenocide #namibianreparations #namaovahererogenocide

[A Curt Farewell @CurtFarewell]

@mvenaani says that there are more than 6500 farms in Namibia and Germany is only willing to give back 1000 farms

[A Curt Farewell @CurtFarewell]

@mvenaani says Reparations must wipe out all the ill that was done with the genocide.
The German government must recognize the full extent of the atrocities.

[A Curt Farewell @CurtFarewell]

@mvenaani For more than 100 years we were under bondage.

[A Curt Farewell @CurtFarewell]

@mvenaani says that affected communities need to be included in the agreement. "Nothing for us without us"

[A Curt Farewell @CurtFarewell]

@mvenaani says that how is the renovation of a German castle more important than the reparations of the Ovaherero and Nama people
