| Don't forget the genocide of the Herero people of Namibia
Today (October 2nd) marks exactly 102 years since the German General Von Trotha issued his infamous extermination order against the over ther Herero people, that resulted in the genocide. This was actually the practice, (predecessor) for what they eventually had planned to do to the Jews in Germany. They practiced their tactics on the Herero of Namibia- concentration camps and extermination. Taking out almost the entire Herero community, a group of people that consisted of 80,000 was reduced to 15,000 Afrikans: TODAY IN HISTORY, (2 OCTOBER 1904) “I the Great general of the German soldiers, address this letter to Herero people. The Herero are no longer considered German subjects. They have murdered, stolen, cut of ears, noses and other parts from wounded soldiers, and now refuse to fight on out of cowardice. Have this to say to them: Whoever turns over one of the captains to one of my garrisons as a prisoner will receive 1000 Marks and he who hands over Samuel Maharero will be entitled to a reward of 5000 Marks. The Herero people will have to leave this country. Otherwise I shall force them to do so by means of guns. Within the German boundaries, every Herero, whether found armed or unarmed, with or without cattle, will be shot. I shall not accept any more women and children. I shall drive them back to their people; otherwise I shall order shots to be fired at them. These are my words to the Herero people”.
