We are continuing to make it very clear, we do not want Barbados, Guyana or Afrika involved in any reparations claims, we never asked them. They never cared about us, but suddenly desperate to get reparations on our behalf. This has always been my point. What the Barbados, Guyana and Afrikan governments doing involved in reparations for us. Not only did they not exist at that time, but we can handle the reparations claims ourselves. They have no clue and are the wrong social and political standing to apply especially given their repulsive track records of mistreatment of Afrikans. Those who owe us reparations should engage directly. I did not give any government permission to negotiate on my behalf. I can speak for myself.

On an official visit to Namibia, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier pledged $1.2 billion for development projects in Namibia for the benefit of the victims of these colonial-era atrocities. But the Herero paramount chief, Vekuii Rukoro, dismissed the agreement between the two governments as an “insult” from “a so called civilized European nation” because it did not include reparations. Rukoro argued that Germany
must engage the communities that bore the brunt of this genocide since the Namibian government could not pretend to negotiate for them. It was irregular, this traditional leader further argued, for the Namibian government to purport to speak for the victims, yet it did not exist at the time the genocide was committed.
