Namibia's Genocide Remembrance Day is not only about remembering the atrocities committed between 1904 and 1908, but also about pursuing justice, recognition and healing for affected communities.
This is according to National Assembly speaker Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says the systematic killing of the Ovaherero and Nama people by German colonial forces constituted genocide and remains a painful chapter in Namibia's history.
