Germany has returned the remains of massacred Herero and Nama tribespeople to Namibia, over 100 years after the Namibian Genocide.

 

The indigenous Namibian people were slaughtered in 1904 to 1908 in retaliation for a revolt against land seizures, and the bones sent back to Germany as evidence of European racial superiority.

 

Herero chief Vekuii Rukoro says Germany took to apologise for the genocide, and the handover ceremony should have taken place in a German government building, not in a church.
