📅 29 Augustus 2018 📍 Duitsland, Namibië

Germany transferred 27 human remains of Indigenous people to a Namibian delegation. They had been taken during the colonial period and used for purported scientific research without respect for the people or their cultural practices. The handover was Germany’s third such repatriation to Namibia after transfers in 2011 and 2014. It addressed bodily dignity and mourning, while the wider German-Namibian genocide negotiations and calls for reparations remained unresolved.
