Foreign Minister Maas Speaks Following Agreement With Namibia Over Colonial-Era Genocide

BERLIN, GERMANY - MAY 28: German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas speaks to the media to confirm that Germany has reached an agreement with Namibia over Germany's admitted colonial-era genocide on May 28, 2021 in Berlin, Germany. Germany has agreed to pay Namibia EUR 1.1 billion for projects that include rural development, infrastructure, water supply and training in a gesture towards reconciliation. German troops killed tens of thousands of members of the Herero and Nama tribes between 1904 and 1908 while quashing a rebellion in what was then German South West Africa. Representatives of the tribes are critical of the agreement. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
