	Herero Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Herero and Namaqua Genocide occurred in German South-West Africa (modern day Namibia) from 1904 until 1907, during the scramble for Africa, and is considered the worst atrocity in the history of the German colonial empire.
		Characteristic of the genocide was death by starvation and the poisoning of wells for the Herero and Namaqua population that was trapped in the Namib Desert.
		According to the 1985 UN Whitaker Report, some 65,000 Herero (80 percent of the total Herero population), and 10,000 Namaqua (50 percent of the total Namaqua population) were killed between 1904 and 1907.

	The Legal Claim for German Reparations to the Herero Nation
		Although the Herero often talk about "land" in the context of reparations, the actual demand for economic reparations is based on genocide and on the merciless and systematic killing and starvation of the Herero during the 1904-07 war.
		Rather, the Herero locate their claim in terms of the international laws of war as defined in the Second Hague Convention of 1899, a convention at which the Germans were represented and which binds the European powers as they go about their "business" of civilized warfare, that is warfare between signatory nations.
		The Herero are aware of this, explaining the precise basis for their claim as acts of genocide committed against their nation by the German army, acting under specific orders in carrying out German colonial policy in the Herero War of 1904-07.

		Eventually the Herero and the Nama realised that the German colonisation threatened their subsistence and their traditional way of life as free cattle and goat herders so both population groups rose in armed rebellion.
		At the beginning of the First World War, South Africa occupied the area and in 1920, she was given the country by the League of Nations as a mandate.

		The Herero are a Bantu-language people who arrived in Namibia during fairly recent centuries, probably having migrated from somewhere in the Lakes region of Central Africa.
		Another source of misunderstanding between the Hereros and the Germans was the fact that all Herero land was tribal land, which they could allow others to occupy for shorter or longer periods, but which could never be alienated by being bought and sold in the European manner.
		The Hereros not only had the advantage of surprise but also, probably with foreknowledge, had begun hostilities at a time when Leutwein and a sizeable portion of the German military force were fighting in the deep south of the country.

		The bloodiest of these wars were fought between German troops and the Nama and Herero peoples, of which the latter was almost exterminated after around 80 000 of their people was chased out in the desert to die.
		Primarily in Damaraland, German settlers acquired land from the Herero in order to establish farms; in 1883, the merchant Franz Adolf Eduard Lüderitz entered into a contract with native elders which later was to become the basis of German colonial rule.
		The war and the subsequent genocide ordered by von Trotha resulted in the death of between 25000 and 100000 (possibly 65000) Hereros, about 10000 Nama and 1749 Germans.

	Africa on the Matrix: Herero People of Namibia
		The Herero (together with the Himba) moved into present-day Namibia and Botswana as part of a larger migration of Bantu-speaking peoples from east Africa several hundred years ago.
		During the 19th century, the Herero came under the influence of German missionaries who took exception to what they considered to be the immodesty of the traditional Herero dress, or lack of dress (it was similar to the what we see with the Himba today).
		Although I met several Herero men while in Namibia (including Festus, our excellent guide in the Wilderness Safaris Skeleton Coast camp), those that I met could not be distinguished by their manner of dress.

		As Maherero, the supreme chief of the Herero, had formerly sided with the English against the Germans, he was forced, on 21 October, 1885, to conclude a treaty of protection and amity with Germany, and to acknowledge the German supremacy.

		The Ju/'hoansi sought actively to prevent the Herero from bringing further cattle into the area, something that they have had some success in doing, thanks to the support of the office of the President of Namibia (Biesele 1994; Biesele and Hitchcock 2000).
		But it should be stressed that there were individuals and, in some cases, communities, that cooperated with the Herero and allowed them to bring their cattle to water and graze in their areas.
		The Herero in /Xai/Xai, for example, who had owned fairly sizable herds of cattle, began to cooperate with the Ju/'hoansi in their efforts to establish community-based natural resource management projects.

		The Herero fled into the desert and von Trotha ordered his troops to poison water holes, erect guard posts along a 150 mile line and shoot on sight any Herero, be they man, woman or child, who attempted to escape.
		This was too late to help the Herero though, as the few survivors had been herded into camps and used as labour for German businesses, where many died of overwork, malnutrition or disease.
