It is not until recently that I learnt about the atrocities committed against the Herero and what you have written about them just shed a new light on how gruesome their genocide was. It is a pity that Genocide and other inhumane atrocities even today are committed with the full background backing of western elements. Worse still we let ourselves continue to be defined by these atrocities.We are a great people and its high time we stood above the stereotypes that have continously defined us. We have seen death in all its forms, I mean all other races have and that does not make us more savage than the rest like they like to say. We are no different and should stand firm and acknowledge like you say that we are actually incredibly privileged to be Africans!!! Coming from Rwanda our biggest challenge to this day is hustling with Genocide deniers who btw are mostly western!! They make it a point to make the loudest noise when we are commemorating the genocide. I wont say much about how this affects us as a nation particularly those who survived and those who lost their loved ones in the genocide. Simply put, it is the worst one can put the victims through!! Rista, this is a very insightful piece.
