Podcasts about Herero

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with German journalist Hanno Hauenstein about Germany's memory culture and the treatment of the Holocaust as a unique historical event, as compared to the genocide of the Herero and Nama people and others. They discuss the idea of Germany's Staatrason - or reason for being - which has been characterized as protecting Israel, right or wrong as well as and Hanno's work in the Guardian which highlights the criminalization of Palestine-related speech and the unprecedented effort to deport EU citizens for their Palestine advocacy. Read Hanno's new piece in the Guardian, "Germany is now deporting pro-Palestine EU citizens. This is a chilling new step" (4/3/25) and in +972 Magazine, "Germany moves to deport four foreign residents for pro-Palestine activism," (4/1/25). Hanno Hauenstein is a Berlin-based independent journalist and author. His work has appeared in publications including The Guardian, The Intercept, and Berliner Zeitung. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

Herero-hoofman Clemens Kapuuo was 'n vreeslose leier en 'n sterk teenstander van die Suid-Afrikaanse apartheidbewind in Namibië, en het sy lewe toegewy aan die stryd om geregtigheid en selfbeskikking. Hy het 'n belangrike rol gespeel in die verset teen koloniale onderdrukking en sy teenkanting teen die Turnhalle-grondwetlike konferensie, wat hy as 'n poging beskou het om Suid-Afrikaanse beheer te handhaaf. Hy was ook teen ‘n gewapende vryheidstryd gekant. Op 27 Maart 1978 is hy deur twee mans in 'n sluipmoord in Katutura doodgeskiet. Kapuuo se nalatenskap bly diep ingebed in Namibië se stryd om onafhanklikheid. Kosmos 94.1 het gepraat met PDM-leier McHenry Venaani, wat 'n herinneringboodskap deel.

Forged in Genocide traces the early history of colonial capitalism in Namibia with a central focus on migrants who came to be key to the economy during and as a result of the German genocide of the Herero and Nama (1904-1908). It posits that Namibia, far from being a colonial backwater of the early 20th century, became highly integrated into the labor flows and economies of West and Southern Africa, and even for a time was one of the most sought-after regions for African migrants because of relatively high wages and numerous opportunities resulting from the war's demographic devastation paired with an economic frenzy following the discovery of diamonds.  In highlighting the life stories of migrants in Namibia from regions as diverse as the Kru coast of Liberia, the Eastern Cape of South Africa, and the Ovambo polities of Northern Namibia, this work integrates micro-history into larger African continental trends. Building off of written sources from migrants themselves and utilising the Namibian Worker Database constructed for this project, this book explores the lives of workers in early colonial Namibia in a way that has hereto not been attempted.

Le génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda en 1994 est le dernier massacre de masse du 20e siècle. Fin 2019, se tenait à Bruxelles le premier procès pour crime de génocide ; un procès historique. Fabien Neretse, le prévenu, est inculpé pour sa participation à l'extermination des Tutsi. Jean-Philippe Schreiber est directeur de recherches au Fonds national de la Recherche scientifique et professeur ordinaire à l'Université libre de Bruxelles. Il est l'auteur ou l'éditeur de nombreux ouvrages, parmi lesquels « Le Choc. Rwanda 1994 : le génocide des Tutsi », paru aux Éditions Gallimard en 2024 ». Il assiste aux audiences, raconte, explique... Il tire une réflexion sur le génocide, sa nature, son exécution et ses exécutants, sa falsification, sa mémoire Il réinsère l'évènement dans l'histoire d'un des quatre crimes de masse au XXe siècle : les Arméniens par les Turcs, les Herero et Nama de l'actuelle Namibie par les Allemands , la Shoah, la destruction des Juifs par les nazis et enfin les Tutsi au Rwanda. Son livre est préfacé par Colette Braeckman. Elle a été longtemps grand reporter au service international du Soir, pour lequel elle a couvert les grands conflits et drames du monde et plus particulièrement l'actualité en Afrique centrale, au Rwanda, au Burundi et aussi en République démocratique du Congo.

Em 1904 durante a colonização alemã do território onde hoje fica a Namíbia, os hereros, liderados por Samuel Maharero, se revoltaram contra o domínio alemão, mas foram derrotados pelo general Lothar von Trotha na batalha de Waterberg e forçados ao deserto de Omaheke, onde milhares morreram de sede. Em outubro, os namaquas, ou nama, também se rebelaram e sofreram o mesmo destino. Entre 24.000 e 65.000 hereros e 10.000 namaquas foram mortos, muitos por inanição e envenenamento de poços, no que foi um dos primeiros genocídios do século XX e um dos menos lembrados pelo senso comum. Convidamos Ana Carolina Schveitzer para discutir sobre como esse genocídio ocorreu e sobre memória e disputas por reparação.Enfrente o calor com a Insider!

Adler-Apotheke, Bismarckstraße-Straße, Hansa-Hotel. In Swakopmund, der mit 75.000 Einwohnern viertgrößten Stadt Namibias, ist das Erbe der deutschen Kolonialzeit allgegenwärtig. Es gibt eine deutsche Kirche, eine deutsche Schule, ein deutsches Brauhaus. Und es gibt bis heute ein, vorsichtig gesagt, schwieriges deutsches Erbe. 120 Jahre nach dem Völkermord der weißen Kolonialherren aus dem weit entfernten Kaiser reich an den Nama und Herero kommt die Aussöhnung nur schleppend voran. Die Arbeit an einem entsprechenden Abkommen stockt. Die Vertreter der Nama und Herero fühlen sich übergangen, sie verlangen Mitsprache und eine großzügige Entschädigung. Dass immer noch Militär-Denkmale das unselige Wirken der deutschen Soldaten glorifizieren, trägt nicht zur Verständigung bei. ARD-Südafrika-Korrespondent Stephan Ueberbach berichtet.

Full Video Podcast auf YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@afrikafuralmans4582 In this compelling episode, we take a deep dive into the intricate history shared between Germany and Namibia, exploring the lasting effects of colonialism. Guest is the researcher Ellison Tjirera, who teaches Sociology at the University of Namibia. Together we dissect how the legacy of Germany's colonial past continues to shape land inequality and societal tensions in Namibia. The episode uncovers the often overlooked connections between Germany's Weimar era and the Namibian genocide, shedding light on the need for accurate representation and education in both countries. We discuss the complexities surrounding development aid, reparations, and how these intersect with historical acknowledgment and justice. The narrative brings to the forefront the stories of the Nama and Herero people, critically analyzing their representation in the context of German-Namibian relations. The episode also delves into the current state of racial tensions and the cultural isolation experienced within Namibia, highlighting the urgent need for a deeper understanding and reconciliation between both nations. +++ Subscribe to the Afrika für Almans Podcast

Praun, Matthieu www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

“I ask myself, where will I be after graduating? And looking at ownership of a house, it seems like a farfetched dream that could never materialize” – First time Namibian voter Rivaldo Kanongo Kavanga On the 27th of November, the citizens of Namibia will choose a new president in an election expected to be the most competitive since independence in 1990. The ruling South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) is fielding veteran politician Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah who is tipped to become the country's first female president. Land reform is one of the key election issues. Government statistics show that the white population still own 70% of agricultural land while the indigenous majority remain marginalised. Namibia attained its independence from apartheid South Africa in 1990, with liberation hero Sam Nujoma becoming its first head of state. Before South Africa's occupation, Namibia was under German colonial rule. In 2021, the European country apologised for the killings of 65, 000 Herero and 10, 000 Nama people, pledging to fund development projects worth more than a billion dollars.In today's Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to people in Namibia about whether this election will address the question of land reform.

Was führte zur Eskalation im Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Herero und Nama in Deutsch-Südwestafrika? Wie veränderte sich die Rolle der deutschen Schutztruppe im kolonialen Machtgefüge? Dr. Dr. Matthias Häusler, Dr. Frank Reichherzer und Oberstleutnant Dr. Christian Stachelbeck sprechen über die Hintergründe dieses dunklen Kapitels der deutschen Kolonialgeschichte. Im Zentrum der Diskussion steht die Verflechtung von Kolonialherrschaft und Gewalt. Die Bedeutung von Deutsch-SüdwestafrikaDeutsch-Südwestafrika nahm eine besondere Rolle unter den deutschen Kolonien ein. Aufgrund seiner gewaltigen Fläche und des Umstands, dass es die einzige deutsche Siedlungskolonie war, verknüpften die Deutschen große Hoffnungen mit dieser Region. Sie wollten die Auswanderungsströme, die bisher nach Amerika gingen, auf deutsches Territorium lenken. Doch dieser Traum blieb unerfüllt. Bis zum Ende der deutschen Kolonialherrschaft 1915 lebten in dem Gebiet nur etwa 15.000 Europäer. Zur Stabilisierung der Region wurde die sogenannte Schutztruppe eingesetzt, die 1888 ursprünglich als private Armee gegründet worden war. Sie sollte auf friedlichem Wege für Ordnung sorgen. Doch im Laufe der Zeit eskalierte die Lage und die Schutztruppe wurde immer stärker in gewalttätige Konflikte verwickelt. Die Eskalation des Konflikts ab 1904Die Vernichtungspolitik gegen die Herero und Nama war nicht von Anfang an geplant, sondern entwickelte sich erst nach dem Scheitern der konventionellen militärischen Taktiken. Als es der deutschen Armee 1904 nicht gelang, die Herero in der entscheidenden Schlacht am Waterberg zu besiegen, radikalisierte sich die Kriegführung - dies führte zum Genozid an den Herero und Nama. Dabei spielte die Metropole Berlin eine entscheidende Rolle. Der Druck auf die Kolonialverwaltung, militärische Überlegenheit zu demonstrieren, wuchs, besonders da das Deutsche Reich international unter Beobachtung stand und sich keine Schwäche leisten durfte. So trug die Erwartungshaltung aus der Heimat maßgeblich zur Eskalation des Krieges bei. Neues Forschungsprojekt am ZMSBwDer Podcast ist der Auftakt für das Forschungsprojekt „Deutsches Militär im kolonialen Einsatz 1880 bis 1918“ des Forschungsbereichs Militärgeschichte bis 1945 am ZMSBw. Dieses Projekt wird sich mit der Geschichte kolonialer Gewalt und deren militärischer Dimension auseinandersetzen. Das Projekt beabsichtigt, ein Forum für den Austausch zwischen Militär-, Kolonial- und Gewaltgeschichte zu bieten. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei der Begriff „Einsatz“, der als Entsendung und Verwendung von militärischem Personal zur Erfüllung eines hoheitlichen/staatlichen Auftrags einer Kolonial/-Imperialmacht definiert wird. Auch wenn der Fokus auf der deutschen kolonialen Militärgeschichte liegt, sollen ebenso die Bezüge zu weiteren Akteuren des Kolonialstaates, privatwirtschaftlichen Organisationen und insbesondere die Transferbeziehungen zwischen den Kolonialmächten und indigenen Bevölkerungsgruppen sowie die Verknüpfung mit anderen Phasen kolonialer/imperialer Herrschaft zur Sprache kommen.

Calls for reparations have come at a time where we've seen the Head of State be removed in Barbados and the returning of looted items like Benin Bronzes, Patrice Lumumba's tooth and skulls stolen during the Namibian genocide. In this episode we look at the case for reparations: its definition, political origin and what it could look like. This episode was originally aired on December 13th 2022.

Il teatro namibiano del conflitto in Africa presenta tre grandi particolarità, che lo rendono del tutto avulso rispetto a quello dell'Africa Occidentale e Orientale: innanzitutto l'ambiente desertico, poi il fatto che le forze in campo fossero quasi esclusivamente bianche, e infine il ruolo dei Boeri del Sudafrica.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: podcastlaguerragrande@gmail.comScritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:J.

President Nangolo Mbumba en sy Duitse eweknie, dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, het amptelike samesprekings tydens die Hamburg Volhoubaarheidskonferensie gehou, met die fokus op die versterking van die verhouding tussen Namibië en Duitsland. Sleutelkwessies het die voortslepende volksmoordvraag ingesluit, wat 'n belangrike aspek van die twee nasies se gedeelde geskiedenis bly. Presidensiële woordvoerder, Alfredo Hengari, sê Mbumba het die noodsaaklikheid beklemtoon van 'n ooreenkoms wat die bekommernisse van die Herero- en Nama-gemeenskappe, sowel as die breër Namibiese bevolking, in ag neem.

Im 1904 erhob sich das einheimische Hirtenvolk der Herero gegen die deutsche Kolonialmacht. Denn Siedler und Verwaltung raubten den Herero in "Deutsch-Südwestafrika" das überlebensnotwendige Weideland. Die deutsche Antwort auf den Aufstand war ein brutaler Genozid: Es starben etwa 65.000 Herero.

Send us a textWas the Holocaust a unique event or did it have its roots in earlier historical events?  How do we put earlier colonial genocides in context and conversation with the Holocaust?  On this episode, we talk about the connections between the German genocide of the Herero and Nama in Namibia and its occupation of eastern Europe. On this episode I talked with Jürgen Zimmerer about this topic.  We also looked at the role that the colonial genocides play in German popular memory as well as the fierce current debate over German official apologies and reparations. Jürgen Zimmerer is a Professor of History at the University of Hamburg. Zimmerer, Jürgen.

Perpetrators of mass atrocities have used displacement to transport victims to killing sites or extermination camps to transfer victims to sites of forced labor and attrition, to ethnically homogenize regions by moving victims out of their homes and lands, and to destroy populations by depriving them of vital daily needs.  Displacement has been treated as a corollary practice to crimes committed, not a central aspect of their perpetration. Destroy Them Gradually: Displacement as Atrocity (Rutgers UP, 2024) examines four cases that illuminate why perpetrators have destroyed populations using displacement policies: Germany's genocide of the Herero (1904–1908); Ottoman genocides of Christian minorities (1914–1925); expulsions of Germans from East/Central Europe (1943–1952); and climate violence (twenty-first century). Because displacement has been typically framed as a secondary aspect of mass atrocities, existing scholarship overlooks how perpetrators use it as a means of executing destruction rather than a vehicle for moving people to a specific location to commit atrocities.

Die öffentliche Aufarbeitung des deutschen Kolonialismus verläuft noch immer schleppend. Nun jährt sich ein markantes Datum zum 120. Mal, die Schlacht am Waterberg nach monatelangem Kolonialkrieg der „Schutztruppe“ im damaligen Deutsch-Südwestafrika. Die Einkesselung der Herero scheitert – Generalleutnant von Trotha lässt die Wüste Omaheke teilweise abriegeln, die Wasserversorgung wird unterbunden, sehr viele Herero verdursten. Die Wissenschaft betrachtet dies als Beginn des Genozids an den Herero. Welche Vorgeschichte hatte die Eskalation und was folgte? Welches Selbstverständnis leitete die Kolonialherren, welches die deutschen Missionare? Warum fällt Versöhnung bis heute so schwer? Ulrich Kühn befragt kundige Gäste: Der Historiker Matthias Häussler erforscht seit Jahren die Geschichte des kolonialen Namibia. Und Katja Lembke, Direktorin des Landesmuseums in Hannover, hat nach den Spuren der ersten deutschen Konzentrationslager im heutigen Namibia gesucht.

Holocaust, derived from the Greek, is a large-scale calamity involving fire. Today, the term is specifically used to describe the German genocide of the Jews. But it has a long history. The European mass murder of Indigenous peoples in North and South America killed 55 million or 90% of the population, between 1492 and 1600, in a little more than one hundred years. More bloodbaths were to follow. In Africa, many millions were killed in the Congo by Belgium. Germany wiped out the Herero and Nama peoples in Southwest Africa. In the Middle East, that was quickly followed by the Turkish slaughter of the Armenians. Then came Auschwitz. Since the end of World War Two, barbarisms and genocides have continued: in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Myanmar and Gaza. Naomi Klein says, “The Nazi Holocaust is finally being placed in history connected to the terrors that came before and after.” Recorded at Swarthmore College.

Why can't we give them back? Episode two of Dig Where You Stand examines one of the darkest chapters of German colonial history: The genocide of the Herero and Nama peoples in German South West Africa. In 2011, Germany finally returned 20 skulls from its collection of stolen ancestral remains held at Charité hospital - and the result was a diplomatic scandal. This episode is about the politics behind repatriations, and the symbolic power these ancestors still hold. Content warning: There are some disturbing descriptions and violent scenes discussed in this episode.Timecodes:Zablon and Sindato Kiwelu visit the skull of Akida Kiwelu: 00:00 - 03:04Intro: 03:05 - 04:272011 Restitution Ceremony: 04:30 - 08:30German South West Africa and the Genocide: 08:31 - 27:18The evidence on the table: 27:31 - 40:17Why can't we give them back?

Szwecja formalnie dołącza do NATO, a Francja i Niemcy kłócą się na temat tego, jak powinna wyglądać pomoc dla Ukrainy. Czy fakt, że Niemcy nie chcą wysyłać Ukrainie rakiet dalekiego zasięgu, będzie miał wpływ na przebieg wojny? Dlaczego kanclerz Scholz, który gani innych za opieszałość w dostarczaniu broni, sam zachowuje chwiejne stanowisko? I dlaczego prezydent Macron wysuwa sugestie, których realizacja nie jest możliwa? Jak ten spór rozgrywa Rosja? Twardogłowi wygrywają wybory parlamentarne w Iranie. Jakie znaczenie mają te wybory w teokratycznym reżimie? Na Haiti gangi sieją terror i spustoszenie. Jak przerwać cykl przemocy na wyspie, który trwa od kilku dekad. Czy Niemcy wezmą finansową odpowiedzialność za ludobójstwo ludów Herero i Nama na początku XX wieku.

Join us for part 2 of this Panel on wtf is going on in Germany. My German guests include Ilyas who is a German Muslim, Claus is a German who was raised with very right-wing views but has since shed them, and we also have John who has a Master's degree in German Studies and lived there as an exchange student. We discuss aspects of German identity, history, nationalism and the thinking behind some of the blind and bizarre support we see for Israel, the stifling of pro-Palestinian views - especially in the arts, the treatment of left leaning Jewish people who are critical of Israel, the Herero & Nama genocide, the ICJ, ex-muslims & ‘liberal' Muslims in Germany becoming tools of the right, & more. —— All guests on the Aftershow are Patrons of the Polite Conversations.

Larry Zieammermann, graduate student at FHSU history, joins Hollie to discuss the German genocide of the Herero in the early 20th century. 

In the wake of the Holocaust in the 1940s and earlier in the century the genocidal attacks against the Armenians by Turkey and the German slaughter of the Herero and Namaqua peoples in SW Africa, the Polish jurist Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide. In 1948 the UN adopted the Genocide Convention. On December 29, 2023, South Africa filed a case with the UN's International Court of Justice in The Hague accusing Israel of the crime of genocide in its ongoing assault on Gaza. The Convention defines genocide as “the intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.” Israel has dismissed the South African charge calling it “meritless.”

After the decisive Battle of Waterberg between German and Herero fighters, colonial officers in the colony of South West Africa, today's Namibia, directed a violent, uncompromising persecution of Herero and Nama people. Their policies would result in the 20th century's first genocide.

Calls for reparations have come at a time where we've seen the Head of State be removed in Barbados and the returning of looted items like Benin Bronzes, Patrice Lumumba's tooth and skulls stolen during the Namibian genocide. In this episode we look at the case for reparations: its definition, political origin and what it could look like. This episode was originally aired on December 13th 2022.

Covering Part 4: Chapters 7-11. We follow the Counterforce to a surprise dinner, reflect on The World, learn of Weissman's new frontier, and finally reach the THRILLING climax between Tchitcherine and his Herero half-brother, Enzian. Also: we speak with Professor Jeffrey Severs, literary scholar and co-host of the podcast Don DeLillo Should Win The Nobel Prize, about the 1962 Seattle World's Fair (a.k.a. the Century 21 Exhibition) and its influence on Pynchon's vision of the future: the Raketen Stadt. Other topics include: Giving LSD to elephants, Bush (and Bush X), Louis Jolyon West, disgust and absurdism, colonialism (again), capitalism (again), Ren & Stimpy, the Military Industrial Complex, the Space Age and all its wonders, Calvino's Invisible Cities, and more.

Our read-through of Gravity's Rainbow continues as we enter THE ZONE. The War--at least in Europe--is over. But the novel is merely beginning, in some ways. Slothrop meets a witch, a Herero revolutionary, and stumbles upon an abandoned rocket factory factory building rockets. Try not to zone out, eh? We are joined by Elizabeth Baer, author of The Genocidal Gaze, to get some context for German colonialism in southern Africa, and the history of the Herero people. How did Germany's colonial programming shape their 20th century genocidal ambitions? Other topics include: German runology, cyborgs, magic, IG Farben and chemical cartels, imperialism, hot air balloons, pie fights, the double-integer and how it looks like two people snuggling, Brenschluss, gnostic third-eyes, Kryptosam.

Since the late 1990s, activists have campaigned to remove "conflict diamonds" from jewelry shops and department stores. But if the problem of conflict diamonds--gems extracted from war zones--has only recently generated attention, it is not a new one. Nor are conflict diamonds an exception in an otherwise honest industry. The modern diamond business, Steven Press shows, owes its origins to imperial wars and has never escaped its legacy of exploitation. In Blood and Diamonds: Germany's Imperial Ambitions in Africa (Harvard UP, 2021), Press traces the interaction of the mass-market diamond and German colonial domination in Africa. Starting in the 1880s, Germans hunted for diamonds in Southwest Africa. In the decades that followed, Germans waged brutal wars to control the territory, culminating in the genocide of the Herero and Nama peoples and the unearthing of vast mineral riches. Press follows the trail of the diamonds from the sands of the Namib Desert to government ministries and corporate boardrooms in Berlin and London and on to the retail counters of New York and Chicago. As Africans working in terrifying conditions extracted unprecedented supplies of diamonds, European cartels maintained the illusion that the stones were scarce, propelling the nascent US market for diamond engagement rings. Convinced by advertisers that diamonds were both valuable and romantically significant, American purchasers unwittingly funded German imperial ambitions into the era of the world wars. Amid today's global frenzy of mass consumption, Press's history offers an unsettling reminder that cheap luxury often depends on an alliance between corporate power and state violence.
