Mission Cameroon accomplished - The Namibian (Namibian)

THE Brave Warriors set out to “steal points” against Cameroon in their pair of Africa Cup of Nations games, and did just that.

“We told them that this is the platform, this is Africa and we're competing against the big boys. We got the second one and we kept it close so that they didn't have many chances,” he observed. He believes in us and that's the reward we give him because we believe in him.” And to the team, I'd like to say thank you to them,” the in-form skipper said. We have to seal it, we have a big chance,” said Benjamin, who was effusive in his post-match assessment of the Brave Warriors. They did the work over these two legs, and for that I thank them,” said Brave Warriors head coach Collin Benjamin.

[asserts](https://www.bundestag.de/presse/hib/kurzmeldungen-939936) there is no legal basis for individual or collective reparations towards descendants of Ovaherero and Nama people affected by Germany’s colonial genocide. Despite pressure, the German government told its parliament this month that it was not prepared to [reopen](https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/060/2006085.pdf) the process. But the people most affected by the legacy of German colonial crimes – the Ovaherero and Nama peoples – were [never part of the negotiations](https://www.ecchr.eu/fileadmin/Hintergrundberichte/ECCHR_GER_NAM_Statement.pdf) and were only presented the final text of the reparations deal. The damage to the livelihood and identity of these communities has been passed down through generations. By siding with Germany, the Namibian government has also failed its peoples. A long-established principle in human rights law is that those impacted by human rights abuses should receive effective remedies to right wrongs.
