Herero and Nama groups sue Germany over Namibia genocide - BBC News: They are seeking reparations for what former colonial power Germany acknowledges was genocide.
The plaintiffs are seeking reparations and the right to representation at talks between Germany and Namibia.
Some 100,000 people are believed to have been killed when Germany crushed an uprising, beginning in 1904.
Namibia and Germany have been in talks about a joint declaration on the massacres, which Germany has recently admitted were genocide, but Herero and Nama descendants have been excluded from the talks.
Unlike with the victims of World War Two atrocities, Germany has also refused to pay reparations to victims, saying it pays millions of dollars of development aid to the country instead.
