Reparations Update

 It should have moved off the plate for the German news, but I'd say it's back to a page-one item.....reparations for the Namibia genocide business.

So, the two tribes which truly affected by the genocide....Herero and Nama groups.....are rejecting the German-deal with the local government. 

They basically consider the 1.1 billion Euro package (30 years).....to be "unjust".

Strikes and demonstrations?  Probably.  

Could this lead onto some civil war?  Well....the two tribes amount to around 12-percent of the nation's population.  So I would question the wisdom of making this into a civil war.  For the Germans, it's just going to stir the fairness question up once again.
