One demand for reparation that was met was financial. These reparations would include being compensated for their ancestors’ loss of land, livestock, exploitation, and forced labor. These demands are made by the descendants of the Herero and Nama people. Another demand is for the acknowledgement that these historical atrocities occurred. One of the historical harm include the generational trauma experienced by the descendants of those killed int he genocide. Another historical harm is the fact that their ancestral land was taken away from them and currently occupied by farmers of German descent. The demands have been made within the courts and federal government. There is some pushback from Germany in acknowledging these demands.
