Tomorrow, the 28th of May, Namibia observes its second annual Genocide Remembrance Day – a solemn national holiday dedicated to reflecting on the 1904-1908 atrocities committed against the Nama and Ovaherero people.

Preparations for Namibia’s 36th Independence Day celebrations in the Kunene Region are nearing completion, with the organisers expressing confidence that the town of Khorixas is ready to host the regional event scheduled for March 21, 2026.
