Communities affected by the 1904–1908 Genocide hope to have the long-overdue negotiations finalised by the end of this year.

The four affected communities, the Ovahero, Nama, San, and Damara communities, said this at a media conference about the outcome of the Chiefs Meeting Forum held today.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform says it is working to ensure that there is water supply to communities in the Omusati, Oshikoto, and Ohangwena regions, as well as in Daures Constituency in the Erongo Region.

The communities have been experiencing challenges with water supply.

The Namibian government is yet to receive a response from Germany on the proposed amendment to the joint declaration on the 1904–1908 genocide.
