Paddling down the #OrangeRiver, on the border between #SouthAfrica and #Namibia, we were camped for the night. The water was catching the twilight glow.

About 10km downstream from here is a set of rapids called "Sjambok" (pr shambok ). An Afrikaans word, it means lash or whip. Typically made from hide. We were - fortunately - due to end just before those rapids, having traversed the "Entrance Exam" (iirc) rapids.

Not quite #genocide yet!

A closer analogy might be with the 1941 decision to shoot entire populations as part of 'anti-partisan operations' in #belarus and elsewhere - the alleged presence of a suspect being enough to justify indiscriminate slaughter. This was not quite yet a policy of explicit extermination - as was practiced by #imperialgermany against the #herero in what is now #namibia in the 1900s - in response to a rebellion - which like most such - had included atrocities.
