Watching zebras on the Namib Desert livestream. Most exciting thing to happen is a series of nonchalant farts from one of them.

1904 lehnten sich die Gruppen der Herero und Nama gegen die Kolonialherrschaft in Deutsch-Südwestafrika, dem heutigen #Namibia, auf. Am 11. August stellten deutsche Truppen die Einheimischen am Waterberg – die Herero sprechen von der Schlacht von Ohamakari.
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.

#Swakopmund ist eine neblige Touristenfalle deren einziger Charme in alten Gebäuden aus der Kolonialzeit besteht. Aber durch einen Zufall haben wir das charmante #villageCafe entdeckt. Kaffeespezialitäten, witzige Details und ein angenehmes Ambiente. Sehr zu empfehlen! #Namibia
Wir sind gerade in #Swakopmund in #Namibia. Leider sind auch hier vor der primary school #Elterntaxis üblich

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.
@johannalaakso @HannaEsmeralda_ Piti tarkistaa nämä EA-kielet, mutta ei ollut näemmä Ndongaa siellä. Vaimo osasi puhua sitä, kun oli Ambomaalla töissä 90-93. Matkattiin #Namibia'ssa 2016 ja herätti ihmetystä siellä, koska about ikinä valkoiset eivät siellä osaa puhua sitä.
Gemeinsam gegen Wüstenbildung – NamTip-Projekt stärkt den Wissenstransfer in Namibia
