Perhaps you have read in my previous post that these days I am visiting Namibia with friends.

Namibia is in the far South of Africa and has the oldest desert in the world. It is six times the size of my country, Greece, and has 2.5mn inhabitants.

You can find a lot of Germans here as in the past this country was exploited by Germans who have unfortunately massacred a lot of tribal people. This is one of the genocides little known to the west. Luckily the country was free by the Germans in mid 20th century, but then again was occupied by British. Fortunately, freedom came in 1990.

The way I see it, the people here are divided into two categories - as is the case nearly everywhere. The white middle class and the black lower class. Of course there are exceptions as there are everywhere. But that is the main rule. And it is devastating. We now live in a village with 100k people and although we think we are in Germany, there are native people here “begging” in various ways for some money by doing little jobs for the white. Is this odd? No, we have it in Greece too. But for the situation here, the main responsibility rests with the West.
