ARRIVAL: H.E. Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, President of the Republic of Namibia, arrives at Parliament Gardens to lead the nation in commemorating the Inaugural Genocide Remembrance Day—a solemn national observance dedicated to honouring the memory of the victims of the 1904–1908 genocide perpetrated against the OvaHerero, Nama and Damara communities during the period of German colonial rule. The commemoration takes place on 28 May, a historical date that commemorates the German colonial administration's 1907 order to close concentration camps.
