Kuaima Riruako

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kuaima Riruako is a politician in Namibia. Riruako is also the disputed paramount chief of the Herero and a National Unity Democratic Organisation NUDO representative in Parliament, also called "Okahandja Herero" by some. He ran for President in 2004, finishing in 4th place with 4.2 of the national vote under the National Unity Democratic Organization. As Okhandja Herero, Riruako has led an effort to receive compensation from the Government of Germany for the Herero massacre between 1904 and 1907 in the same manner that Jews have received compensation for their holocaust. Germany has continued to rule this out, however.

But has never the less won a formal apology from the German government.
