⬆️ @wa__em

is interjecting its own experiences into 's case against at β€” That's not how legal cases work

Namibia condemned for defending Israel saying the latter has "yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on soil [in 1904-1908]" which Germany has already recognized ➑️ bbc.com/news/world-europe-5727

What is behind so many nations accusing Israel of genocide but excusing ? Is it ?

I love these sort of initiatives, where are telling the story of Africa, and in this case, exploring some tough colonial issues.

The reports show how the company allegedly didn’t adequately consult with local communities about the full drilling plan as required by #Namibian law; intimidated local opponents; violated its promise to line its drilling waste pits to prevent groundwater pollution; failed to secure legally required water and land permits; drilled inside Kapinga Kamwalye Conservancy without legal rights, and bulldozed roads illegally through protected areas.

#African #FossilFriday

Many of the oldest #fossils from the countries of the #Zambezi Basin come from #Namibia πŸ‡³πŸ‡¦, so we're returning there this week to meet the #Carboniferous #fish Namaichthys schroederi. It was an early member of a group with a bright future: the #Actinopterygii, or ray-finned #fishes, which, since Namaichthys swam the #Namibian seas 300 million years, has #evolved into by far the most diverse group of #vertebrates.

#African #FossilFriday

#Namibia πŸ‡³πŸ‡¦ has yielded many #fossils of #Ediacarans, ~600 million year old #organisms that shed light on the early #evolution of #animals. One iconic #Ediacaran, #Rangea, was first described from Namibia, where a few #specimens are preserved in #3D, giving an idea of what this #ancient #enigma might have looked like when alive.
