President Hage Geingob has asked the management of the Asia-Africa Conference Museum to correct the caption on a picture of Namibian genocide victims. Geingob, who is on state visit to Indonesia spotted the picture during a visit to the museum in the city of Bandung, West Java province, on Friday. The Asia-Africa Conference Museum preserves and tells the history that shaped anti-colonial resistance for Africa and Asia in 1955. It is where the gathering, today known as the Bandung Conference, took place in 1955 and prepared operational guidelines for cooperation spearheaded by Indonesia’s founding President Sukarno. Namibia did not directly participate at the time but the museum displays a photograph of victims of the German genocide with an incorrect caption. President Geingob and delegation recognised the picture and victims as Namibians chained by German soldiers. However, the curator at the museum, Desmond Satvia explained that the chained men in the photograph as Zimbabwean nationals who suffered genocide. This did not sit well with President Geingob who requested that accurate information be displayed with the photograph. He explained that Namibia is the only country in Southern Africa that experienced genocide under German rule. The Namibian leader observed minimal information on Pan-Africanists such as Kwame Nkrumah and the role they played against colonialism. The Bandung Conference also laid the foundation for the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961 of which Namibia is still a member.
