Kuaima Riruako

Kuaima Riruako

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 was the NUDO candidate in the November 2004 presidential election, placing fourth with 4.23% of the national vote. [ [http://www.eisa.org.za/PDF/eu200403nam.pdf "ELECTION UPDATE 2004, NAMIBIA"] , EISA report, number 3, December 10, 2004, page 9.] 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.

He has nevertheless won a formal apology from the German government.
