Total shitshow in all regards.
AFAIK back then some plague caused cattle to die. Two tribes blamed white settlers and started killing them. The German security force commander responded by driving the tribes off into the desert and a lot of them starved to death. To make his bitch ass sound more important the German commander exaggerated his actions in his reports home and the guilt-ridden politicians of today take his accounts at face value.
Fast forward to today: the majority ruling tribe wasn't involved back then and is at odds with the affected tribes. Last I read the current government accepted the money but it's unlikely the tribes of the victims are actually going to see any of it because they are rivals of the current government. Probably a good part of the reason those tribes don't like the offer.
