The Germans provided free and accessible medical care for many Africans. They engaged in extensive agricultural and infrastructure projects in Namibia, including roads, railways, water holes, and port facilities. A German scientist developed a vaccine that saved native cattle from a catastrophic illness. The Germans built a 1,250-kilometer railway linking Lake Tanganyika to Dar es Salaam, which to this day “remains the lifeblood of Tanzania’s economy and of Zambia’s trans-shipment traffic.” Economies previously based on slavery transitioned to coffee.

Ok, but apart from the medical care, agricultural, roads, railways, water holes, and port facilities, what have the Germans ever done for us?

I believe the Germans were also able to broker a truce between the Namibian People's Front and the People's Front of Namibia.

Unfortunately, the Popular Front refused to join as he was not given the position in the bureaucracy he asked for.

They stopped slavery?

They stopped human sacrifice?
