:''This article has been translated from the German Wikipedia article.'' GDR-Children of Namibia are a group of more than 400 Black Namibian children that grew up in GDR. During the liberation struggle of SWAPO against South African occupation of Namibia they were relocated from 1979 onwards from various refugee camps to GDR and only came back in 1990 at the onset of Namibian independence. They were mostly unprepared for their return. Most „GDR-Children“ are part of Freundeskreis ex-DDR (FeD, ''Friends of the former GDR'') 〔(Freundeskreis ex-DDR web site )〕 organization. The official language of the organization is Oshi-Deutsch, a mixture of German and Oshivambo. ==History== During the liberation struggle, SWAPO solicited humanitarian assistance from around the globe, which they got in the form of education, health, arms and funds. Between 1960 and 1980 hundreds of Namibians came to GDR and were offered academic education. In 1978 many wounded soldiers came from Cassinga to GDR for medical treatment. GDR offered „Solidarity Consignment“ to South-West Africans. Sam Nujoma turned again to the GDR and other socialist countries after the Cassinga massacre and asked again for children to be taken out of the SWAPO-Refugee camps for safety, support and for caring for the children. On 12 September 1979 Sam Nujoma request was granted by SED's Central committee. Jagdschloss Bellin, a hunting castle in Bellin, a village ten kilometers south of Güstrow (today in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) was identified to be a safety home for the children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GDR Children of Namibia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
