A chemist and an actor have been voted Germany's first black lawmakers. Karamba Diaby (left) and Charles M.Huber (right), descended from Senegal, have been hailed as figures of historical importance for the country - which celebrated the start of Angela Merkel's 3rd term in office on Sunday.

They were among 34 Members of Parliament with immigrant backgrounds to win seats in Sunday's election, up from 21 in the previous term.

Senegalese-born chemist Karamba Diaby moved to the city of Halle in 1986 after receiving a scholarship to study in communist East Germany. The 51-year-old, who stood for Angela Merkel's rival Social Democratic Party, gained German citizenship in 2001.

Speaking at the election, he declared his priority would be to promote equal opportunities in education.
He said: 'My election into the German Parliament is of historical importance.

'Every child born in Germany should have the chance to be successful in school regardless of their social background or the income of their parents.'

The other black MP elected on Sunday was Charles M. Huber, a 56-year-old actor born in Munich to a Senegalese father and a German mother. Huber is a member of Merkel's Christian Democratic Union, which won the election with 41.5 per cent of the vote.

Although nearly one in five of Germany's 80 million people are immigrants, or the children or grandchildren of immigrants, relatively few have made it into Parliament.

Until now there were no black lawmakers in the lower house, despite more than 500,000 people of recent African origin believed to be living in Germany.

Merkel's party also welcomed its first Muslim lawmaker into the Bundestag. Cemile Giousouf was elected in the western town of Hagen. The 35-year-old was born in Germany to Turkish immigrant parents.

I wish Martin Luther's famous quote was applied to all countries of the world,where he look forward to the day that black people all over the world should have a say in the governing of the place they reside.
