The partnership between the 55-member African Union and the Caribbean Community (Caricom) of 20 countries will aim to intensify pressure on former slave-owning nations to engage with the reparations movement.

Delegates also announced the establishment of a global fund based in Africa aiming to accelerate the campaign.

    Okay so that covers the historical slavery.

    What about the contemporary slavery that is still going on? Is Africa going to repatriate it’s own victims?

      Not sure why African nations think they get to call for reparations when most slaves were sold by Africans to European and Arabic slave traders…

      Caribbean nations, sure, fair enough, even if you don’t believe in slavery reparations at all the behavior of the colonial powers afterwards deserve it if nothing else, plus all the damage global warming is posed to do.
