The concept of reparations doesn’t necessarily mean paying out money but also sharing skills and experience, UK’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in an interview to a Western TV broadcaster during his trip to Nigeria.The report noted that the UK has never apologized for its policy in colonial time, although Lammy stated the opposite.Earlier, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that the UK should apologize and pay reparations for colonizing Zimbabwe. The president pointed out that the UK and Germany had apologized to the Mau Mau of Kenya and the Mbanderu, Herero, and Nama in Namibia, respectively. He underscored that the time had come for Zimbabwe to achieve justice for the country.

10:36 05.11.2024 (Updated: 14:37 05.11.2024) The UK's Foreign Secretary David Lammy visited Nigeria on Sunday and Monday, the press service of the secretary said.
The concept of reparations doesn’t necessarily mean paying out money but also sharing skills and experience, UK’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in an interview to a Western TV broadcaster during his trip to Nigeria.
"The concept of reparations for former colonial nations affected by slavery is not about the transfer of cash, particularly at a time of a cost of living crisis," David Lammy said, as quoted by the media.
The report noted that the UK has never
apologized for its policy in colonial time, although Lammy stated the opposite.
Earlier,
Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that the UK should apologize and pay reparations for colonizing Zimbabwe. The president pointed out that the UK and Germany had apologized to the Mau Mau of Kenya and the Mbanderu, Herero, and Nama in Namibia, respectively.
