AU-EU Interaction Should Be Lever to Push for Reparations Despite Western Opposition, Head of AU Diaspora Division Says
Africa should push for reparations for transatlantic slavery and colonialism despite the rise of right-wing populism in Europe and elsewhere, Angela Naa Afoley Odai told a UK media outlet.
"There is no better time as this to discuss the issue of reparations as Africans ... irrespective of the various issues going on that may seem intimidating," the official emphasized.
Notably, the AU's 38th Summit in February focused on promoting restorative justice and racial healing on the continent, while the AU had previously suggested diplomatic pressure or legal action in international courts as possible strategies.
In this regard, Odai highlighted ongoing partnerships between the AU and entities like the Caribbean and the EU as avenues to build "build a united front" for reparations.
