Colombia’s VP Calls for Reparations: ‘Restore the Human Dignity of People of African Descent’Francia Márquez urged colonial powers to take responsibility for centuries of slavery and its ongoing impacts as a UN forum on people of African descent opened in New York on Monday. “We continue to experience the damage and consequences of that system,” she was quoted by the media as saying, pointing to ongoing inequality in health, housing, and education. The forum also addressed how racial bias is being replicated in AI. UN chief Guterres called for action to “eliminate bias” from emerging technologies.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
