It's Fair That Africans Ask for Freedom 'to Stand on Our Own, to Depend on Our Own': Namibian Historian
Africa deserves "to be equipped with knowledge and skills" to work as equal nations with the rest of the world, being independent from the Western world in terms of the economy, Kletus Likuwa, senior researcher from the University of Namibia, told Sputnik Africa.
"Whether we are from Africa or from Europe, the same blood goes through us," Likuwa said on the sidelines of the conference on assessing the damage caused by the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism in Africa, held in Moscow.
On Reparations
Reparations should go beyond monetary terms to include "psychological acknowledgement" and a new working relationship for the continent to escape "this historical bondage of economic oppression," the historian emphasized.
The hope is "this will change the position of Africa as an equal partner to all nations of the world and internationally."
