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.

The ones who made money enslaving people and selling them into the slave trade OWE reparations. They are not owed reparations.

Decendents of slaves deserve reparations, not decendents of people who enslaved people.

These countries should be paying INTO funds to provide reparations to decendents of slaves.

What part are you struggling with here?
