Ghanas President John Dramani Mahama held talks with a global delegation seeking reparations for transatlantic slavery and colonialism, who urged him to rally other African leaders to choose courage over comfort and support the growing movement.
The delegation, made up of experts from Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, and the United States, presented Mahama with priority actions under the African Unions AU reparations agenda, it said in a statement on Friday.
In February, the AU launched a drive to create a unified vision on what reparations may look like, from financial compensation and formal acknowledgements of past wrongs to policy reforms.
