African Union (AU) leaders are set to discuss a unified approach to slavery and colonial reparations at their summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The agenda includes financial compensation, land restitution, cultural artifact repatriation, and policy reforms to address historical injustices.
However, former colonial powers, including Britain, Portugal, and France, remain resistant to the idea, with right-wing populists dismissing the debate. Despite growing calls for justice, experts warn that without concrete implementation strategies, the summit risks being another symbolic discussion.
