Nonpayment of reparations will be soon be blamed for economic crunch - Sulemana Braimah - www.asempanews.com

Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah, has mocked that the government will soon blame the nonpayment of reparation by European countries to Africa as a reason for the economic crunch.

His comment comes on the back of a call made by President Akufo-Addo tasking European countries to pay for the harm of the slave trade on the African continent.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the opening of a four-day summit with members of the diaspora in Accra, made a case for why Africa deserved reparation for slave trade.

He said the effect of the slave trade was being felt today as a result of the drain it had on the population and development of the continent.

He insisted that calls for reparation for slave trade was long overdue.

Predictably, the question of reparation becomes a debate only when it comes to Africa and Africans

We believe the calls for reparations for Africa are just,” President Akufo-Addo said.
