An online forum by key Pan-African organizations in Africa has resulted in the demand for real compensation from Western countries for their colonial legacy in Africa.
Consequently, the group resolved to present specific legal mechanisms to the African Union (AU) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) as part of the efforts to obtain the reparations.
The regional online forum was held on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, bringing together leaders of non-governmental organizations, Pan-Africanist activists, and experts from seven African countries to discuss the matter of reparations to Africa.
The forum featured notable names such as veteran Ghanaian journalist and leader of the Socialist Movement of Ghana, Kwesi Pratt Jnr; Ouzairou Mamane, who chairs Niger-based ANJUD, a socialist group that champions African development; and Socrate Gutenberg from the Central African Republic.
