At a summit in Ghana, African and Caribbean nations issued a joint demand for formal apologies from countries that benefited from the transatlantic slave trade, along with debt relief and financial reparations. The meeting marks an increasingly coordinated push by these states to address historical injustices. The proposal includes calls for a comprehensive reparations framework, though specific amounts and mechanisms remain under discussion. The movement has gained momentum in recent years, with several Caribbean nations already pursuing legal and diplomatic avenues for compensation.
