Opinion: Reparations ? Compensate The Descendants of Slaves
This unstoppable movement is a long-awaited sign of social progression and could have positive outcomes for generations in the future
The post Opinion: Reparations – Compensate The Descendants of Slaves appeared first on LUXUO.
The movement is unstoppable. In the same week, King Charles expresses regrets for the British colonial violence committed in Kenya, and German President Steinmeier apologises to Tanzania for the atrocities committed by Germans. The question is burning: will European countries now be forced to allocate a portion of their taxpayers? funds to substantially compensate the descendants of slaves"
The cause is ardently defended from the Caribbean, which finds itself at the forefront of this fight, led primarily (but not exclusively) by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who calls for this debate to take place among ?equal partners.? The Caribbean nations are not seeking charity from former colonizers. Instead, they have developed a 10-point plan for reparations or compensations, ranging from formal and complete apologies to be issued by certain European nations to the provision of funds primarily for healthcare, education, and access to the latest technologies for the formerly colonised peoples. The challenge faced by these African, Asian, and Caribbean countries demanding recognition ? not just symbolic ? of the ravages perpetrated by the colonizers is even more colossal considering the staggering sums involved.
