West African Nations Demand Reparations for Slavery at UN. Shouldn’t They Be Paying Up?
30th March 2026
Slavery was a universal feature of every society until Christians decided to stop in in the 18oos.
The reparations effort is being led by Ghana, which is, of course, setting itself up as one of the chief beneficiaries of the U.N. resolution.
“We are demanding compensation—and let us be clear, African leaders are not asking for money for themselves,” Ghana’s foreign minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said to the BBC. “We want justice for the victims and causes to be supported, educational and endowment funds, skills training funds.”
Ah, so Africa’s politicians aren’t trying to enrich themselves personally. That would be brazen and crass. No, they are merely attempting to loot other countries to pay off their constituents. How noble. How heroic.
That’s ultimately what this reparations push is about. It’s an attempt by several African countries to use globalist institutions and the façade of international law to essentially receive a permanent stipend from self-loathing Western suckers, I mean nations. It’s also a tool whereby other antagonists of the West can score some historical points against their rivals while ignoring their own modern crimes and tyranny.
