African Leaders Push for Colonial Crimes Recognition
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
African leaders are advocating for colonial-era crimes to be officially recognized and addressed through reparations, as discussed at a recent conference in Algeria. The African Unions resolution calls for justice and compensation for victims of colonialism, with Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf emphasizing the need for a legal framework to ensure restitution is seen as a rightful claim. The economic cost of colonialism in Africa is believed to be enormous, with some estimates placing the value of resources plundered in the trillions of dollars. The conference in Algeria was strategically chosen due to the countrys particularly brutal experience with French colonial rule and its hard-fought war for independence.
