Delegates discussed reparations and Palestine at the African Union’s 38th summit (15-16 February). African leaders advocated for slavery and colonial reparations, calling for financial compensation, policy reforms, land restitution and historical accountability.
The summit also condemned Israel, declaring it was committing g*nocide against Palestinians and calling for international prosecution. The AU urged an end to normalised relations with Israel until it ceases occupation and aggression. It had previously expelled an Israeli representative in 2023.
