President John Dramani Mahama returns home from UN Historic event of Reparations.
”It was an honour to join Ghanaians in welcoming you back home following your leadership in securing the historic United Nations resolution recognising the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity”, the Vice President wrote.
This is a consequential moment. It confronts a long-standing injustice and affirms the importance of acknowledging difficult historical periods. It is a recognition of the past, a moral statement, and a challenge to preserve and present this history with accuracy and seriousness.
Ghana has spoken with principle, engaging the history of the African continent and the wider diaspora. This is a proud moment for Ghana and Africa, and a significant one for people of African descent.
