The President of Senegal has been confirmed as one of the distinguished speakers for the upcoming Next Steps Conference on Reparatory Justice, an international event being hosted by Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama.
The conference is expected to bring together African leaders, policymakers, scholars, and advocates to advance discussions on reparatory justice, historical accountability, and the lasting impact of slavery and colonialism on Africa and its diaspora. The participation of the Senegalese President is being viewed as a significant boost to the event, underscoring growing continental support for calls for reparations and restorative justice.
Organizers say the conference will focus on practical steps toward achieving reparatory justice, including policy recommendations, international cooperation, and strategies for addressing historical inequalities. The gathering is also expected to strengthen Africa’s collective voice on the global stage as nations continue to seek recognition and redress for historical injustices.
President Mahama has positioned Ghana as a leading advocate for reparatory justice, with the conference forming part of broader efforts to promote dialogue and action on issues affecting people of African descent worldwide.
The event is anticipated to attract high-profile delegates from across Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Americas, further cementing Ghana’s role as a key hub for discussions on Pan-African unity and historical justice.
