The AU’s 2025 Theme of the Year marks another significant milestone in the conscious institutionalization of reparatory justice and racial healing in Africa.

This initiative aims to develop a Common African Position on Reparations, establish an African Reparatory Programme of Action, and strengthen collaboration with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the global African diaspora through a Joint Mechanism on Reparations.

These efforts are crucial in ensuring that Africans and people of African descent receive justice in tangible and transformative ways. #YearofReparations

The thing about being a (global south) migrant is that you can never give up, even on days when you feel hopeless, defeated, or exhausted. You must carry on with the plan. Rest feels like a privilege.
