Cihan Media Unveils Report on Africa's Unified Reparations Demand
Cihan Media Releases Insight on Reparations Advocacy
'Africa's Reparations Call Now a Unified Demand' – President Mahama
A newly published report by Cihan Media Communications sheds light on the rising consensus among African nations regarding reparations for historical injustices against Africans and people of African descent. This report emerges as African countries are gearing up for a significant high-level event coinciding with the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), co-sponsored by Ghana and Togo.
A Unified Demand for Justice
The report highlights that the campaign for reparations is evolving from previously scattered efforts into a consolidated, coordinated demand. This shift is deeply rooted in the quest for historical accountability, moral integrity, and Africa's assertive movement towards sovereignty and dignity.
Progress Report from President Mahama
During the 7th Mid-Year Coordination Meeting of the African Union held in Malabo, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana and an esteemed Champion for Reparations within the African Union, delivered a compelling message:
"Africa’s call for reparative justice is no longer subtle; it has transformed into a collective demand backed by historical truth, moral clarity, and a steadfast commitment to dignity. Our theme for the Year on Justice for Africans and People of African Descent through Reparations for 2025 reinforces our shared goal to rectify historical injustices through restitution, healing, and comprehensive systemic transformation."
President Mahama welcomed the African Union Executive Council's recent decision to extend reparations advocacy into the next decade (2026–2036). He characterized this move as essential for mobilizing resources and establishing a solid institutional framework across member states.
He further reiterated that reparations must transition from mere discussion to actionable government policies, urging all African nations to embed reparations into their national development strategies, foreign policy priorities, and legal structures.
"This gives us, as a Union, the chance to maintain momentum towards achieving this noble objective," he stated.
Restitution as a Framework for Justice
The insights in the Cihan report resonate with Mahama's appeal, positioning reparations as vital for Africa’s pursuit of political and economic self-determination. The report insists that attaining reparative justice necessitates:
- Financial compensation addressing forced labor, resource extraction, and systemic inequalities;
- Technology transfers to overcome gaps in industrial and innovative capabilities;
- Transparent reparations funds aimed at fostering education, cultural revitalization, and economic empowerment.
The Cultural and Spiritual Dimensions
Mahama further emphasized the spiritual and cultural significance of reparations:
"Restitution is not only a financial matter but also the restoration of full human dignity. We cannot discuss development without identity or unity while ignoring the cultural distortions of our past."
He highlighted the necessity for collaboration with global partners, especially the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to present a unified front on international stages.
"We invite all nations, both within Africa and afar, to join us as we strive for a just and equitable future for the descendants of our motherland," he stated.
In spite of opposition from former colonial powers, the report clearly articulates that the quest for reparations represents not a request but a legitimate demand, rooted in moral and economic justifications for redressing centuries-long exploitation.
Preparing for the UNGA 2025
In a noteworthy diplomatic advancement, Mahama has declared that Ghana and Togo will co-host a high-level event at UNGA 2025, aimed at fostering global acknowledgement of and support for Africa's reparations agenda.
"By addressing historical injustices, we reaffirm our humanity. We reclaim our sovereignty and rekindle the flame of dignity intrinsic to the African spirit," he remarked.
