Ghana’s Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa shuts down a major myth: Reparatory justice is NOT cash payments. So the idea that “someone is stealing reparations” makes no sense. The real issue? Governments voting against accountability. At the United Nations General Assembly: IN FAVOUR: 123 countries supported recognising the transatlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity.” AGAINST: 3 opposed — Argentina 🇦🇷, Israel 🇮🇱 and USA 🇺🇸. ABSTENTION: 52 abstained including all 27 EU nations ABSENT: 15 193 MEMBER STATES Focus on facts, not distractions. #UnitedNations #TransAtlanticSlaveTrade #Carribean #Reparations #Africa
