Former President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his strong commitment to securing reparatory justice for Africans and people of African descent, as the African Union (AU) officially designates 2025 as the Year for Reparatory Justice.
Delivering his message on Africa Day 2025, Mahama—who has been appointed by the AU as its lead advocate for reparations—emphasized his readiness to collaborate with African leaders and global stakeholders to push the agenda forward.
“The AU has declared 2025 as the year for justice for Africans and people of African descent through reparations,” Mahama stated. “As the AU champion for this critical cause, I am deeply committed to working with you all to achieve this objective.”
The AU’s 2025 declaration highlights a collective effort across the continent to address long-standing historical injustices, including slavery, colonial exploitation, and systemic oppression. The campaign for reparatory justice aims to bring healing and accountability while also empowering African communities through economic and social redress.
Mahama’s leadership comes at a time when the global call for reparations is gaining momentum, with increasing demands for meaningful action and acknowledgment from former colonial powers.
As Africa reflects on its progress and unity on this year’s Africa Day, Mahama’s message serves as a powerful call to action—urging the continent to stand united in its pursuit of justice, dignity, and lasting change for generations to come.
