You have clearly highlighted in conversations that efforts towards reparations should be institutionalised at the national level by embedding specific national departments as a commitment to the active change in the narrative. @PatienceChirad3 #DGTrends

Ghana's strong commitment to youth empowerment and open democratic dialogue has created an environment where ideas, perspectives have truly flourished. @PatienceChirad3 #DGTrends

I would like to extend our healtfelt appreciation to the government and the people of Ghana for their warm hospitality and support in hosting this year's Continental Youth Consultation. @PatienceChirad3 @AUC_PAPS #DGTrends

And now for the closing Remarks : The Youth Need to be mainstreamed in their discussions and be an important part of the descion making processes on reparations @PatienceChirad3 #DGTrends

And that brings us to the end of this year's Continental Youth Consultation On Democracy, Governance and Human Rights #DGTrends

To effect change - You start with what you have, however small. Ms Sedilame Tumisang, Communications and Public Policy Expert #DGTrends

We need to negotiate our way through different relationships, inter generational even with our oppressors so that confront them for accountability in regards to reparations Andrew Songa #DGTrends

Economic empowerment is a pressing issue. There’s a disconnect between Africa’s youth—what they aspire to and expect versus what’s actually available to them. Andrew Songa #DGTrends

To tackle our present-day challenges, we must first confront the background that has shaped them. Understanding our history is crucial for progress especially in the context of reparations Andrew Songa #DGTrends

We may have a collective Continental experience and with that we can think together - but also we have unique substance of stories at a country level that have to be heard and within that - we have communities as well. Andrew Songa #DGTrends

We have many different narratives when it comes to reparations. And while constructing them - You will realize that they are layered. Andrew Songa #DGTrends

We are not trying to get our dignity back, we have our dignity. We are trying to get accountability Patience Masua #DGTrends #AfricaTalks

When we see what's happening or had happened in the past in regards to reparations - we have the armor to get onto the negotiating table from an angle of true restoration. Patience Masua #DGTrends #AfricaTalks

You cannot just take away my land and give me 40 million bucks and call that reparations. Yet this is what we see happening. I saw this while in my studies as an under graduate Patience Masua #DGTrends

Yet we still see in our constitutions that land needs to be reapropriated.. It's just compesation according to market value? Are we then still talking of true and right economic reparations happening? Patience Masua #DGTrends

The land question that we are so afraid to address - the fact that the land still remains in the hands of minority. 70% of the land rests in the hands of descendants of colonizers. Patience Masua #DGTrends

Traditional aid is not reparations. While aid aims to address immediate needs, reparations focus on acknowledging historical injustices and providing meaningful restitution to affected communities. Patience Masua #DGTrends
