Ramaphosa demands colonial reparations after UN resolution on slavery

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for reparations from former colonial powers, citing a UN General Assembly resolution that classifies the transatlantic slave trade and slavery as a crime against humanity. He specified that reparations should include investments, debt relief, and the return of cultural artifacts. The resolution, adopted with 123 votes, is non-binding and lacks an enforcement mechanism. Ramaphosa also connected this demand to South Africa's reconciliation process.
