Ghana: President Urges UN to Consider Reparations for Slave Trade! (22.9.2023)

“Reparations must be paid for the slave trade,” Akufo-Addo said to an eruption of applause.

“No amount of money will ever make up for the horrors, but it would make the point that evil was perpetrated, that millions of productive Africans were snatched from the embrace of our continent, and put to work in the Americas and the Caribbean without compensation for their labor,” he said.

He also called for the illicit flow of funds from Africa to be returned to the continent.

While the current picture on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals “is not very bright,” Akufo-Addo expressed the hope that “it is within our capacity to turn things around.”

A good start would be to make the needed changes to the structures of the United Nations, “then we can rebuild trust and reignite global solidarity,” he said.

EU: Von der Leyen Anti-Socialist Speech! 14.9.2023)

Qin Yan, a carbon analyst based in Oslo with financial data provider Refinitiv, said Von der Leyen emphasized staying course on Green Deal, but did not mention many concrete measures.

“Instead, she has continued to tone on ‘de-risking’ from China and solid supply chain etc, and the launch of an anti-subsidy investigation of Chinese EVs, as France requested,” Qin said.

“So this is more of a campaign speech with lots of China bashing than delivering concrete measures regarding the Green Deal.”

Ryszard Legutko, co-chair of the European Conservatives and Reformists, lashed out in front of von der Leyen.

“Is the EU in better shape today than 15 years ago? The answer is an emphatic no,” he said. “Something is rotten in the State of the Union. There is more than ever instability, tension and uncertainty.”

“As expected lots of self-congratulatory statements,” Bas Eickhout, a Dutch MEP of the Greens Group, wrote on X.

“But for the future? Very meager on Green Deal, lots of competitiveness bullshit bingo and very many dialogues. This is more an EPP Spitzenkandidatin speech …” he said, clearly referring to von der Leyen who has come under great pressure under her own European People’s Party on climate and migration policies.
