Slavery reparations not about transfer of cash, says Lammy

David Lammy, the UK Shadow Foreign Secretary, emphasized that discussions surrounding slavery reparations should not focus solely on direct cash transfers.

Speaking from Lagos, he highlighted the importance of recognizing historical injustices and addressing the broader implications of reparations.

Lammy's comments come amid ongoing debates about how to adequately compensate descendants of enslaved individuals and the forms reparations should take, stressing that it should encompass a range of initiatives beyond financial compensation.
