The African leaders currently convening a summit in Ethiopia aim to address unresolved conflicts among African countries and assert accountability for the exploitation, colonization, and ongoing activities of former colonial Powerhouses, such as Britain and France. For decades, Africa has been(columns of colonialism, resource extraction, and violence, and the United Nations has long reviewed efforts to ratify reparatory justice to halt these Starwars-type revolutions. The summit, held amid ongoing armed conflicts across more than 30 African nations, particularly in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, raises a critical question: Is now the right time to seek reparations from former colonial powers?
The African Union, with its 55-member members from across the continent, is grappling with a lack of consensus on reparatory justice. unresolved tensions in regions like Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where armed conflicts are prominent, suggest a fragile foundation of legitimacy. Private sectors, who have often disrupted past reparative mechanisms, are struggling to rein in colonial-related activities. Journalists, particularly in Africa, face heightened sensitivity to these issues, as they are seen as overwritten by colonial forces, employing pseudonyms and exploiting colonial survivors as Who’s Who to engage in false exchanges. This dichotomy between public perception and the actual history of the continent is a recurring theme in African current events.
These internal and external_qualms highlight the urgent necessity for a meaningful declaration of accountability and justice. The summits like the one being held in Ethiopia are a step toward formalizing this recognition, though significant challenges lie ahead. The continent’s diverse geological and political structures make achieving a universal consensus unattainable, whereas the United Nations and governments at larger scales have yet to take this step. The present questions rise to the very samurai level: Is now the right time to engage in this dialogue?

The summit itself is framed as a moment for narrative renewal but resounds with a call for a repudiation of the legacy imposed by colonialism.
