The chairperson of the African Union Commission Mahmoud Ali Youssouf has reiterated calls for "reparatory justice", demanding that former colonial powers "acknowledge historic crimes."

"The African Union stands proudly and firmly with our Caribbean brothers and sisters in every steps towards reparatory justice and true liberation," he said.

The two-day summit, attended by heads of state and government, was held on September 6 and 7. The first such summit was held in September 2021.
