❗️The United Russia party and the Global Black centre to create archive to assess colonial damage
On March 24, The United Russia party and the Global Centre for Black History, Heritage and Education agreed to create an open archive database of materials that will allow the assessment of legal mechanisms for compensation for damage inflicted on African countries during the colonial period.
🇷🇺🤝🌍 The agreement was reached following a meeting between Secretary of the General Council of the United Russia party Vladimir Yakushev and Secretary-General of the Centre Tsegaye Chama.
Vladimir Yakushev drew attention to the scale of cultural heritage removed, noting that a significant number of African artefacts are located outside the continent, including in France.
“It is important to facilitate African countries receiving due compensation for crimes committed by the metropolises,” he said.
According to him, Russia supports the idea of more equitable representation of Africa in the global decision-making system, as well as the aspirations of African countries to independently choose partners and development paths.
