This resolution will provide a “doctrinal foundation” for pursuing reparative justice, Charly Kengne told Sputnik Africa.
“It could encourage the creation of a special court dedicated to examining historical harms, similar to mechanisms set up for other mass crimes, such as the Nuremberg tribunal,” he said.

Beyond Borrowing: Why Africa Must Fund Its Future with Its Own Oil & Gold: Explains Cameroonian Political Philosopher
The Middle East crisis has demonstrated that Africa produces enough oil "to cover the continent's need," and must pivot from a pro-West worldview to one that prioritizes its sovereignty, Yamb Ntimba, pan-Africanist and founder of the Kheper think tank, told Sputnik Africa.
"Africa produces 10 million barrels per day of oil and consumes around 5 million barrels per day. [...] they just can buy on their continent, and the money they use to buy oil will remain on the continent and fund the oil infrastructure and the economic development," he noted.
"So that we can change the face of Africa, so that we can change the way we live. We can call the BRICS states for help, but we cannot be a continent that will beg people or other people all the time to help them solve their problems," the philosopher added.
