UK PM urged to 'engage' on reparations at Commonwealth summit

As the Commonwealth summit approaches, a significant conversation is unfolding regarding Britain's historical role in slavery and the pressing issue of reparations.

Sir Hilary Beckles, chair of the Caribbean's slavery reparations commission, has firmly stated that Britain has both a legal and moral obligation to address its past.

This comes amidst ongoing resistance from British Labour leader Keir Starmer, who continues to sidestep calls for reparations to be placed on the summit's agenda.

The reparations dialogue is not merely an echo of the past; it is a pressing demand rooted in a history of exploitation and systemic injustice.
