Kemi Badenoch says Africans should apologise for slavery

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has argued that African nations should apologize for their role in the transatlantic slave trade, suggesting they captured and sold enslaved people. However, historians counter that slavery was fundamentally a system created and driven by European and American demand for enslaved labor, making European nations and the US primarily responsible for addressing its legacy through formal apologies and reparations.
