AU Theme of the Year 2025: “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent through Reparations” The path to justice and repair is long, but the African Union, its Member States, the African citizens and the African Diaspora are determined to walk it together. Reparations are not just about the past-they are about the future. A future where history is acknowledged, justice is served, and Africans and people of African descent can thrive with dignity and equality in fulfillment of the Africa We Want."
