President heads to Ghana, Tanzania for key diplomatic missions

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah will depart for Accra, Ghana, on Wednesday to participate in a high-level conference focused on advancing global reparatory justice for the transatlantic slave trade and the enslavement of Africans.

The conference, scheduled for Thursday and Friday, will bring together heads of state, policymakers, scholars and stakeholders to discuss the next steps following the adoption of a landmark United Nations (UN) resolution recognising the transatlantic slave trade and the enslavement of Africans as crimes against humanity, a statement issued on Tuesday says.
