As leaders prepare for the Commonwealth summit in Samoa, discussions surrounding slavery reparations are taking center stage. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces significant pressure from Commonwealth nations to engage in reparatory talks, but he has so far rejected calls for direct discussions about financial compensation. Critics, including David Lammy, have accused Starmer of sidestepping the issue, while others, like the Bahamas PM, demand more substantial conversations on the matter. Meanwhile, the UK government maintains that an apology or financial reparations will not be on the agenda. The ongoing debates reflect a growing global movement for reparations, raising questions about how the UK will respond to increasing demands from affected nations.
