Ghana is being showered with praise after it successfully galvanised majority support for an unprecedented UN resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade the "gravest crime against humanity" despite opposition from Western countries. Here's why this matters to Africa

I am overjoyed by the adoption by the UN Gerneral Assembly of the resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialised chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity. The process of its realisation, from idea to reality, was made possible by the solidarity of people of good conscience around the world and led by the active coalition of the African Union, CARICOM and other groups. I cannot think of a better way to honour our forebears on the day of remembrance than to have the majority of the world’s countries affirm that the trafficking and enslavement of nearly 13 million human beings is, indeed, the gravest crime against humanity. One of those forebears, François-Dominique Toussaint L’Ouverture, who was born into slavery but became one of the architects of Haiti's liberation, the first independent nation in Latin America and the Caribbean, said: “The greatest weapon against oppression is unity.” We must stand united in seeking the restoration of the humanity and dignity of our forbears who were enslaved and sold. #RememberingSlavery

Slavery is bad? Not for everyone. Look at the results of the UN GA voting on the relevant Resolution. See which countries don't support it and ask yourself why? Colonial way of thinking is still in their minds. #400years #Slavery #freedom

Amma ni hidhamee ree?😜😁🤣

UN General Assembly declares the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. The resolution calls for justice, human rights, dignity & healing. ✅️ 123 votes in favor ❌️ 3 votes against (USA, Israel, Argentina) ➖️ 52 abstentions buff.ly/xvmzDix

If you want sustainable peace, strengthening & supporting #OLA is the only solution!! Unless jailing, displacing, torturing, killing will continue! For Qubee Generation supporting Oromia's defenders, #OLA is not an option!!

I am pleased that the enslavement of millions of Africans is being internationally recognised. But why only the transatlantic trade? More were traded across the Indian Ocean to Arabia and India. Also: indigenous slave trade needs recognition
