Esclavage transatlantique : nommer le mal par son nom (Par Mouhamed Abdallah LY)
Every day since its inauguration on December 6, 2018, the Museum of Black Civilizations (MCN) has been striving to heal the wounds of the past and to reflect on the resilience of our peoples. That is why, on behalf of the MCN, I wish to commend the resolution adopted by the United Nations (UN) on March 25, 2026, recognizing the slave trade as the most serious crime against humanity.
We must commend Ghana for sponsoring the text, as well as the 123 states, including Senegal, that voted for this historic resolution. They reminded the world of the brutality and systemic nature of the transatlantic slave trade. They also highlighted the unfortunately persistent legacy of structural economic inequalities and anti-Black racism, which demand compensation, reparations, and restitution. In this, naming evil for what it is reinforces one of our missions: to make this museum a sanctuary from which the necessary reparations and restitutions will be initiated, for a future of truth and dignity.
