Voice of the Peasant to educate and inform citizens: a commitment to social and climate justice.
On August 5, 2025, voices rose across Paris to demand reparations for the colonial crimes committed in Africa. Through rallies, bold street posters, and citizen-led speeches, the French capital became, for one day, the stage of a historic mobilization. The call for reparations is no longer just an academic debate—it is now a popular outcry, carried by an Afro-descendant and united youth.
Among the slogans seen on Parisian walls: “Reparation, Restoration, Refoundation Africa,” as highlighted in this Afrik Soir publication dated August 5, 2025, which reports that colonial justice is now central to broader social demands. This activist surge directly challenges France’s historical responsibilities while calling for concrete moral, economic, and symbolic reparative measures for African peoples.
This civic awakening shows that the fight for historical truth and African dignity now transcends borders. Across Paris, a long-suppressed memory is reemerging. The message is clear: to repair is to acknowledge. And to acknowledge is to rebuild a just relationship between Africa and its former colonial powers.
