Slavery reparations not about transfer of cash, says Lammy
Briefly

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized that the conversation around reparations is not about cash transfers but rather about developing relationships and sharing skills with former colonies.
Speaking in Nigeria, Lammy acknowledged the horrors of slavery and said it is crucial to address the historical scars while focusing on future collaborations and support.
Lammy highlighted that the call for reparations from Caribbean nations should result in technical skills transfer and scientific expertise, rather than merely financial compensation.
He expressed that while the UK has apologized for its role in slavery, the current discussions should center on future relationships rather than financial reparations.
