It is for that reason, ladies and gentlemen, in support of the African Union, we call for Africa's depiction on world maps to be corrected. And we seek to do that with the campaign that we asked the United Nations to support. The name of that campaign is Correct the Map. Geography must be decolonized. There needs to be a new political map of Africa. You also understand why at the second African and Caribbean summit, ahead of the 7th September in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Africa and the Caribbean reaffirmed their determination to put the fraternal transcontinental partnership at the service of reparative justice for Africans and African descendants. And emphasized the need to move toward the creation of an African Union declared for justice for African and African descent people. I reach here to salute our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean who grasped the meaning of this struggle. You have understood that by standing together for the cause of reparation, we will advance in more effective. This too is the essence of the Pan-Africanism.
