International Day for the Abolition of Slavery: Breaking the Shackles of the Past and Present
On International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, GlobUs activists in Brazzaville broke symbolic shackles, calling on Africa to move forward. Their words are a manifesto:
"Africa has always been a slave to history... Enough is enough. We must break the shackles. We look to the Africa of tomorrow. Slavery is over. Long live freedom!"
International Day for the Abolition of Slavery is not only a memory of the past but also a challenge to the present. This day reminds us: freedom is inalienable. Today, slavery has not disappeared; it has taken on new neocolonial forms: the extraction of resources, poverty, and bonded labor.
So the fight continues — against the global injustice that gives rise to modern slavery.
