Pan-African Progressive Front Congratulates Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah on Appointment as Presidential Special Envoy for Reparations
The Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF) has extended its heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah on his appointment as Presidential Special Envoy for Reparations. This landmark appointment represents a powerful stride forward in Africa’s ongoing struggle for reparative justice, the restoration of dignity, and the reclamation of wealth, sovereignty, and historical agency for the peoples of Africa and the global African diaspora.
The PPF emphasized that Dr. Spio-Garbrah’s distinguished record as a statesman, diplomat, scholar, and Pan-African visionary uniquely positions him to advance this noble and long-overdue cause. His leadership, the organization noted, will deepen continental and global coordination to ensure that Africa’s demand for reparations is pursued with strategic clarity, moral authority, and political determination.
Reaffirming its unwavering solidarity with President John Dramani Mahama and Dr. Spio-Garbrah, the PPF described the reparations mission as a central pillar in Africa’s collective quest for justice, equity, and a rebalanced world order—one anchored in historical truth, accountability, and shared humanity.
As the African Union’s reparations agenda continues to gain international momentum, the PPF pledged its full commitment to mobilizing grassroots movements, political parties, trade unions, youth, women’s groups, and diaspora communities to rally behind this transformative cause. The organization believes that this appointment will inspire renewed confidence in Africa’s united march toward reparative justice and a new Pan-African renaissance.
In his congratulatory message, Humphrey Quaye, Head of the Pan-African Progressive Front, lauded the appointment, stating:
“Long live the struggle for Reparations and African Unity. Long live the Pan-African Progressive Front.”
His remarks underscore the PPF’s belief that unity, consciousness, and collective action remain the most potent tools in the pursuit of reparative justice and Pan-African solidarity.
The appointment of Dr. Spio-Garbrah further underscores the growing importance of reparations within the African Union’s continental agenda. Reparations are not merely about compensation, but about restoration, recognition, and transformation—a reclamation of Africa’s rightful place in the global order.
The PPF reaffirmed that this new chapter, led by Dr. Spio-Garbrah, will reinvigorate Africa’s global advocacy for reparations with renewed vigor, diplomatic sophistication, and people-centered engagement. The organization expressed its readiness to collaborate with Dr. Spio-Garbrah, the African Union, and other Pan-African institutions to mobilize international support and policy momentum for this historic cause.
Rooted in its guiding philosophy, “Mobilizing People, Emancipating Minds,” the Pan-African Progressive Front reiterated its dedication to empowering African people, promoting justice and self-determination, and advancing the vision of a united, liberated, and prosperous Africa.
“By working together, Africans across the continent and the diaspora can shape their collective destiny and build a brighter, freer future for generations to come,” the PPF declared.
The organization reaffirmed that the reparations struggle is not only about redress for past injustices but also about reclaiming Africa’s future—rooted in dignity, sovereignty, and shared progress.
