Algiers, Algeria – The International Conference on Colonial Crimes in Africa continued its proceedings for a second day at the Abdelatif Rahal International Conference Center in Algiers. The conference, which commenced on Monday, December 1st, 2025, is dedicated to examining the historical and ongoing impacts of colonial policies and actions across the African continent.
The event brings together a diverse group of academics, researchers, policymakers, and activists from across Africa and beyond. Discussions are focused on identifying and documenting the various forms of colonial crimes, including economic exploitation, human rights abuses, cultural destruction, and political manipulation. Participants are also exploring strategies for achieving justice and reconciliation for the victims of colonialism.
Key themes being addressed at the conference include the legacy of colonial borders, the ongoing struggle for economic independence, and the importance of preserving and promoting African cultures and identities. Speakers are also examining the role of international law and institutions in addressing colonial grievances.
The conference aims to foster a deeper understanding of the complex and enduring consequences of colonialism in Africa, and to promote dialogue and collaboration towards a more just and equitable future. Organizers hope that the discussions and outcomes of the conference will contribute to the development of effective strategies for addressing the challenges facing African nations in the post-colonial era.
The International Conference on Colonial Crimes in Africa is expected to conclude later this week, with a series of recommendations and proposals for action to be presented to relevant stakeholders.
