Indies, slavery museum and repairs by Redac (fr, it, pt) [machine

On the occasion of the visit of Francois Hollande in Guadeloupe, for the inauguration of
the memorial act - the Caribbean Centre expressions and memory Trafficking and Slavery -
the secretary of the UGTG, Elie Domota, has lamented that the French Republic still
refuses the logic of "reparations" for the damage suffered by black people in the
Caribbean, from the slave trade. But what did he mean by that? ---- Questioned by France
Inter 10 May 2015, Elie Domota explained that implanting a giant museum in Pointe-à-Pitre
was not enough to repair the damage inherited from the slavery period of Guadeloupe. ----
But what did he mean exactly by "reparations"? The reporter did not ask him. ---- This
ambiguity gives free rein to the fantasies which were unleashed in the comments on the
various media web sites. The main argument against reparations is that the parties
concerned by slavery in the West Indies are all dead for decades, rendering obsolete any
legal action against anyone.
Now the question is not there.
In an interview with Alternative Libertaire in March 2013 , Elie Domota explained what was
the nature of the repairs required by the UGTG.
