Cikiah Thomas responds to Horace Campbell’s article, .

Whereas your article made some very close up observations regarding the reasons responsible for the victory at the first World Conference against Racism and again at the recently concluded Geneva Review Conference; generally, you were too generous in crediting the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights who was supportive of the US government and their allies’ attempt to destroy the reparations movement lead by African people.

Likewise, you failed to pay adequate detailed attention to the strategies and tactics African warriors had to deploy to overcome the dirty tricks slave owning nations employed in their attempt to disrupt the reparations movement.

It would be helpful in the future for you to note that our achievements in the reparations struggle is indeed akin to the Bandung creation and that Africans must be highly credited for such achievement. It would appears you are also giving too much credit to some of the nations states mention with respect to their support for reparations, as their support is directly linked to our lobbying efforts.
