British Prime Minister Burnham wants apologies for slavery and a debt revision, but reparations will not happen

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham seeks to apologize for the country's role in the transatlantic slave trade but rules out reparations. Instead, he proposes a review of Commonwealth countries' debts. King Charles will also address the issue with sincere regret at the Commonwealth summit in Antigua and Barbuda. Burnham emphasizes the need for open dialogue about slavery's impact, acknowledging that the UK has never apologized for its colonial past. The discussions may begin during the summit, where leaders from 56 nations are gathered. Meanwhile, Belgium faces similar calls for apologies regarding its colonial history, particularly in Congo.
