  "account": "President John Mahama of Ghana addressed the African Union Extraordinary Summit in Luanda, Angola, on August 30, endorsing the Luanda Action Plan. This strategic framework prioritizes early warning systems and preventative diplomacy over reactive measures. Mahama emphasized Ghana's commitment to sustainable, predictable, and African-owned financing for peace and security. He stressed the need for African ownership of both the financing and the implementation of these resources. The President called for clear responsibilities, timelines, measurable indicators, and credible financing arrangements. Ghana also encouraged African ownership of reparations financing, including the addition of indentured labor as a historical injustice. The President highlighted recent developments, such as France repealing the Code Noir and Pope Leo XIV's apology for the Catholic Church's role in the slave trade. He also announced a £100 million reparatory justice fund at the 81st UNGA session.",
  "summary": "President John Mahama has welcomed and endorsed the Luanda Action Plan, its implementation matrix, the accompanying decision, and the African Union Trigger Model.",
