Acknowledgements, reparations and restitutions must not be limited and punctual in their attempt to remedy the past, but will only be able to contribute in repairing a relations-system if they are in done in parallel to the promotion of equality in political, economic and decision-making relations.
In this sense, I argue here that remedying is different from repairing. It is a matter of ‘repairing the fabric and the face of the world’ (as Mbembe puts it), by systematically recreating a healed relations-system in order to thwart the uninterrupted resurgence of strong, prevaricating systems stagnating and reproducing weakness, given such an imbalance.
