Time to Boycott Japanese Cars After Japan’s UN Abstention on Transatlantic Slavery Resolution

On March 25, 2026, the UN General Assembly recognized the Transatlantic Slave Trade as the gravest crime against humanity. Japan abstained instead of supporting Black Africans. I urge my fellow Black Africans to respond by avoiding Japanese-made vehicles such as Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki, and Mitsubishi. We can turn to African brands like Innoson and Nord, Ghana’s Kantanka, or other alternatives such as Chinese models from Geely, GAC, Chery, and BYD. Dealers and spare-parts sellers should begin offering these options. This change may take years, but we deserve dignity and self-respect. It’s time to assert our economic independence and refuse to support those who abandoned us.
