Overall, Dr. Corbin praised the BIG for shedding light on the lesser-known issues surrounding decolonization and mobilizing international support for addressing these challenges. The conference served as a platform for dialogue and collaboration towards achieving tangible outcomes in the fight against colonial oppression.
