Criticism

On August 12, 2022, Avé's Twitter account was restricted to followers, after public criticism of a Twitter post regarding France's and, by extension, her responsibility for the enslavement of African peoples during the colonial period arose. Four days earlier, Avé had posted that "slavery is a crime against humanity, and indeed some people bought slaves but some sold them. And they were not Europeans ... if you want to blame, blame all".[30] The Tweet was a reaction to criticism of neocolonialism referring to Avé's installation as a developmental queen of Osu. The Tweet has been deleted as of August 16, 2022.
