| 2023-11-18 |
| [AFRICANEWS] At a reparations summit in Ghana, delegates agreed Thursday to establish a Global Reparations Fund to seek compensation owed to millions of Africans enslaved centuries ago during the transatlantic slave trade. "Centuries ago" = F*CK OFF The Accra conference on reparations adds to growing demands for reparations after an estimated 12 million Africans were forcibly removed by European nations between the 16th and 19th centuries and enslaved on plantations that made it possible to create wealth at the cost of poverty. Centuries after the end of the slave trade, people of African descent worldwide continue to face systemic racial discrimination and racist attacks, a recent report from a special United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... forum concludes which supports reparations as a "cornerstone of justice in the 21st century". "It is time that Africa, whose sons and daughters had their freedoms controlled and were sold into slavery, also received reparations," Ghana's President, Nana Addo Akufo-Addo, told the conference. , attended by senior government officials from across Africa as well as the diaspora community. Slave reparations have become an issue that the world "must confront and can no longer ignore ," Mr. Akufo-Addo said, denouncing the British and other European countries for enriching themselves during the slave trade while "enslaved Africans did not receive a cent" . |

| #5 Always interesting how they ignore that it was Western nations that championed the end to the slave trade, abolishing it in its realm long before it was initiated in others (and still in operation today). Of course, some are bringing it back in the form of 'migration'. |

| #3 In Morocco, I once visited the medieval ruins of Sijilmassa. The city was the northern end of the preferred trans-Saharan trade route in that era: Ghana at the south. The Empire of Ghana controlled the lucrative gold, salt, and slave trade from the northern limits of sub-Saharan Africa up to the Berber Empires. No Europeans involved back then. |
