Our heroes are their enemies and their heroes are our enemies. Who decides which heroes we honor? Who decides what films we will watch? Who decides who we will look up to? Who decides whose statues stand on our campuses, whose stories are told on screen, and whose images shape the minds of our children?In this powerful conversation, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon breaks down the politics of soft power, from the Gandhi Must Fall movement at the University of Ghana to the deeper question of why Black people must choose, honor, document, and project our own heroes.This discussion moves through statues, murals, film, Kmt, Nana Amanirenas, Nana Malcolm X, Nana Nat Turner, Nana Yaa Asantewaa, Nana Marcus Garvey, Nana Kwame Nkrumah, Nana Thomas Sankara, Nana Patrice Lumumba, Nana Harriet Tubman, Nana Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and the ongoing work of building institutions that tell our stories for ourselves.The message is clear: those who control images control minds. If we want our stories told truthfully, we must document our own grandmothers, grandfathers, artists, builders, freedom fighters, healers, teachers, and visionaries.Learn more about the mural project: https://www.abibitumi.com/traoreLearn more about repatriation support:https://www.r2gh.comWatch and upload Black-centered content:https://www.abibitumitv.comJoin the Abibitumi community:https://www.abibitumi.comTopics covered:Gandhi Must Fall, soft power, statues, Black heroes, Abibifahodie Film Festival, Ibrahim Traoré mural, Black storytelling, Kmt, Abibitumi, repatriation, documentaries, Ghana, Burkina Faso, cultural memory, and why we must give our people their flowers while they are still here.Hashtags:#abibitumi #blackpower #abibifahodie #gandhimustfall #blackheroes #africanfilm #ghana #burkinafaso #repatriation #blackstorytelling #softpower #kmt #abibitumitv

Sign and share the petition:https://www.change.org/ghanacitizenshipƆbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon joins WSYP Sankɔfa Radio to discuss the urgent petition for fair, transparent, accessible, and affordable reparative citizenship for the Historic Diaspora in Ghana.In this wide-ranging interview, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon explains how the current citizenship petition grew out of years of organizing, beginning with the 2016 citizenship process that helped 34 Historic Diasporans receive Ghanaian citizenship under President John Dramani Mahama. He recounts how the original process emerged from meetings at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, and how there was no GHS 25,000 citizenship fee, no DNA requirement, and no sudden 48-hour compliance window at that time.The interview breaks down the major concerns raised in the petition, including:The prohibitive GHS 25,000 citizenship application feeThe need to permanently remove DNA as an exclusionary barrierUnclear and rushed application timelinesThe absence of constituency-mandated Historic Diaspora representationThe contradiction between calling the Historic Diaspora Ghana’s “17th Region” while treating reparative citizenship like ordinary immigrationThe need for Ghana to live up to its own Diaspora Engagement Policy and Pan-Afrikan commitmentsƆbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon also explains why this is not anti-Ghana. It is a call for Ghana to live up to the best of what it has already declared. The discussion emphasizes that a huge swath of petition signatories are Ghanaians born and raised in Ghana, showing that this is not a conflict between Ghanaians and the Historic Diaspora. It is Pan-Afrikan solidarity in practice.This conversation also connects the petition to the Decade of Our Repatriation, the Sankɔfa Journey, Abibitumi’s 20th anniversary, and the broader need to keep the door open for Black people seeking repair, repatriation, and restored relationship with Ghana and Abibiman.Sign and share the petition:https://www.change.org/ghanacitizenshipLearn more about Decade of Our Repatriation:https://decadeofourrepatriation.comJoin The Black Agenda GH on Black platforms, beyond the algorithm & blues:Abibitumi Public Group:https://www.abibitumi.com/grou....ps/the-black-agenda- The Black Agenda GH:https://youtube.com/@Blackagen....daghhttps://www.inst @blackagendaghRecorded and transcribed by Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon.The process must match the promise.#reparativecitizenship #ghanacitizenship #historicdiaspora #theblackagenda #decadeofourrepatriation #wsypsankofaradio #SankɔfaRadio #ghana #panafrikan #rightofreturn #abibifahodie #abibitumi
