What happens when decisions are being made about historic diasporans without historic diasporans in the room?In this powerful interview, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon, Founder and Official Spokesperson of the Decade of Our Repatriation (D.O.O.R.) and Associate Professor at the University of Ghana Institute of African Studies, lays out the real issue at the heart of citizenship, repatriation, and reparative justice in Ghana: lack of representation.He explains why the ultimate goal is not just to talk about the challenges, but to secure a real seat at the table for historic diasporans through systems, structures, infrastructure, and processes that allow the people most affected to select or elect their own representatives based on a clear mandate.This discussion also addresses:citizenship hurdles facing diasporansthe burden of high fees and DNA requirementsthe gap between global reparations talk and local lived realitythe importance of self-reparations in smoothing the path homewhy representation matters in shaping policyAs Ghana speaks boldly on reparative justice on the world stage, this conversation asks an urgent question: what does justice look like in practice for those seeking repatriation, citizenship, and belonging right here at home?Watch, share, and join the movement toward real representation and meaningful change.#door #decadeofourrepatriation #repatriation #citizenship #historicdiasporans #ghana #reparativejustice #blackpower #representationmatters

Pan-African TV News ReportHistoric diasporans, scholars, and community leaders came together at the University of Ghana for a powerful town hall meeting on citizenship, repatriation, and the future of Black unity on the continent. Organized by The Black Agenda in collaboration with the Institute of African Studies, the gathering focused on one urgent question: how can historic diasporans return home and contribute fully if colonial-era barriers are still standing in the way?Speakers challenged the monetary and legal obstacles placed before historic diasporans seeking citizenship, arguing that these policies discourage return, block investment, and undermine the call for reconnection. The discussion also pushed beyond Ghana alone, calling for African leaders and continental institutions to take up the matter so that repatriation is treated not as an isolated national issue, but as a shared African responsibility.The event tied citizenship directly to reparative justice, self-reparations, and the right of scattered African descendants to come home without punishment, exclusion, or unnecessary burdens. The message was clear: the time has come for African laws and institutions to reflect the reality that Africa is one and indivisible, and that historic diasporans must be welcomed back in substance, not just in words.Hashtags:#repatriation #historicdiasporans #ghanacitizenship #blackagenda #universityofghana #reparativejustice #selfreparations #returntoafrica #blackunity #africaisone #diasporacitizenship #instituteofafricanstudies
