We always talk about how Europeans enslaved immense numbers of Africans. We usually don't talk about the parties actually involved or not involved in that slave trade. What we also don't talk about are other slave trades that were even bigger and lasted longer, like the Eastern (Islamic) Slave Trade.

Western media choose selective moral outrage, and while Western schools teach their youth about their own faults, the Islamic World is far from being honest. Therefore I choose to talk about this dark history, and I hope to spread more awareness so that more and more people can know and talk about the cruelties of the Islamic world.

On Saturday, 24 January 2026 (2:00 PM GMT), Abibitumi Headquarters (1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, Eastern Region, Ghana) hosted a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing and the unveiling of the Black Panther Party Cubs (BPPC) Ghana Community Embassy / Continental Liaison Office.This event is about REPATRIATION (not “reparations” in the conventional sense). The purpose of the BPPC Community Embassy is to serve as a structured point of contact on the continent—providing reception, orientation, and practical pathways for BPPC members and families (and aligned networks) who want to repatriate to Ghana and beyond through values-aligned support.IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION (for accurate reporting):Some early coverage mistakenly framed this event as the unveiling of Abibitumi as the UNIA embassy. That UNIA Embassy was established under a separate MoU signed in 2025 between the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Abibitumi, and RepatriateToGhana.com (R2GH). Saturday’s event (24 Jan 2026) was specifically the BPPC Community Embassy unveiling under a new MoU.Reference (UNIA 2025 MoU coverage):https://www.myjoyonline.com/un....ia-signs-mou-with-ab & run of show:The program opened with mini-documentaries on Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. and the continued work of Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. This provided context for why Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. (posthumously) and Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. received citation awards at the Abibitumi Conference and Abibifahodie Festival 2025, prior to Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr.’s arrival.Key themes highlighted during the event included:• 60 years of the Black Panther Party (founded 1966)• 20 years of Abibitumi (founded 2006)• 100 years of Black History Month (originating 1926)• Major Black world events in years ending in “26,” reinforcing a long historical arc beyond a single country or single date• D.O.O.R. (Decade of Our Repatriation), framed as “self-reparations” through repatriation and nation-building actionThe D.O.O.R. initiative—spearheaded by Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon and endorsed by the Office of the President (Diaspora Affairs Office) and the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC)—focuses on practical repatriation outcomes (citizenship pathways, housing, integration, and economic opportunities). This self-reparations framework complements (but is distinct from) externally-directed reparations efforts pursued in the conventional sense by other actors, including President Mahama in his A.U.-linked reparations role and Hon. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah.Venue: Abibitumi Headquarters, 1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, GhanaPress / Media: pa@abibitumi.com | +233 54 502 8875Registration page: https://abibitumi.com/BlackPantherPartyCubsMore info on D.O.O.R. https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com#Abibitumi #blackpantherpartycubs #repatriation #door #blackhistorymonth #fredhampton #ghana #panafricanism

⁣Bradby RepatriateToGhana Citizenship Interview

What happens after life, and who gets to define it?

Chief Tola Adeniyi, former Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Times and Nigerian Tribune, steps into one of humanity’s most controversial conversations with striking certainty. He rejects the traditional doctrines of heaven and hellfire, arguing instead that such ideas were constructed as instruments of control, tools used by some to dominate the minds and destinies of others.

Speaking not as a detached observer but as a man shaped by decades of journalism, power, and reflection, Adeniyi describes himself as a spiritualist, one who believes in an essence that transcends physical death. For him, existence does not end; it transforms. The body may fade, but something deeper, more enduring, continues its journey.

This is a critique of religion, a personal philosophy forged through experience, conviction, and a refusal to accept inherited truths without question.

Slavery: The White Woman's Burden
White Women as Slave Owners

Today we're discussing Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers' work, They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South.

Against the backdrop of today's refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, another tragedy has gone almost unreported on the east coast of Africa between Mozambique and Madagascar.

Mayotte, one of the four islands in the Comoros archipelago, used to be a French Overseas Territory but now is part of France, the 101st departement of the Republic. But it is also at the centre of a crisis unfolding in the Indian Ocean. Mayotte covers almost 400 square kilometres and has a population of about 214,000, the majority of whom are Muslim. It is surrounded by coral reefs and the ancient Arab sailors whose ships often came to grief on its shores named it the "Island of Death".

Most recently, the racial tension on Mayotte boiled over resulting in anti-immigration groups deporting hundreds of Comorans from their village homes as they protested what they called "clandestine immigration".

Since visas to enter Mayotte were introduced in 1995, thousands of islanders from Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli have drowned trying to get there.

They largely travel in small boats known as kwasa-kwasa, which are prone to capsizing on the 70-kilometre journey from Anjouan to Mayotte. Reliable casualty figures are hard to come by. They are also disputed, with the governor of Anjouan once claiming that more than 50,000 had drowned since 1995. French estimates are much lower, between 7,000 and 10,000.

The Mayotte immigration problem and the discrepancy between the different death toll estimates are partly rooted in the colonial history of the archipelago. To understand why so many people see Mayotte as offering a better life and risk their lives trying to get there, we follow the stories of four men, Taher, Mohammed, Matar Yacoub and Ahmad Ibrahim, each of whom is at a different stage of that journey.

Taher heard that life was good on the island, but discovered that the reality was quite different. He arrived in Mayotte illegally and he and his family live as inconspicuously as possible to avoid deportation.

Mohammed arrived legally 20 years ago but is still waiting for his asylum application to be processed.

Matar Yacoub was detained in a holding centre in conditions that a 2008 Council of Europe human rights report described as "unacceptable". The body appealed to the French authorities to ensure that "human rights and dignity" were respected in such centres. Matar talks about overcrowded boats, rough seas and alleges that French ships deliberately flood the small kwasa-kwasa so that they sink.

Finally, Ahmad Ibrahim is planning his journey to Mayotte, desperate to provide his family with more than is on offer on Anjouan.

The French government estimates that as many as 40 percent of Mayotte's population is made up of what it calls illegal residents, referring to them as being in "une situation irreguliere". Ibrahim Aboubacar, the French MP for Mayotte, says that "foreigners" on the island are a burden on both healthcare and education facilities.

The immigrants' living conditions are undoubtedly poor. They live in fear of the French authorities and deportation and can suffer different forms of discrimination.

Taher laments that "even though we [Comorans] are one people", the people of Mayotte "don't consider us as their brothers". He says: "When some of them hear a kwasa-kwasa boat has sunk, they celebrate rather than feeling sad."

Island of Death looks at the Comoros' colonial past and why Mayotte split from the other three islands.The French presence in the archipelago goes back to 1841. The four islands became a French colony in 1912 but were granted a limited form of independence in 1961. In 1974, a referendum was held in which a majority of islanders voted for complete independence. France refused to ratify the result - so the Comoros announced unilateral independence in July 1975.

France ignored the proclamation, although five months later it did recognise the independence of Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli - but not Mayotte.

In February 1976, France held a second referendum on Mayotte, which voted heavily in favour of retaining its French connection. Ahmad Thabit, a diplomat and researcher, argues that the referendums were "organised, controlled and supervised" by France.

There was a coup in the independent Comoros later in 1976, followed by a counter-coup two years later carried out by French mercenaries led by the soldier of fortune, Bob Denard.

This triggered an almost 20-year period of coups and political instability on the three independent islands.

Sudan government announce $643 Million investment in Railway Network redevelopment - The Sudan railway network, half of which is abandoned, is set for a US$ 643 million makeover as part of current Sudan government efforts to revive an economy ravaged by decades of dictatorship and global isolation. The African Development Bank, China State Construction Engineering Corp. Ltd., and unidentified Gulf firms, according to Sudan Railways Corporation (SRC), are keen on assisting the North African country in restoring the approximately 2,400 kilometers of idle rail lines.

The railway networking project will be carried out in stages. The government intends to spend US$17 million in the first stage on emergency repairs to parts of the network that are currently in use. This network, according to the SRC's general manager, Waleed Mahmoud Ahmed, during an interview with sudan news agency, is critical for the country's economic development.
