The Black Agenda Historic Diaspora Town Hall: Citizenship, Repatriation, and Self-Reparations
The Black Agenda Historic Diaspora Town Hall: Citizenship, Repatriation, and Self-Reparations Ọbádélé Kambon 27 Views • 2 months ago

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

GHOne Interview: Whoever Controls Our Heroes Controls Our Minds | Statues & Soft Power
GHOne Interview: Whoever Controls Our Heroes Controls Our Minds | Statues & Soft Power Ọbádélé Kambon 27 Views • 2 months ago

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
