THE BLOOD RELATIVES OF THE SLAVES ARE ALIVE. MAHAMA CAN USE THE TRACKING DEVICE THAT HE BOASTS OF TO TRACK THEM AND DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY TO THEM...THEY ARE THE SUFFERERS. (Political Vampires are money suckers)

Who should apologize for the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and to who? Mahama studied a lot of History and should not be talking about Reparations. If there should be Reparations, it should be paid to the African American people because they were sold. No African country should have compensation. Was it not the African monarchs who sold their own into slavery as a result of greed? Before the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, there was the Trans Saharan Slave Trade. It were the African Monarchs and people who sold their own. It were the African people who fought and conquered each other and sold the conquered people into slavery.
One should go to Ghana, Nigeria and other African places to learn who sold who into slavery. It should be understood that the Trans Saharan and Trans Atlantic Slave Trade were legitimate trades then. Were African Monarchs not selling their own to the Arab people into Slavery? African countries should consider apologizing for the Slave Trades that they started and engaged in because they were equally guilty of those inhuman Slave Trades that went on.

Though the slave trade was a horrific thing that happened at that time, something good also came out of it. Look at all the prominent & rich black Americans who have lived & are living now? The black sportsmen & women, musicians like the Michael Jacksons, Supreme Court Judges like Thurgood Marshall, Colin Powell the top army guy etc etc. We can ask for reparations but it should be in the form of debt relief & favourable trade deals because they are not going to hand over billions to corrupt African politicians.

We have a lot of lessons to learn from the slave trade.
We should be serious in transforming our natural and human resources.
The Europeans came to Africa in search of commercial commodities like gold,ivory,spicies,timber etc.
The slave trade started when Christopher Columbus discovered America where they needed human labour to work on the sugarcane,coffee,cotton and tobacco plantations.
The European capitalists,bankers,investors and entrepreneurs found it lucrative to bring strong Africans to work for free.
The Europeans gained lot of money from it,many of them left the shores of Africa after the abolishment of the trade.
Ironically,we can't even grow sugarcane today in Ghana to produce the same sugar our ancestors were enslaved to do.
Mr President,you have built a Sugar Factory at Komenda since 2016 so when are you going to operate it?Tnx.

This practice is very old about 15 years ago I heard of this in my neighborhood. The victim didn't report.
Electric meters are also switched off, and you going outside to check is attacked
