  No one is punishing African countries. African political leaders started out by demanding slavery reparations for African countries, without even caring to mention that those deserving of reparations are not African countries but rather the descendants of slaves in the Americas and in some European countries. It was not until this lack of knowledge was brought to their attention that these African political leaders decided to include leaders from the Caribbean nations in the push for reparations. African countries initiated the trade in slaves, and they have no business seeking reparations an evil and shameful business between Africans and European traders. Those who suffered from the evils of slavery are slaves who laboured in the Americas, as well as the descendants of slaves in those Americas who still struggle from the effects of slavery.

  I dont subscribe to this reparation nonsense since Africans colluded with the westerners to perpetuate inhumane crime. However, this fascist character is the least to be paid attention to.

  As another commenter put it, Africans colluded with the westerners to perpetuate this inhumane crime. Beneficiaries were the likes of those who are now raising their voices against it. Hypocrites.

  Always Is The NDC The Nation Destroyers Committee Which Creates Problems To Ghana. John Dramani Mahama Is An Incompetent President Who Cannot Cater For Ghana But Adding Problems Into Problems. NDC Under Rawlings Regime Flooded Ghana With The Liberians Refugees , And Nigerians IGBO's Refugees Also In Ghana, And Trying Another Problems Again To Disturbilise Our Country Ghana. I Hope To See A Coup D' Etat Like That Of Burkina Faso Will Soon Been Happen In Ghana And See How Those Evil Leaders Will Be.

  Meanwhile, we should also be bold enough to expose the past dealings of the past Asantehenes from 1700 to 1896. The ancestors of Kwaku Dua (present Asantehene) were just as dreadful. Prempeh 1 was still at it untill he got his comeuppance in 1896.Sadly, today, tge Asantehene goes to the Carribean and they fawn over him ,ignorant of the fact that his ancestors were the real Purveyors of the vile and despicable slave trade. Is the modern Asantehene liable for reparation?
  
  
  Between 1700 and 1896, the Asante Empire aggressively expanded its territory and regularly supplied enslaved captives to European powers on the Gold Coast, including the Dutch. The primary Asante kings (Asantehene) who reigned during this period of active slave raiding and trading were:Osei Tutu I (c. 1695–1717): The founder of the empire. He defeated the Denkyira in 1701, which gave the Asante direct access to the coast and initiated direct trading relations with the Dutch at Elmina Castle.
  
  Opoku Ware I (c. 1720–1750): Greatly expanded the empire, engaging in continuous warfare which yielded vast numbers of war captives to be traded with Europeans for firearms.
  
  Kusi Obodum (c. 1750–1764): Maintained the supply of slaves to coastal traders.
  
  
  Osei Kwadwo (c. 1764–1777): Enforced aggressive military campaigns inland and heavily engaged in slave exportation during the height of the Atlantic trade.Osei Kwame Panyin (1777–1801): Consolidated the empire and continued the trade of enslaved peoples and gold with European merchants.
  
  
  Osei Yaw Akoto (1824–1834): Fought the early Anglo-Ashanti wars and continued to supply slaves to the coast.
  
  Kwaku Dua I (1834–1867): Maintained the network of trade with the Dutch and British while seeking to export enslaved labor to local coastal plantations as the Transatlantic trade diminished.
  
  
  Kofi Karikari (1867–1874): Ruled during the 1873-1874 war with the British. The British abolished domestic slavery and slave dealing in the Gold Coast in 1874.
  
  
  Mensa Bonsu (1874–1883): Attempted to rebuild the shattered empire following the 1874 British invasion.Prempeh I (1888–1896): The final independent Asantehene before the British dissolved the empire and sent him into exile. While the trans-Atlantic trade had ended, the Asante state utilized war captives for its own domestic labor.

  Racist bustards. The major reason for the push back is because the British had lots and lots of colonies and therefore they'll have to pay lots of money proportionate to the number of colonies they held.

  For my money, The AFRICAN governments have made their point. They should have all “MINERALS “ contracts signed “REVIEWED “ and New ones to be negotiated with issues of REPARATIONS attached. African governments should be extremely cautious and Extremely “TOUGH “ with Anti Slavery Reparations governments. You can Either call it “White mail or Blackmail “ and who cares. But first , all the NEO-COLONIALIST characters posing as Political Leaders in Africa Should be removed immediately.
