Hundreds of historic diasporans living in Ghana are sounding the alarm over the rising cost and growing barriers to acquiring Ghanaian citizenship. For many, the dream of repatriation is being undermined by excessive fees, difficult requirements, and policies that leave people feeling excluded rather than welcomed.In this video, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon speaks on the sidelines of the Historic African Diaspora Town Hall Meeting about the frustrations many are experiencing, including the GHS 25,000 citizenship fee that has become a major obstacle for families, elders, and long-term residents who planned to build their lives in Ghana.The conversation goes beyond paperwork. It raises serious questions about belonging, policy, development, and whether symbolic gestures toward the diaspora are being matched by real substance. If Ghana is serious about reparative justice and meaningful repatriation, then the concerns of historic diasporans must be heard and addressed.This is not just about citizenship. It is about Black unity, accountability, and building a future rooted in justice.

⁣Last summer my wife, daughter and 3 of our Grandkids while
in Columbia visited San Basilio de Palenque, the first free settlement of
formerly enslaved Afrikans in the Americas who fled a life of enslavement.
Contrary to most history books, Ayati’s (Haiti) independence in 1804, occurred
more than 100 years after Palenque. Palenque is a unique place, famous for its Kmtyw
culture, language (unique blends of Portuguese, English, Twi, Gullah Geechee,
etc.) gastronomy and, of course, its HISTORY. They highly embrace education and
a very low crime rate. Uniquely all children must learn how to box, eliminating
‘beefs’ and other frictions, they are settled at the boxing facility.

They use the equivalent to the Mbongi, it’s called a Ma
kuagro. A communal meeting space that’s both a physical place and a social
institution, where the community gathers to deliberate, educate, provide aid,
resolve conflicts, decision‑making and maintain cultural
continuity.
