Ghana in Focus: Ghana's President calls for reparations @ UN General Assembly

<p>This week&apos;s edition of Ghana in Focus highlights two key aspects of the President of Ghana&apos;s address to the United Nations Assembly in New York.<br/><br/>The president demanded that reparations be paid by the Western nations who made huge profits from the so called Transatlantic Slave Trade.<br/><br/>He cites that the present day economic and social reality of Afrika is mainly due to the effects of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. <br/><br/>The President also highlighted that the wealth of the West was built on the backs of the blood, sweat, tears and inhumane treatment of Afrikan people including centuries of colonialism.<br/><br/>He then went on to state that the West should return the illicit amount of money that is illegally siphoned from the continent in outflows totalling some US$88 Billion annually.<br/><br/>Listen to the President of Ghana&apos;s speech: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX3kpzs-gYs'>(6) Reparations must be paid to Africa for slave trade - President Akufo-Addo - YouTube</a><br/><br/>Sponsor a Ghanaian farmer: <a href='https://www.growforme.com/en/home/'>Grow For Me | Now everyone can farm and trade!</a></p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1793098/support">Support the show</a><p>Donate/Support the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1793098/support<br/><br/>If you want to book an hour consultation session on relocating, doing business or investing in Ghana, please email ahodwo805@gmail.com<br/><br/>Follow me on Spotify podcasts - just look for the Ghana/Afrika in Focus podcast on Spotify and click follow so that every time I upload a new podcast it automatically comes to your feed. <br/><br/> Tell your family and friends.</p>
