WE ARE OUR OWN LIBERATORS

The issue of reparations should be put at the forefront of the
African agenda as the world commemorate the abolition of the slave
trade, however focus needs to be made on the Arab Slave trade which
is still going on as I write. As a black African I feel not much has
been written on slavery in the Arab world and the fate of the
Africans who were transported to Arab lands throughout the middle
east. Slavery, whether by Europeans or Arabs must be treated the same
and be condemned in equally strong terms and if reparations are to be
paid, the Arab world should also pay.
