Overview
The Global African Diaspora Kingdom, a non-profit organization established to foster a united global Africa committed to the development and advancement of Africa and its diaspora, is pleased to announce the Journey of Reconnection Part III in traditional kingdoms in Kenya and Uganda from 13 October – 2 November 2024, in collaboration with AIDO Network International.
Integral to the reparatory justice agenda which has been championed by the CARICOM Reparations Commission since 2013, is recognition of the need for psychological healing, cultural and spiritual reconnection of Africans in the diaspora to the motherland, having been forcefully separated from the African continent through the brutal system of capture, trafficking and enslavement, perpetrated by Europeans for over 300 years. The separation caused a traumatic loss of language, community, culture, spirituality, names and the important tradition of royalty. Further, systemic racism resulting from the heinous practice of slavery, continues to hinder the advancement of Africans globally.
AIDO Network International that brings 645 kingdoms in Africa together, as well as other stakeholders in culture, education and human rights in Africa and Europe, has facilitated the recognition of over 50 persons in the diaspora who have been welcomed back home by indigenous leaders across the continent.
