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.
