Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama
By Sensible Sue
The ancestors are speaking, and this time, they are not whispering. They are roaring through the corridors of power, rattling the bones of empires, and calling the world to account. On September 25, 2025, at the United Nations General Assembly, the earth itself seemed to pause as African leaders stood together, not as beggars, not as former colonies, but as the original stewards of civilization, demanding justice. Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, declared that the Transatlantic Slave Trade was “the greatest crime against humanity,” and announced a formal motion for reparative justice on behalf of Africans and their descendants around the world. He said it plainly and powerfully: “Reparatory justice is not about pity. It is about recognition, responsibility, and restitution.” And in that moment, you could almost hear the applause of the ancestors, the ones who were stolen, silenced, and buried in unmarked graves, rising to bear witness. Because this was not just a speech it was a summoning.
A Prophecy Fulfilled
The Bible said: “The meek shall inherit the earth.” For centuries, the meek has been mocked, chained, and dismissed. But now, they are remembering who they are, the descendants of kings and queens, builders and thinkers, visionaries and prophets. This moment was not born from politics; it was born from prophecy. When Ghana’s president spoke, he did not stand alone. He stood on the shoulders of millions; the ones whose blood watered the soil of the Americas, whose sweat built the palaces of Europe, and whose labor made empires rich. The meek are no longer bowing. They are standing. And as they stand, they are shaking the foundations of the world.
The Cleansing Power of Truth
Truth is a medicine; bitter at first, but it heals the soul.
For too long, the world has tried to live on lies, pretending that slavery was an unfortunate chapter instead of a calculated enterprise; that colonization was a mission of mercy instead of organized theft. But the truth always rises. It seeps through time, cracks through stone, and exposes the rot. Truth cleanses. It purifies. It sets the captives and the guilty free. The colonizers knew this. That’s why they went to such extraordinary lengths to hide it. Why do you think the nose is missing from the Sphinx? Why were statues defaced, and artifacts “lost”? Why are so many African relics sitting behind glass in European museums labeled “discoveries”?
Because the truth didn’t fit the fairytale they told the world that Europe birthed civilization, that Africa was a dark continent waiting to be saved. No, the truth was too radiant. The truth had too much melanin. The truth wore crowns long before the first European learned to read. So, they chiseled away the evidence. They reimagined the past in their own image. They rewrote history books and called it education. They erased faces from the walls of pyramids, stole artifacts, renamed gods, and called theft heritage. But here’s what they didn’t count on, you can bury artifacts, but you cannot bury energy. You can whitewash the walls, but not the spirits behind them. The ancestors are speaking, and their message is clear: lies no longer have merit. Because truth is a locomotive barreling down the track, and anyone standing in its way will become the grease for the wheels.
The Reckoning and the Warning
At this moment, this African-led call for global reparations is not just political. It is spiritual.
It is written. And it is unfolding exactly as the ancestors ordained. For those trying to erase African American history in the United States, take heed. For every book you ban, ten more truth-tellers are born. For every classroom you censor, a thousand creators rise with pens, cameras, and microphones as their weapons. The more you try to silence the truth, the louder it becomes. This coordinated movement by African nations is a warning and a revelation, a reminder that what was hidden will be uncovered, what was denied will be declared, and what was stolen will be restored. The same divine current that led Harriet Tubman through the woods, that spoke courage into Frederick Douglass, that thundered in Dr. King’s dream, is moving again. And it’s global.
Recognition, Restoration, and Return
Ghana’s motion calls for three pillars of reparations:
Direct financial compensation, Environmental restoration, and the return of stolen cultural property. This isn’t about guilt, it’s about balance. It’s about righting what was made wrong, returning what was taken, and healing what was broken.
The descendants of the enslaved and the colonized are not asking for charity; they are demanding justice. Because justice, like truth, does not expire. Across continents, from the Central African Republic to Bolivia, voices are joining in unity, demanding restoration for the plunder of land, the looting of resources, and the theft of humanity itself. This is the most powerful global appeal for reparations ever witnessed. And as it echoes through the halls of the U.N., it reverberates through every corner of the diaspora, through Harlem and Havana, through Lagos and London, through Kingston and Kinshasa. The world is being forced to reckon not just with its history, but with its conscience.
It Is Written — And So It Is
This is not just a historical correction; it’s a spiritual awakening. No nation, no government, no billionaire is strong enough to stand against the voices of the ancestors. Empires fall when truth returns home.
And the truth is coming home.
The meek are rising. The ancestors are speaking. The earth is remembering. And the world is watching as justice, long delayed, begins to thunder forward. The lies have had their time.
Now, truth is on the move; unstoppable, undeniable, and divinely ordained. Because it is written. And so it is.
