It made me cry at the end 😭 even though I was born and raised in Africa. So proud of Ghana for starting this initiative 👏🏾 much love from Somalia 🇸🇴
In fact am very happy to see our brothers and sisters coming back home our motherland Ghana 🇬🇭
You may have left your home forcefully, but Africa never left you, for you are finally back home. This is so beautiful it makes me cry. You will always be welcome back home with open arms and lots of love. 💞
Welcome home, you can stay as long as you want, Ghana is your birthright, take every opportunity that present itself to you, open your eyes opportunity is all arround. We love you all.
Thank you so much for saying that. It means so much to me to hear that from a citizen of Ghana. We in the U.S. need some comfort and understanding. Living in the U.S. means our lives are filled with racism and discrimination. It's nice to know that we have a place of refuge in Ghana. I'm hoping to come in December - I'm going to kiss the ground and cry tears of joy.
@@soulshadoww55 will be waiting for you. And I want to see you
I am Ethiopian love to see all African in america or Europe come back home and learn their roots culture,
Am Ugandan but I thank Ghana for this initiative... May we other African countries continue to participate as well... God bless
You country needs to promote itself more like this as one that's welcoming African Americans. It will benefit from their skills knowledge organisation investments and they will help it improve its standards.
You need to visit Ghana.....
Well said sister from Uganda. About time we start talking like brothers and sisters and not just people who happen to live next to each other. We should all welcome them in open arms. It's a big deal. A sad story but we will give it a happy ending.
You are right
Iam Ugandan living in USA and married to African American,but I know the pain these people feel as they search for their identity. All he wants is us to go back buy land and settle in Uganda .wen we was watching Akon's documentary of solar project back in his motherland, my husband's wish was that if every African American wld borrow alleaaf, pay attention to working together regarding locating their identity n celebrate to be back home. Africa is one of the most blessed continents on planet earth and their is great opportunity from its naturally resources. ..
Welcome home! Bear in mind you are never slaves but royals. All the resources of Africa belongs to you so help tap it. Africa must assume it's rightful place on earth as ordained by God almighty.
Come home N'zambi children, im an Afrikan born and bread and I really love all my brothers and sisters from Afrika born in the diaspora.
Come home.
I'm a grown man and I bet i would shed a tear once I arrive to the motherland
We can't wait to receive you :)
I felt overwhelming and tears for this great things, as far as you're black you're an African
Brother Bob say no matter where you come from has long you are a Blackman you are an African
Kim Davis I’m from the Caribbean and would Iove to visit the motherland one day
Welcome home to the motherland, my brothers and sisters. We love you.
Blessings

See here, once again it's the Great Ghana that has started it BEFORE any other country. We're always first to everything when it comes to originality. The rest will follow. Ghana will become the envy of the world but we doing this for the rest of the continent to follow. One people. One dream. Let's end the division forced upon us. Love Ghana. Love africa.

Oh am a Nigeria but am very happy to see what Ghana government is doing to help our people that was forcefully taking away from their land. May God bless you all as you come back home. Because no matter what their is no place like home. One ❤️🙏 to all African
Awusa/Fulani people don mess up Nigeria kpata kpata...no brains but they won't leave the corridors of power make people wey dey use theirs do something for the country. See what presidents with brains do for their country (Ghana). Meanwhile the only thing this awusa/fulani president knows and thinks about is RUGA.
We Love You And We Do Welcome You To The Motherland❤❤❤❤❤❤....I cried along...am sorry.

Kwesi Arthur Why politicise this? I’m not NDC but this is even less than 5% market share of our general problems. So please, wake up. We are a woke generation. Great policy! But nothing political here.

Lol.
@@HM-sx6mg I told you to get lost white boy you have no business here
This is beautiful I love it lol welcome home our brother and sisters welcome to west Africa. This a big huge continent feel free to travel on the continent once again you're welcome.
It’s so beautiful as well as great that our masses coming back home to our mama and that’s Africa. I have been fortunate enough to go to Ghana 4 times. I love our capital Accra, our nightlife over there is nice and bright too. Also in Accra, there are nice houses, schools, hotels, beaches, sports stadiums etc. I went to our restaurant to have a nice plate of jollof rice with jerk chicken and fried plantains.
One day I will visit Ghana....
Well come to your home one Africa one nation
Lucky Dube song said he knows where he comes from that is why he believes in the ocean , meaning Africa American
I cannot make it through these videos without crying 😩
What a moving experience that must be for those visitors. I almost teared up with those ladies when they were crying after coming out of the dark rooms. Africans from all over the world, we must learn to trust each other, love each other, embrace each other's diffences. Understand that in this world we're living in, nobody likes us, everybody wants to exercise some level of racism or discrimination against us. *United we stand, divided we fall *
Ghana the heart of Africa . We love u Ghana.
Welcome to Tanzania too.. We hope our President Magufuli..will say something..
We need to connect to Africa, we need Africa, all them Chinese, Arabs and whites that have business in the black community look out for their countries, every non black in America still have love for their countries, we as blacks in America should have love for Africa.
God African! I love my people!

Let's make "gate of no return" intö: I'M Back Mama( dat's what I say every time In visit Motherland.( shopping to to see which country, to settle in) Asè
It is never too late! It is well...! We shall overcome...!
Akwaaba oo our brothers and sisters
It's gesture to follow 4 all other African nations. Not only African Americans but any1 of african heritage who lives outside the continent should be allowed to return unconditionally. I am a Somali with love 4 my kind.
No one in the west related too Somalia or Ethiopia
I'm proud of my country Ghana nanadjan italy
Can't control my tears 😭
God is happy now to seeing his people back home..one love for great people white or black we are all one family's in the name of Jesus Amen
You are still worshiping the European Jesus huh? Man wake the fuck up!
No such person ever existed!
God bless you Africa 🌍
That woman kissing the ground makes me cry!
That was a man with dread locks not a woman
Can't wait to travel next year.
You stole my profile pic 😂 😂😂😂😂😂 lol JK
In fact am so much proud of my country Ghana... High esteem our heritage won fr us God bless Ghana God bless our motherland..
I also cried when I visited the cape coast castle ..where the slave were kept and sent way.....especially when we got the room called a place of no return.......
I'm so glad I watched this because my personal experience with Africans has not been pleasant especially my sisters I'm so sad to say We are not here by choice but by force and it seems like we are judged by our own people it's like we African Americans have no home at all we are not welcomed here and in many parts of Africa we are not welcomed home either Again I needed to see this thanks for posting
Welcome home we love you all
How amazing!! I will come home to visit!!
Much love from the states .
Welcome back my brothers and sisters please don't be afraid to come back to your motherland.We love you all
Oh mern, I love this..
One love Mama Africa
So deep and emotional I can't stop crying. Finally our brothers and cousins are knowing the truth which has always be beat our hearts anytime we think about it. And which is more painful when instead of recognizing the wrong deeds they are covering it saying that our ancestors were sold by their own parents. Please this times are very emotional and historical for our brothers and sisters from the diaspora...And well done to the PRESIDENT OF GHANA , all our KINGS and all the members of all the organizations. And because this is emotional and historical for our brothers and sisters who have been waiting for the moment longtime and because they got
"the message". Humbly speaking please can we make around the castles and other place more safe for them? this places are memorial places. They are there to buy foods to eat or clothes to wear there. We are going to make them miss the message. We can build tourism side or market in the city where if they want they can go buy Africa clothes and foods( suggestion) and also avoid talking about economic impact in the city so that it will not seem to be the reason of our
" message".( of course it going to be economic impact) but....be wise our brothers are crying deeply.....thanks.
You are all welcome brothers and sisters of the diaspora as you can see this is the truth, people are truth and everything. It's not fake this is home your home. GOD bless you all we love you.
miawoezor loo!!🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤❤
nice. you guys are beautiful. awesome. God bless you all. amen

I love this
Welcome home Kings and queens 👑❤️❤️❤️
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭We love u allll 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢💓
I think all black people in the diaspora owe thier ancestors this obligation to visit Africa, and make a connection. Imagine the souls of those who drowned in the ocean, toiled on the plantations, and hounded down by the adversary trying to escape,...... look down from heaven to finally see thier descendants step foot into where they should have been all along but for faith. I'm Nigerian and I support this message. Come home invest your potential, and feel free walking amongst your people. In other news please Southafrica stop with xenophobic attacks on other nationalities, there was no boundaries until the European powers decided to divide Africa for thier selfish interests.
I been to Nigeria I loved it !!
Brought tears these ppl stripped away our identities how can we say we love them is beyond me i have so much haterd n my heart behind this to know n america we ONLY a color nothing more
Home sweet home🇬🇭❤️🙏
It's so painful to see how our people were treated in such cave
Also you are welcome to east africa , visit mt kenya, zamzibar ,maasai mara,tz, amboseli,rwanda ,ug ,ethiopia

Great job
One Vibration- One Africa
Thanks
great job, this is indeed a new arising for Africa and our brothers, sisters, mothers ad fathers long taken away from the motherland., can someone please tell the title of the music on the background?, i can so much relate with the song.
WOW!!!
Am proud to be an African
Luv ❤️ 😍 💖
This is great. Ni nzuri sana. Karibuni ndunga na kina dada Nyumbani Africa. I hope my African Latina people got the message. Infact we as Africans should arrange for a repatriation programme to help the African Latinos in Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Argentina back to Africa as a matter of urgency. I was in this places and I did like the severe racism towards our people. I lived in Taxco, Guerrero, near Iguala. There are Afro Mexicans in these areas all the way to Vera Cruz. In northern Colombia the situation was really bad with the war in their neighbourhood. The case in Brazil needs a different approach. The African people are a majority, about 54% , there problem is poverty and the self hate that has been incalculated in them. All is needed is awareness programs so that they can turn out and vote in large numbers. Then they will contro the policy making and formulation in Brasil. All the same Karibu wote Nyumbani. Kiswahili must be learned as our African and African diaspora continental language.
I be there in July
Crying still....
