The African Diaspora: Role and Influence - Straight Talk Africa 

DIASPORA World Wide African diaspora Honduras and Central, South America the Caribbean and North America and Europe Africa diaspora Peace & Love! Am watching from Roatan Bay Islands, Honduras 1LoVe!

The continental Africans and the Diaspora are going to eventually get over their differences so don't worry. The shiny new cities and opportunities will take care of that. We need to shake off colonial conditioning and our children will be better than us

This is great watching from .Minnesota, USA

We should encourage our women to set the example for next generation of little girls,by not subscribing to a European standard of beauty.I admire the African woman who wears her natural elegant look. The African woman who teaches young boys to respect woman.

True success of Ethiopia is coming from the transformation from dictatorship to democracy led by Abdi Abi

Dr. Arikana must lead the AU. for Africa to benefit from the organization. She has the vision for a Independent Africa.

Wow look how many are already there. I can't wait till we join them.

Using the phrase AMERICAN DREAM, means YOU are STILL ASLEEP, or NOT PAYING ATTENTION. It's TIME to WAKE UP!

Thank you for this important topic to discuss. I am hoping the African Diaspora will open the eye of the African leaders to care more for their own people & continent than being a puppet of the richest countries to fulfill its own interests.

Don't forget about the African-American population as one of the anchors of the African Diaspora. I did not see a member of this population reflected on the panel or in the program videoclip intro.

Thank you for thiis topic. Diaspora we in you in Africa to support our leaders with this information and financial

The definition of diaspora in is not just the recent people who have left Africa it is inclusive to even the stolen people from Africa who are we turning. I don't like how they try to exclude the descendants of slaves as diaspora end but they are they come from Africa they are the descendants of Africans their bones of their ancestors are buried on the continent of Africa as well as the land of their captivity

The AU IS WHERE AFRICA POWERS LIES. We must make it a reality. Empower the AU. to work for Africa by demanding the leadership of Dr. Arikana as Chairman of the AU!!!

Such a marvellous interview ... Amazing insights these diaspora-speakers have about how to contribute to the upliftment of their parental continent... Africa has a superb nucleus of people & I can see a marvellous future for Afrika if Afrika unites into ONE CONTINENTAL NATION ... OMG look at the strengths awaiting to synergize & lift Afrika out of its difficulties ... But why doesn't the diaspora in the USA unite the African Continent with USA ? This thought always comes into my mind ... I mean Africa is intrinsically superior in natural resources & genetic superiority... So why not get Afrika to unite with US across the Atlantic ... 🦩🙋

Shouldn't We have secondary and university level Classes that vigorously address the preparation of Our next generation for leadership???

African Diasporas are Africans by nature no one can take away that. They don't need to explain themselves. We know they love Africa just that our contries are struggling with poverty and unemployment thus why they are leaving in Europe and West

So many American Africans don’t know about #Memorandum46 and I feel if they knew they would understand how it was a big agenda to keep us divided with Africans on the continent. It’s important for AAs to know this, I feel.

So True, Why can't Our students have university level classes addressing "Transfer of Power "

Thank you Africa! My heart is full with the love for descendants of slaves were stolen from Africa, our homeland. So grateful to hear that Africa is looking for us. They want us to come home to bring our skills, our talents, our innovation, resources & resilience. We can share our knowledge, a good fortune, ourselves to be a blessing to our home land. I decided to purse my doctoral degree before I relocate to Africa. I will be done in two years and look forward to coming home to help Africa & my African family thrive. See you soon Mother Africa & African family. I am also doing my best to learn Ibo language. I have not done my DNA so I don’t know where I came from. But I thought I can’t go wrong Learning a Nigerian language. The Nigerians in America have been so sweet and kind to me, teaching me about my food from Africa, how to dress like an African lady, and much more. I know there is a lot for me to learn about home, and I am ready.

Africans please let us learn to invest in our continent. We have a lot of people who are very educated but have no means of invention. No technology for our own development, African language to use for learning, everything we learn in foreign languages,

How to join?

As a socialist Nkrumah would have been in favor of workers cooperatives. With the income disparity increasing worldwide workers gaining control of the workplace is very important.

Let us Demands, not BEG!!!!

Interesting, @34’ the host comments that diaspora (new diaspora) are also black, like the African Americans in the Black Lives Matter movement. Despite the fact that the subject/title of the current discussion refers to ‘the African diaspora’, and in the introduction the African Union definition of diaspora is quoted, the host, at least, is conceptualising the diaspora as new/recent diaspora, not inclusive of old diaspora. Should old and new diaspora be goal-setting and problem solving separately? The intention of the discussion should be made very clear; Who is ‘African unity’ referring to? That would be useful to me, as old diaspora.

I wish all Black African woman would stop whereing these wig hats from India and China and be the way the almighty maid black to look.

If there is a country where they feel like African Americans or the diaspora people are really not welcome then it’s not problem, then African Americans or diaspora people should not support that country until they fully change there ways. Those countries should be named. People we are too close to start this nonsense do people understand that we are on the verge of bringing people together on a massive scale.

Are you people serious about the DIASPORA ? well am diasporan and I really want to go to Ghana Nigeria and Ethiopia with my skills and knowledge to help develop my land but I'm worried because I have families in these countries that are treated unfairly. They are contributing so much and can't even get citizen ship when we are the ones arvertizing AFRICA through music and poems. Blessed love to DR Arikana she is keeping me HOPE FULL...

So that hotel is dedicated to President Washington?

My Elohim how massive we have grown

This definition of a diaspora is not correct.
