Reparations to the descendants of African individuals who were captured on the continent of Africa, enslaved and transported to the Americas during the transatlantic slavery period of the 17th through 19th centuries to serve as the labour necessary to build businesses and create wealth in the Americas and for European nations, must provide sustainable benefits to these descendants, their future generations, as well as to the continent of Africa.
The Reparations for Settlement in Africa Project (RSAP) proposes the use of reparations to allow the beneficiaries, settlement on the African continent through facilitating transportation to Africa, access to land, housing, business pursuit and personal development in Africa. The process is open to all of the beneficiaries of reparations for transatlantic slavery and all member nations of the African Union (AU).
These are broad ranged and encompass several functions i.e. administration, research, diplomatic, liaison, information technology, e-communication, networking, data processing, forum for dialogue, capital management.
The plan of action is focused on achieving objectives via discussion, research and cooperation.
RSAP needs the cooperation of Governments, Caricom and the AU towards achieving its stated objectives.
We believe that we can achieve global publicity for RSAP and attract business oriented individuals and groups of individuals that will use proceeds of reparations for settlement in Africa. We see RSAP as the tool that can be used to connect the existing and future groups, globally, that desire and are working towards achieving settlement in Africa. We are continuing our leadership role as a Rastafari community in proposing RSAP to coordinate and mobilize the efforts needed to determine and allocate an amount of reparations capital to return displaced Africans to the continent of Africa.
