"The togetherness of indigenous Africa and the Diaspora can produce a formidable human resource capable of embarking on great technological advancement, structuring world-class educational reforms and transforming the sons and daughters of Africa to become men and women of the letter."
However, The most important and profound aspects of the Year of Return that is somehow not acknowledged, in particular, by a Nation who lives, works, eat and sleep religion; is the elimination and/or rejection of the prophetic and spiritual implications and fulfillments of the Restoration and Freedom from 400 Years of bondage prophesized in the Holy Bible.
"There are two (2) major kinds of African Diaspora. There are the Continental African Diaspora and the History African Diaspora. The former’s fate is of will, and the latter’s fate is of the greatest crime against humanity: slavery. Continental African Diasporas are found all over the world in search of new environments, prosperous tendencies, higher education, greener pastures etc. On the other hand, Historical African Diasporas are victims of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade that transported a ballpark figure of 12.5 million to the U.S.A, and others to different parts of Europe."
"The convergence of African minds, hearts, and hands can redeem Africa of some of the dire lasting effects of colonialism and the Berlin Conference of 1855, where some European countries gathered to decide an ill-fate for Africa and its economies."

The above excerpts is from an article written by Dufie Boakye. The article not only spells out the differences in the two types of Diasporas, as they pertain to this Year of Return, in my opinion, it captures the heart of the Pan African Vision for a United Africa.
While many Africans are oblivious to the "Historical Diaspora"; those coined by the historical Diasporian Community as HUG by Kohain Nathanyah HaLevi of CRAAAG, Executive Officer of PANAFEST and Administrator of the Pan African Diaspora Coalition was adopted.
The term a Historically Unique Group (HUG) was adopted as a means to clarify the differences in two distinct groups of Diasporas. This was not an attempt to separate the African from the Africans of Diaspora but to identify their unique experiences and flagrant injustices sustained as a result of slavery and the injustices in foreign lands. This is so a place would be made for those of HUG as to not continue to fall through the cracks in our Mother Land.
It is hoped that this historical group of Diasporas would be treated as Africans, not foreigners in the repatration and immigration process. It is also hoped that concessions would be made for those of HUG just as other Diasporas living or visiting Ghana/Africa.
An article taken from the CRAAAG NEWS REVIEW - Can We Get a Hug?
"Year end for CRAAAG marked a new beginning of empowerment for Diasporas home and abroad.
The acronym HUG, Historically Unique Group is the language adopted for the Diasporas, versus the sometimes offensve language, was introduced by Rabbi Kohain Halevi at the Diaspora Unity Meeting organized by the Office of Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President in Accra in November.

Members of the Universal Pan African Coaltion of Ghana were represented (by unamious vote) with Rabbi Halevi asking the distinguished Panel questions submitted by individuals and members of the Coalition.
The Panel consisted of the Hon. Akwasi Ababio and his assistant from Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President, Madame Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Botchwey, the Director and Assistant Director of Ghana Immigration Services and chaired by Kofi Appong Busdu.

The acronym HUG has significance as Africans have not truly recognized the Diasporas as African or considered them to be an integral part of African History.
As a result of the rejections, the Diaspora has been treated as foreigners and aliens--Oburoni in their own Motherland.
Diasporas should be embraced with a welcoming hug as they repatriate home. There should be special consisderations and concessions that are not accorded them as African Returnees.
The Africans of Diasporas are coming home. Many by Divine Mandate and are staking claim to our God-given inheritance." ~ Priestess El Ahora 'Ama' Yah Asantewaa
