Why BENINOW?

“People of African descent are not simply distant members of our family. They are our children, our brothers, our sisters. They embody an essential part of our collective identity. By recognizing their right of return, we are saying to them: 'You have never ceased to belong to this land. Africa is your home, and we welcome you with open arms,'”  Olushegun Adjadi Bakari, Benin's Minister of Foreign Affairs - speech delivered at the UN General in New York, in September 2024.
