British Queen Victoria started human trafficking under the guise of adoption.
LONDON, United Kingdom.(News of the South)-The painful story of an African, Sarah Forbes Bonetta (born Aina) a child of Yoruba Royal family and Princess of the Egbado people shows clearly that the British Queen started international human trafficking.
Princess Sarah was taken as a slave by King Ghezo after her family was brutally killed.
It is important to note that her siblings and parents were killed in a brutal slave raiding and capturing war at the instigation of Europeans.
Slavery and slave trade were initiated by the colonialists and the British Queen Victoria was the chief beneficiary and perpetrator.
King Ghezo raided for slaves to supply to the British who had an insatiable appetite for African slaves, seen as less important human beings.
Queen Victoria accepted Sarah as a gift. It is surprising how an innocent African child can be donated to foreigners who were not related to her by any slightest of imagination.
The Queen should have known better that the little child was innocent and was supposed to be returned and reunited by her people.
The young survivor was kidnapped and later on trafficked thousands of miles to UK against the consent of her ancestors, culture and people, thus against her will.
The African culture has social safety nets in form of extended family members and even community members who could have taken excellent care of their own as opposed to kidnapping and human trafficking under the guise of adoption.
When the child grew up among the foreigners, the royal blood bestowed in her kept on shining as she proved to be a brilliant daughter who excelled in foreign schools where she learnt weaned away from her culture.
No one can dispute the true fact that she was being looked down upon as a second class black child from pagan Africa and thus suffered but endured segregation and racism both at school and home.
Colonial historians want us to believe that the Queen was so benevolent to kidnap an African child and traffic her to the UK and introduce her to modernity.
That argument is far from the truth, it was a heartless way of destroying African Royal families and making the African Prince a slave at the British Palace- signifying total domination of British over African culture and dignity.
African Palaces were equally if not better organised than those of greedy colonialists who couldn’t manage their resources well forcing them to cross dangerous seas and oceans to come to Africa to commit heinous crimes against humanity.
Africans deserve compensation from Europeans as they benefited by looting our wealth to develop their economies and stole our intellectual property in form of medicines and many more.
We deserve compensation and formal apology from Europeans as the crimes they committed continue to haunt Africans today and future generations.
