From DW News.

More than 12 million Africans were kidnapped and shipped to the Americas in the transatlantic slave trade from the 16th to the 19th century. This includes over two million who died during the crossing.
Northern Ghana was ONE focus of the trade in human lives: captives from communities in the north such as Nok in modern day Togo were brought to satellite slave markets like Saakpuli. Then they were marched to Salaga Slave Market where merchants would buy them and take them to the Coast where they left through points like the Door of No Return.
But centuries later that door is being flung open in the other direction — what began in 2019 as the Year of Return – celebrating and welcoming the Black diaspora. DW correspondent, Maxwell Suuk, accompanied one group during their emotional homecoming – he takes up the story in the caves of Nok.
