Who are the African Diaspora?

What does the word Diaspora mean? The term diaspora comes from an ancient Greek word meaning "to scatter about." A Diaspora is a people have been dispersed from their homeland often through a traumatic event, what we call The Maafa. The Maafa is the  African Holocaust, Holocaust of Enslavement, or Black Holocaust are political neologisms popularized from 1988 onwards and used to describe the history and ongoing effects of atrocities inflicted on African people, particularly when committed by non-Africans (Europeans and Arabs to be exact, specifically in the context of the history of slavery, including the Trans-Saharan slave trade, Indian Ocean slave trade and Atlantic slave trade) which continues to the present day through imperialism, colonialism and other forms of oppression (Wikipedia)
