Pikworo (Slave Camp)

Pikworo (Slave Camp) is a 'holding ground" in the upper east region of Ghana, West Africa. Pikworo was established by Samori and Babatu Zato both who were infamous slave raiders during the nineteenth century. They collaborated with the European nations who were behind the African Holocaust of Enslavement Complex.
