Amka Afrika

The rise of the continent of Africa is imminent, it is ongoing and it is unstoppable. For a long time now, the land that is the home of the Black Man has been downtrodden, allowed only to eat the scraps, the leftovers from the white man's rule.

This is changing.

We are seeing more nations of Africa freeing themselves from the bondage of complete dependence and servility to nations of Europe and the Americas. Our people are standing tall.

But this cannot be one man's dream. Nor can one nation go it alone in the process of gaining complete autonomy from the rule that keeps him serving the selfish ends of corporations.

We must unite. We must unite not only to move forward, but also to survive. It is imperative that the nations of Africa see themselves as a brotherhood for the black soul. One nation alone will not survive the onslaught that is coming to anyone that dares challenge the status quo. We have seen what happened to those who dared go alone in the liberation of Africa: Muammar Gaddafi, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Steve Biko, Samora Machel, John Garang, Sankara. These are men who dared the powers that be, and they did not live to tell the story.

But our hearts will not be cowered. Where our ancestors have failed, we must learn why; we must take the lessons and apply them to the 21st century. We must consider all the enemies of our development, we must take into account all those who profit from the misery of our people: the oil companies that pillage our wealth, the foreigners who own the most fertile of our lands, the "donors" who perpetuate the cycle of beggars.

We must stand together and feed our people. We must not export a single ounce of food before every person in Africa has had enough to eat and drink. Our production should be to meet the local demand of our people. We must take as an act of war and aggression any nation that sells food out of Africa before our people are satiated. And we must deal with this nation in a manner to curtail such behavior in future.

A billion people are enough to fulfill the needs of every major enterprise on our continent. We should produce for Afrika. We have the knowledge, skills and technology required for this. After all, our people have helped build the European nations, through slavery or voluntary emigration.

We call upon all the black people residing in Eurasia and the Americas to come back home. This is where you belong, this is your heritage, Afrika is both your motherland and fatherland. Afrika needs you, it needs each and every one of you if there's to be any type of development.

Afrika must rise, Afrika will rise!
