Lack is an alien concept to Africa. We lived in abundance, but for capitalism to gain a foothold, lack had to be introduced ecomomia means lack, in a lack economy everyone is trying to achieve by suppressing someone else. This is not the Alkebulan way. We need to get back to way of Abundance. #Ubuntu The Emerging Alkebulan (Alkebulan Innovative Foundation) is about building a community where every African in the Diaspora and on the continent are empowered. We have everything we need, but what we lack is the unity of purpose and self love. Who taught us to hate ourselves? We are here because our minds have been messed up. We have been brainwashed to look at each other as enemies. But what needs to happen is for us look at each other as community builders, let's do the work to empower ourselves. Then unite against the scourges that want to see us bickering amongst ourselves for them to continue to exploit our differences which continues to keep us down. Time to build our collective communal empowerment community. Time to build #Africa in #Ubuntu

Powerful reminder Thanks for sharing Tayo Ajimoko
🔺Trigger image. #TBT 📌 This is an image of the late Pauline Opango Lumumba, wife of the great Patrice Lumumba, one of Africa's finest leaders and the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). 📌 Pauline Lumumba carried out a bare-chested public protest following her husband’s assassination, demanding the return of his body for a proper and honorable burial. (Notice the caption in the newspaper clipping, which reads: “Gone were the Paris Frocks.”). This reflects the mockery and total disregard for African and Black grief and pain. In her act of defiance, Pauline walked 10 kilometers through Léopoldville (now Kinshasa) from the “African Section” to the United Nations headquarters, bare-breasted and holding her son in her arms. In other photographs, she is joined by other women who also bared their chests in solidarity, with men following behind them in support. Pauline Lumumba was only 24 years old at the time. After this courageous protest, Pauline and her children were forced to flee to a refugee camp before eventually going into exile in Egypt. The United Nations, despite her bold demands, failed to acknowledge or respond to her protest. In 2020—60 years later—a Belgian court ruled that Patrice Lumumba’s remains, consisting of a single tooth taken to Belgium as a “diabolical” trophy, could finally be returned to the DRC for burial. African women have always wielded their voices powerfully, using various methods such as strikes, boycotts, military resistance, the symbolic act of baring their chests, or “sitting on a man,” to demand justice and push for social change. #TATHOTS #Afriphile Source: OdunIfe History IG

Kwame Nkrumah's letter to Amílcar Cabral emphasized the vital importance of African unity. Kwame Nkrumah offered a prescient warning; his foresight proved accurate. The subsequent events have led to our current circumstances. The infiltration and global agendas targeting Africa were successful due to early compromises. As a result, we have faced persistent challenges. He cautioned against African nations becoming complacent within their boundaries, as established by the Berlin Conference. He advocated for immediate African collaboration before entrenched divisions took hold. Nkrumah was a staunch advocate for Pan-Africanism, the vision of a unified Africa. His famous declaration: "Africa must unite!" remains relevant. The Casablanca Group, formed in Casablanca, Morocco in 1961, comprised seven African nations: Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea, Libya, Mali, and Morocco. The Casablanca Group, guided by left-leaning leaders including Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, aimed to establish a federation encompassing all African countries. The divergence between the Casablanca Group and the Monrovia Group, led by Senghor of Senegal, resulted in the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1963. Nkrumah led the Casablanca Group, which wanted to immediately establish a pan-African army to fight colonialism and white minority rule. Nkrumah argued that a continental government would allow Africa to compete with other economic blocs and political unions. The Monrovia Group also met in 1961 to discuss the future of the continent: •Liberia •Ivory Coast •Cameroon •Senegal •Malagasy Republic: Now Madagascar •Togo •Dahomey: Now Benin •Chad •Niger •Upper Volta: Now Burkina Faso •Congo Brazzaville •Central Africa Republic Gabon •Ethiopia •Libya •Nigeria •Sierra Leone •Somalia •Tunisia The Monrovia Group favored a more moderate approach than the Casablanca Group, which advocated for political unity and continental integration. The Monrovia Group preferred a less formal alliance focused on economic cooperation and a gradual unification process, and did not endorse political federation. It is apparent that the Monrovia Group's advocacy for a less structured alliance was successful, thereby hindering Kwame Nkrumah's vision of a pan-African union. The unification of Africa is now of paramount importance. Our survival as a continent depends on our ability to collaborate economically, politically, educationally, culturally, and technologically, and to establish a robust security and military infrastructure. Our divisions continue to benefit those who seek to exploit our differences. #Africaunite #AfricanUnity #StrengthInUnity #Africa #Africadiaspora #AlkebulanAwakening #AlkebulanRenaissance

Why is Zimbabwe Compensating the British Colonisers 🤔 🙄 Please make it make sense to me ladies and gentlemen 😳 Why are we paying for the privilege of being oppressed 🤔 Why is Africa always the butt of bad decisions and bad compromising policies? Are there going to policies and decisions made to ever favour Africa and Africans? ZIMBABWE COMPENSATING BRITISH COLONIALISM? Land and Zimbabwe. Like Siamese twins, the two are often mentioned together. That's because the southern African nation of 16.7 million has had land at the centre of its politics and economy since attaining independence from Britain in 1980. Known as Southern Rhodesia (in memory of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes, of "Cape to Cairo" infamy) before independence, Zimbabwe became home to many White farmers emigrating from the UK, South Africa and some European countries. Under British colonial rule, White settlers acquired huge ranches that contributed to the country's agricultural output, making Zimbabwe the region's bread basket. Long-serving president Robert Mugabe (1924-2019) skilfully leveraged the land issue to maintain his grip on power. In the early 2000s, he initiated a radical land-repossession programme to bolster support for his ruling party. This move, however, resulted in severe sanctions from Western countries, leading to a prolonged economic crisis. As our man Kenneth Kaigua reports, Zimbabwe must now address another land-related issue before international creditors are willing to assist in reviving its economy.

BIDEN'S REAL AGENDA IN ANGOLA Biden's gone to Angola for the loot, specifically for minerals like cobalt and copper necessary for powering devices and electric vehicles. That's educator George Lee Jr's blunt assessment of US President Joe Biden's 11th-hour visit to Angola on 2 December. The outgoing president’s tour will include the $5 billion Lobito Corridor, a key infrastructure project co-funded by the United States and the European Union that connects Angola's port of Lobito on the Atlantic coast to the mineral-rich Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Zambia via a 1,300-kilometre railway. Lee argues the project will only hasten the exploitation of Angola and the DRC. It's part of Washington's effort to counter China's economic clout in Africa. Angola's strategic location on the southwest coast of Africa has long made it a key player in international affairs. It's a convenient export point for goods from Central Africa to the West. However, it's also been central to significant historical events, including a proxy war between Cold War rivals. Moscow backed the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) led by Agostinho Neto, while Washington supported the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) and its offshoot, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), led by Jonas Savimbi. The civil war began in 1975 and ended in 2002. Following the war's end, China provided infrastructure development loans that sped up Angola's economic recovery. In turn, China gained access to Angola's oil industry, which now supplies 72 per cent of its output to China. Given China's heavy investments in the region's mining industry, the jury is out on whether Washington can catch up with Beijing.
