Land, Resource of Self and Other Natural Resources: What of Economic Self-Determination?

Afrikan souls are naturally a self-determining people. It has been the norm throughout their continuum. Superlative civilisation established by this primary people of creation was the result. Being self-determined as a whole from age to age, it follows that the area of economic functioning was naturally included as a part of the Afrikan self-determined norm. Indeed, the economic formulation of:  Afrikan land + Resource of Self and Other Natural Resources = Functional Afrikan Economy was engaged as a mainstay feature of soul people’s life.  

According to a mainstream source the following is detail is offered:

“By economic self-determination I mean, very broadly, the capacity and space to determine the conditions of labour, production, acquisition, and distribution. This might apply to individuals who hope to determine both the type and conditions of their work and also how any resulting gains are distributed”.

Another mainstream source gives the following account:

“Economic self-determination gives peoples the ability to take control over their mineral resources and use those re- sources for their own ends. It is a fundamental norm on which broader rights realization is based”.

In order to give focus specifically to the Afrikan experience, elements from both sources can meaningfully be utilised. Additionally, alteration to each statement is also considered apt in combining details. As such, the following may be expressed:

“Afrikan economic self-determination relates to the capacity and space Afrikan people rightfully self-govern to determine the conditions of themselves, their production, their acquisitions and their means of distribution to realise their fullest flourishing and security. This can apply to the Afrikan self throughout its various levels and how Afrikan souls distribute their physical gains amongst themselves. At the base level, Afrikan economic self-determination gives Afrikan people the ability to take rightful control over their land, mineral and other resources and use those resources for their own ends. This is a fundamental norm which naturally services optimal Afrikan living here, there or elsewhere”.

Despite the efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill to derail or destroy the natural norm of Afrikan economic flourishing, only Afrikan souls themselves can realise their restoration and ascension. It is grotesquely abnormal for Afrikan souls to be fleeced of their self and other natural resources and kept underfoot with only tertiary aspects of ‘economy’ to consider or cast-off scraps of ‘economy’ to engage with.

This primary people of creation surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to realise who and what they are as the establishers of greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist and their eternal genius-flow. In this, self-knowledge is key and just as vital functioning of economy for this people is naturally self-determined, so too is learning and development of themselves. Wherever located and from whatever station, level or status Afrikan souls must surely take progressive steps forward in this regard. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.

Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is a wonderful part of the spiritual-cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. It takes place in the first week of June marking the time of significant occurrence both on the continent of Afrika and in the diaspora concerning Afrikan economy. Ujamaa Kiburi Siku as with the other observances on the Afrikan cultural calendar is just that – an observance. Therefore, wherever the Afrikan is whether at home, at a community gathering or elsewhere it can be observed.
