Mikono ya Afrika – Hands of Afrika

The Creator Supreme bestowed upon the Afrikan  the most gifted hands of humanity. The superlative genius flow expressed through the prehensility or openness of the hands of the Afrikan soul are antenna of the ethereal and the appendages of love, nurture, care, growth, creativity, innovation, development, protection, guidance and endless array of magnificence. Afrikan hands raised from the arms positioned at right angles to the body represent the Ka (destiny and spark of divine intelligence). Afrikan hands are the moulders of first, greatest and longest-lived civilisations of the world. The grand cultivation of sacred soil and of the sacred self comes through the hands in powerful oneness of Afrikan substance. The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey mightily missioned the restoration of vast multitudes of Afrikan hands to their natural prolific essence in service of global self-betterment. The re-connection to sacred soil, the great pantheon of Afrikan ancestorship and ethereal power are enlivened with the imperative thrust of the Garveyite continuum. This is a phenomenal inheritance for Afrikans in the now and eternity to claim and develop with. In the celebration of Musa Siku as a part of the Musa Msimu observance, hands are placed upon soil in connection with each other in ritual to energise and power of this mighty Afrikan appendage. Hands symbolise the holistic continuum of Afrikan life: then, now and future; physically and ethereally; the oneness and connection of one Afrikan to the next and with the sacred soil of centrality on Earth; all in the imperative mission for global Afrikan ascendancy. The Kiswahili word for hands is Mikono. The phrase Mikono ya Afrika means hands of Afrika.

The barbarous genocidal foreign savage has invaded and unleashed monstrous hell upon Afrikan souls during the Maafa of recent centuries. Afrikan hands were viciously severed from Afrikan limbs in a relentless horror of butchery. Multitudes upon multitudes of hands have been cut off simply for being attached to the Afrikan soul living in the natural state of freedom. From the very young to the more senior non-compliance with the alien enslaving, colonising brute meant loss of limb or worse. The maniacal murderous vagabond pirates gloated in image after image with his criminal beastly self standing in front of mass piles of Afrikan hands cruelly sheared off from the body. Or, boastfully parading Afrikan victims kept alive void of their hands as trophies of this despicable atrocity. One of the major resources the vile and desperate alien criminal lusted to thieve as impetus for these odious crimes was rubber. The vile bloodthirsty brute would stop at nothing to rip resource from sacred Afrikan soil.

Rubber remains huge commodity throughout the world. As the Afrikan  drives a foreign motor vehicle, is a passenger in a foreign motor vehicle or sees a foreign motor vehicle passing by, the chills of horror must surely resonate in the soul. The tyres upon which the wheels rotate are products of rubber extraction regardless of how prestigious, luxurious or projected as a symbol of pseudo-success the vehicle happens to be. Void of taking into account all of the other resource extracting ills necessary to manufacture alien road vehicles, the history of rubber being ripped from sacred Afrikan soil alone is a history foreign criminal terror. This is not some a call for immediate abandonment of such vehicles especially in light of functional necessities of contemporary existence. However, there is surely mission-compelling reminders of stark reality in the everyday occurrence (of just one resource example of the huge array that are at the basis of foreign empowerment economically and otherwise) of the Afrikan having to endure the horror of alien imposition.

Significantly, Afrikan resources utilised for Afrikan self-development and the self-determined production requirements for itself is a powerful Afrika.  Afrikan people throughout the world wherever located are wonderfully restoring the knowingness of the divine self and utilising their genius filled hands of the most gifted order to bring about ascendancy in their immediate locale and beyond. The observance of Musa Msimu with its Musa Siku celebration continues the spirit thrust for the full flourishing of a whole people. Through self-love and self-determined nurture, care, growth, creativity, innovation, development, protection, guidance and endless array of magnificence the mighty Mikono ya Afrika are realised.

The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
