Sherehe Kwa Watoto (Celebrating the Young)

The Creator Supreme has blessed the Afrikan with abundant substance of life including the ability to experience creation and development of life itself with the coming forth of young ones. The precious new souls that are nurtured, groomed and shaped to magnify their superlative specialness ever increasingly with the coming of more senior years. Those that are more senior (who themselves have been blessed with the guiding hands of those guided before them) shape the genius filled young Afrikan spirit in excellency. Thus, the imperative spiritual and cultural cycles of the grand self-determined Afrikan continuum yields eternal ascendancy for this magnificent people. In celebrating the observance of Musa Msimu, (as with observance throughout the annual Afrikan calendar cycle) young ones are of central importance. The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey restored the Afrikan wisdom tradition in a powerful way lifting the youthful souls in mission for liberty and nationhood with Juvenile Divisions of holistic growth and development in preparation for Afrikan-centred adulthood throughout the Afrikan world. This powerful essential is celebrated and energised during the observance of Musa Msimu in which time is reserved for the enlivenment and celebration of sacred first fruits. This can take place in a number of creative ways. One such way is the holding of a children’s party or other celebratory sessions in preparation of main community observance activity and in preparation of more senior life to come. The Kiswahili word for children is Watoto. The Kiswahili word for celebration is Sherehe.

There is no doubt that the wicked genocidal, enslaving, colonising foreign brute has unleashed disastrous disruptive hell during the Maafa of recent centuries. This has caused havoc in the natural development cycles for the precious young ones of Afrika. In an alien world of terror where Afrikan youth can be openly slaughtered, brutalised or caged for having the audacity of breathing air is an abomination beneath the most foul and sacrilegious disorder. The foreign savage criminal vagabond pirate has vilely attempted to mis-station the Afrikan and Afrikan youth at levels below the animal life that they have turned into pets of ‘best friend’ companionship. Compounded with all manner of the bogus imagery, foul play and mis-engineering the abject maltreatment and horror imposed upon Afrikan young ones persists.

Insidiously, the talons of the enemy culture vulture swoop upon Afrikan young ones with the vicious intent to mis-engineer sacred young spirits to see fun and celebration as the total and exclusive engagement in activities that bring benefit to others and (at the same time) denigrate the Afrikan self. If the demonic enemy parasite has his wicked way then the susceptible young spirit by adulthood becomes the compliant ‘object’ of disuse and abuse with no other avenue of thought or outlook except to live in the bogusness of subjugated and compliant hell as the norm. This is the enslaved coerced into acceptance of enslavement. This is colonised coerced into the acceptance of colonisation. This is brutalised coerced into acceptance of brutality. This is the murdered coerced into the acceptance of their own genocide.

Victoriously and imperatively, Afrikan souls are restoring themselves in forthright self-determination with ever-increasing knowingness of the themselves and their own way of life to safeguard themselves from alien imposition and secure the ever-ascending generational climb of global Afrikan ascendancy. Bereft of wholesome independent spiritual, cultural and wisdom filled development of the Afrikan young the grand Afrikan continuum is castrated. Void of the more senior Afrikan souls knowing of themselves and living their own spiritual and cultural way of life the young are left without the essential guiding hands of wisdom and left vulnerable to the alien talons of the culture vulture.

Therefore, in the Watoto focussed activities of the Musa Msimu observance it is holistic engagement as both the central young and the more senior are energised and developed in the mission for Afrikan ascendancy. Celebration and fun endeavours are naturally defined and self-determined by the Afrikan soul. The brilliancy of the Watoto will surely shine as they see the light of brilliancy shine in souls from which they have come.

Within the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) with young ones in the fold, Watoto centred activities are a continuing feature throughout the annual calendar observance cycles whether internally or open to the Afrikan community at large. For Musa Msimu, this remains true and Sherehe of and for the Watoto is wonderful and  progressive generational wholesomeness.

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).
