The Imperative Afrikan Fight to Win

Afrikan people have a beautifully gallant inheritance in being victorious to maintain the world’s most glorious expressions of life. The natural and marvellous development of the Afrikan soul, family-hood and civilisation has been accompanied by the defence and protection of this progressive becoming through necessity. The holistic and long-lasting essence of victory has been made manifest by the Afrikan since the most ancient of times. With the coming of early invasions from the onslaught of enemies such as the Hyksos where the supreme Afrikan courage and might of Ahmose I The Great Liberator and Ahmose Nefertari successfully rid Afrikan soil of the wretched Hyksos incursion. The spirit of liberty baton was directly passed on to through the family generational line to reach the more contemporary relative, the great warrior queen Hatshepsut. This most essential inheritance from many such examples from the most ancient of times continues to give Afrikans generation after generation, unbounded by geographical space, outstanding capability for victory again and again.

The huge plethora of great heroes and sheroes highlight the most brilliant forms of courage, strategy, military prowess, integrity, fortitude, strength, power amongst many other qualities made manifest by the Afrikan spirit to eternally safeguard Afrikan life. In the recent time of historical disruption anti-Afrikan agency has again raised its grotesque head to unleash chattel enslavement hurling the Afrikan into the Maafa (great disaster).

In understanding this recent historical abomination and how the brutal process of chattel enslavement came to an end it is necessary to recall the experience of the majority of courageous Afrikans that fought to free themselves. The immediate backdrop to the recent European – Atlantic phase of brutal disruption was the attack of Arab on Afrikan souls. Arab enslavement set the stage prior to the attack of the European slavers highlighting to the forthcoming hordes from the west this horror-filled endeavour.

With the coming forth of the Arab some Afrikans were converted to the religion of Islam. But this in no way deterred the enslavers coming out of Arabia.

In 1391 the King of Bornu wrote a letter to a sultan in Egypt (the Afrikan country which had by this time been conquered and controlled by the Arab for more than 700 years). The letter stated: “We have sent you as ambassador my cousin. Idris Ibn Muhammad, because of the calamity we suffered. The Arab who are called Judham and others have taken captive our free subjects – women and children and old people, and our relatives, and other muslims. These Arabs have harmed all our land, the land of Bornu, continually to the present, and have captured our free subjects and relatives, who are muslims, and are selling them to the slave-dealers in Egypt and Syria and elsewhere, and some they keep for themselves.”

These already weakened Afrikan societies saw the first European enslavers arriving in 1441. The Afrikan had then to fight on two fronts. They had to defend themselves against the slaving incursions from the east and now also from the west.

The Afrikans fought the European chattel enslavers every step of the way, from Afrika to the plantation and beyond.

From Afrika, the Afrikan fought to win

Queen Nzinga of the region of Afrika now called Angola led Afrikan people with great military prowess and genius in the fight against the invading Portuguese raiders. She successfully fought against continuous attack for the majority of her adult until her transition into the ethereal realm among the Great Warrior Ancestors.

From the Americas, the Afrikan fought to win

Harriet Tubman, Gabriel Prosser and armies of Afrikans fought against enslavement. Nat Turner led a major uprising in North America. A visionary and a leader many saw as a prophet. He said, “As the black spot passed over the sun, so shall the Blacks pass over the Earth”. In August 1831 he had organised an Afrikan army which destroyed all enslavers in its wake.

Afrikans forced to slave on the plantations of Brazil were renowned to escape and form societies of their own. These Afrikan societies were known as Quilombos. The most famous of these   Quilombos is called Palmares. Here, a nation of 30,000 Afrikans established the first Government of free Afrikans in the ‘new world’. These Afrikans were rooted in Afrikan tradition and highly skilled at warfare. They successfully defended themselves against attack from the Dutch and Portuguese for more than 50 years. There were several great leaders of the Palmares, one of the most well known of these is the great warrior King Zumbi.

From the Islands the Afrikan fought to win

From one island to the next great Afrikan leaders bravely led the fight against enslavement. Queen Nanny in Jamaica, King Bussa in Barbados and so on. But what happened on the island of Haiti was exceptional. The major European military powers of the period were severely defeated by the Afrikan. Many great heroes emerged from what has been described as the Haitian revolution. For example, the Afrikan Spiritual High Priest Bookman Dutty and Emperor Jean Jacque Dessalines. Indeed, it was Jean Jacque Dessalines who ultimately led his people to victory in 1804 winning complete independence for an Afrikan nation in the ‘new world’.

People came from various islands and from the Americas to participate in the courageous fight for liberty and nationhood in Haiti during the revolution. Whether male or female the galvanising thrust for the freedom of Afrikan souls became unconquerable.

The tremendous victory and example of the Haitian revolution forced Britain to cease chattel enslavement. So-called abolition was a strategic attempt to thwart the self-determination of Afrikans to have self-governance throughout the islands and in key portions of the Americas.

This leaves us with a clear conclusion as to why chattel enslavement was really brought to an end. Afrikan souls can ill-afford to be continually drawn into the realms of lies and confusion in examining the brutally disruptive period of enslavement. The Anti-Afrikan propagandist bleating in the pronouncement of cronies such as Wiber’farce’ as a universal hero is at best hypocritical.  These so-called heroes applauded by anti-Afrikan forces as ‘great abolitionists’ have been positioned to falsely project the taking charge (even) of the fight for Afrikan freedom. Are Afrikan people still being subjected to a ‘plantation mentality’ and coerced to believe that the very people responsible for the brutal kidnapping of millions from Afrikan soil, are now responsible for rescuing the same Afrikan from their continually exploitative clutches?

Questions such as this surely ought to become redundant and non-consequential as Afrikan people take the responsibility to educate themselves on their own experience independently of the institutions built by and functioning for the benefit of others. This is surely harnessing the great Afrikan inheritance of victory. Who has, can and will remove the abominable shackles of Enslavement? For this, the Afrikan simply has to take a look into the mirror to make real the profound and mission compelling words: ‘Advance, Advance to Victory Let Afrika be Free!’
