THE BLACK EMPIRE TO COME

For years I have been addressing the topic of micronationalism, highlighting how this model was incapable of definitively liberating Africa, which can only inevitably lead to imagining an Empire (Federation / Confederation / Pole) which would therefore overcome the notion of Nation and nationalism in its Western vision, but also of Franco-Atlantic imperialism.

Recently, we have seen in African geopolitical news, the Foreign Ministers of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso have recommended the creation of a confederation with the ambition of eventually arriving at a federation. This fits into the scenario of the Alliance des États du Sahel (AES), i.e. the Alliance of Sahel States, which has set itself the objective of fighting terrorism, then arriving at an economic union, and then arriving at higher goals. All this falls within the scheme of the concept of Empire that I have had the opportunity to expose in various articles such as “Afropolarism” (written with Amadu Kunta Akil Bumbesia), “New Eschatological Imperial Manden”, “Africa-nation: A Great Homeland from Cape Verde to Cairo, from Antananarivo to Algiers”, among many others.

OLD AFRICAN IMPERIALITY

Africa, before the advent of old colonialism and neo-colonialism, was founded on Imperiality. The Empire was the best governmental structure, it was redeeming, as well as unifying. In this sense, Empires such as:

• Ethiopia – KMT : One of the oldest Empires in History, Ethiopia, was initially an extension, up to today's Egypt (at the time called KMT/Kemet, i.e. the “Land of the Blacks” in mdw ntr / medu meter , the sacred language, the most ancient language of Africa; the Black Pharaonic KMT is the basis of all the knowledge boasted today by the West, from philosophy to science, passing through mathematics, writing, astronomy, etc.) . Ethiopia was much larger than it is today. This Empire is known for the famous Battle of Adwa which defeated the old Italian colonizers and became a symbol of Pan-Africanism for this reason, highly praised by Marcus Garvey. Which is why the tricolors of many African flags bear the pan-African colors of Greater Ethiopia.
• Wagadu Empire: Wagadu is what is improperly called ‘’Ghana’’ in Western and Arab historiography, in reference to the Ruler of the Kingdom. It was located between Senegal and Niger.
• Manden Empire: Born in 1235, following the Battle of Kirina, which saw the opposition of the Emperor Sundiata Keïta and the absolutist Solomana Kante of the Sosso Kingdom (now Guinea). It included present-day Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Niger, Mauritania, Guinea Bissau and part of Ivory Coast. This Empire was politically founded on the Kouroukan Fouga Charter, the oldest universal charter of human rights, drawn up in Manden.
• Kongo Dia Ntotila: The Kongo Dia Ntotila (also called the Kongo Empire) was another great civilizational space that united the two present-day Congos and Angola. It was a powerful Empire, deeply based on metaphysics and gave importance to ancestral spirituality before the advent of Christianity which subverted local realities. Degenerated in Chaos, in the middle of the 1600s, a young woman called Kimpa Vita attempted to restore the greatness of the Empire, putting religious belief and Afrocentricity at the center. She had many partisans, and precisely because she began to disturb the advancing old colonizers, she was burned alive at just 22 years old, becoming a martyr and prophetess. Her Spirit reincarnated in Simon Kimbangu (according to local beliefs), prophet of the Black Race in 1900.
• Zulu Empire : Southern Africa also experienced its imperial phase. The most significant one is that of the era of the advent of the warrior Shaka, who set himself the unity of the “people of the Sky” (Zulu), but also the whole of southern Africa.
• Wassolou Empire : Born from the ashes of the Manden Empire under the leadership of the warrior-Emperor Samory Ture (great-uncle of the first President of Guinea, Ahmed Sékou Touré), united Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso. The Fama (Emperor) Samory remembered for the famous Battle of Woyowoyanko in which he defeated the old French colonizers, was loved by the population, and the griots (singers and keepers of history and culture) of the time composed this Hymn in honor of him:

“If you cannot organize, direct and defend the Land of your Fathers, appeal to the bravest men; If you cannot speak the truth, everywhere and at all times, appeal to the bravest men; If you cannot be impartial, give the throne to the righteous; If you cannot challenge the enemy, give your war saber to the women who will show you the path of honor; If you can’t courageously express your thoughts, let the griots speak. Oh Fama! The People trust you, they trust you to embody their virtues.”

AFRICAN NEO-IMPERIALITY

If you know there is a hole ahead, there is no point in running quickly ahead without the right protection to avoid falling. We need to take a step back, look for the elements that will allow us to jump over the hole further ahead. Africa must go back, look at pre-colonial organizational systems, move from a old-imperiality (old empires) to a neo-imperiality (confederations or federations of civilisations) in the face of micronationalism (single states built by the West) and to Western imperialism (supreme phase of capitalism and symbol of colonialism).

This Neo-imperiality will therefore espouse the vision of continentalism in its different declinations that characterizes the different continents:

• Africa (Pan-Africanism: Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Kwame Nkrumah, Sékou Touré, Thomas Sankara, Khalid Muhammad, Winnie Mandela, Gaddafi, Assimi Goïta, Mamady Doumbouya, Ibrahim Traoré, Abdourahamane Tchiani);
• Europe (Pan-Europeanism/Eurasianism: Carlo Terracciano, Alexander Dugin, Darya Dugina, Lorenzo Maria Pacini);
• South America (Ibero-America: Raphael Machado / Crisolismo: Israel Lira)
• North Korea (Juche)
• China (on the path to multipolarity, but ideology to be defined)
• India (on the path to multipolarity, but ideology to be defined)

BLACK HEARTLAND AGAINST THE NEO-COLONIALIST AND GLOBALISTIC SEA

Therefore, when we talk about neo-imperiality and the continentalist African Empire, it is imperative to take into consideration the theory of the Heartland, developed by various geopoliticians, in particular Mackinder, who saw the comparison between a Eurasian Heartland and an Atlanticist Sea. When talking about geopolitics, this theory cannot be ignored. In our pan-African struggle to build a strong, autarchic, independent and sovereign African Empire, we will have to consider ourselves as the world’s Heartland. In this sense, everything that represents neo-colonialism (the France of globalist Macron) or Atlanticism (United States) represents the evil to be fought. Today like yesterday, we are in this dichotomy. We are the Black Heartland that faces various powers today (powers that say “Whoever controls Africa, commands the world” to overturn a Mackinderian formula “Whoever controls Eurasia, commands the world”) and the only way to emerge victorious is to pursue the AES dynamic started by Ibrahim Traoré, Assimi Goïta and Abdourahamane Tchiani, until extending it on a continental scale. We are a powerful people (and history proves it). We will rise again!
