New eschatological Imperial Manden

At a time when federal unity is strongly supported by the young African generations in West Africa, it is however important to establish how this federality in question could be structured. In terms of federality, the African must choose between the American model of government or the ancestral imperial model.

For an Afro-centric system alternative to democracy

Watch over the Homeland / Practice mutual aid / Everyone is free to act respecting the prohibitions of the laws of their own Homeland / Never offend our women, our mothers / Women, in addition to their daily occupations, must be associated with all our governments – Extracts from the Kouroukan Fouga Charter of 1235

After the rise of Emperor Sundiata Keita, who founded the Manden Kurufa (Manden Federation or simply Manden Empire) in 1235, brought together much of the popular hierarchy in an assembly within which a whole system of rules on citizens' life, the rights and functions of citizens within the Manden was established under what is called the “Charter of Kouroukan Fouga” (or Manden Charter). This consolidated sermon, intrinsically anchored in Tradition, is considered by contemporary history to be one of the oldest constitutions in history and certainly as the first charter of human rights before those which appeared in the West. This charter of Kouroukan Fouga regulated individual, collective, economic and political life. It was about the defense of the homeland, social justice, equality, the defense of life, the matriarchy that gave women a central role in society, ecology and so on.
Today, Africa needs a new governmental model, democracy in the Western vision has actually turned out to be a demon-cracy, a deleterious system that is not in harmony with Endo-African realities. Reviewing the socio-political-economic models present in Africa in the past becomes more necessary than ever. The birth of a federal system in West Africa must take this reality into account. This is why it is necessary to consolidate a powerful Empire in West Africa, which will have to progressively extend across the entire continent, thus giving life to what I call ImperAfrika, that is, Imperial Africa. The New Manden, which will naturally see the union of states such as Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and others, will therefore have to recover ontological-political models consistent with its own ancestral societies. Therefore the Kouroukan Fouga Charter will form the basis. This Tradition of the Kouroukan Fouga Charter will also allow us to replace the Western concept of constitution according to which it is the modern man in power who must plan and structure the rules of the Nation, sometimes against the will of the People.

African revolutionary conservatism in the 21st century

The New Manden will be born through a revolution in its original etymological meaning and not distorted by modern grammar. Revolution comes from “revolutio” which in Latin means return. In its original etymology, revolution means looking back, towards everything that is initial and first. The new African generation will therefore have to approach the concept of “Conservative Revolution”, but in its African meaning. On the other hand, in West Africa, there is a concept known as “sankofa”. Sankofa for the majestic Akan people is a concept that refers to the need to look to the past, to look at the roots to project towards the future. In a Pan-Africanism in the 21st century (under epistemological elaboration) that will opt for a continental empire (after having initially built regional Empires/Kingdoms as a transition phase), the concept of sankofa will truly be the African name that we will give to the conservative revolution in its African sense. A concept of sankofa that will represent the ancestral African imperiality, contrasted with democracy in its exogenous form, exalting the return to the greatness and heroism of the people. A New Manden (as well as a hypothetical ImperAfrika) if it is constituted as an Empire will therefore have the ancestral African kingship as its form of government. But this ancestral African royalty must in no way be confused with European monarchies. Ancestral African royalty is based on a rigorous link with Tradition, whereas the European monarchy has in some cases been infiltrated by dark networks such as Freemasonry; Ancestral African royalty is based on the direct interaction between the Mansa (ߡߊߣߛߊ), i.e. the Emperor, a council of traditional elders, a collective of traditional women and the People, whereas in the European monarchy autocracy reigns; Ancestral African royalty rejects the unjust, while in the European monarchy inequality and injustice are not so latent. African ancestral royalty must be subordinated to the "supremacy of God" (Adinkra concept of the Akan) and put forward the structuring of a metaphysical government.

The African renaissance will also depend on the ability to promote what I call “Afrophony” with the N'ko alphabet, a West African alphabet invented by the Guinean erudite Solomana Kante, an alphabet heir to pre-Imperial African writing systems. colonial. Highlighting the most widespread West African languages will accelerate the process of linguistic independence (there is this desire for linguistic sovereignty, after all, among African youth). No less important is also the renewal of the economy. Full independence will depend on the latter. Getting rid of the CFA franc once and for all and starting to print a sovereign currency of West Africa, which we could call “wari” (ߡߊߣߛߊ), which means money in the Bambara language, must imperatively be a way to proceed towards economic sovereignty.

An eschatological Manden Empire in the 21st century as the beginning, ImperAfrika as the final goal

The eschatological New Imperial Manden illustrated here can only be a beginning for the resurrection of the continent Farafina (ߝߊߙߊߝߌߣߊ),  meaning Africa in the Manden-descended languages. But the goal of yesterday's Pan-Africanism and of Pan-Africanism in the 21st century is and will always be Farafina's Continental Union, therefore the construction of ImperAfrika, a powerful economic and political Empire dreamed of by the Ancestor Marcus Mosiah Garvey and all successors of him. We observe, among other things, that Mali governed by Assimi Goita, Burkina Faso governed by Ibrahim Traoré, Niger governed by Abdourahamane Tchiani have signed the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), with the aim of jointly defending themselves in the face of exogenous threats materialized by terrorism (which is nothing other than the offspring of neocolonialism). Niger, Burkina, Mali were part, among other states, of the Manden Empire of the 1200s, as well as of the Wassoulou Empire of Samory Touré at the end of the 19th century (heir of the Manden Empire). They have common history, culture and heritage. We therefore hope that the AES is a path towards the consolidation of the eschatological New Imperial Manden illustrated here, under the aegis of national-revolutionary/African revolutionary conservatism regimes, and subsequently towards ImperAfrika.
