Happy New Year
For our first show for the year 6261, according to our adjusted Kemetic timescale (or 2021 for those on the Gregorian contraption) we consider the prospects for the coming year.
In a message entitled, Rise To The Challenges of 6261 and Beyond, delivered at Alkebu-Lan Shumira, Bro. Ldr. Mbandaka emphasized that the ‘new scramble for Afrika’ will see the continent continue as a key battleground as competing powers vie for global dominance in this “huge and growing market”. (1) Indeed, with the Brexit deal now signed, the UK government will likely throw its full weight behind its “Empire 2.0” agenda. (2) And in so doing, Bro. Ldr asserts, they’ll find Afrika and the Caribbean in “panic mode” as a result of the “huge distraction that has been thrown at us” in the form of Coronavirus, even though it’s impact in these regions has been “nebulous.” (3)
Bro. Ldr sees the Coronavairus as an attempt to “reconfigure the entire world” using propaganda to peddle an over exaggerated threat. In fact a report (one of the few in this vein to see the light of day) by Bristol University Professor Philip Thomas indicates that:
“Lockdown will claim the equivalent of 560,000 lives because of the health impact of the ‘deep and prolonged recession it will cause.’” (4)
Yet in spite of all these manoeuvres, Bro. Ldr laments that “we have no plan in place… The liberation fight has been reduced to a talking shop and we’ve become comfortable with that.” (5)
He also reflected on the launch of iNAPP (interim Natinal Afrikan People’s Parliament), an attempt to build national representative body for Afrikans in the UK in 2011 and the prediction at the time “if we don’t ensure that it works then in the next 10 years we’re going to have serious regrets.” (6) In that time iNAPP imploded and the community is in disarray while we are confronted by largely unimpeded government overreach. (7)
Bro. Ldr. Concluded that the solution for us lies in the Blackprint of The Most Eminent Prophet and King – His Excellency Marcus Mosiah Garvey who declared Afrika for the Afrikans, those at home and those abroad and understood the geo-political maxim, whoever controls Afrika, controls the world. Thus when Afrikans take back control of Afrika, Afrikans will rule the world. (8)

We ask the question:
Can we rise to the challenges of 6261 (2021) and beyond?
1) What do we see as the key challenges for the coming year (and beyond)?
2) Is panic around coronavirus really being propagated in Afrika and the Caribbean?
3) If we’re “not ready”, why is this and what can we do to be ready?
4) Has the liberation fight been reduced to a “talking shop”?
5) Can we really adopt Marcus Garvey’s Blackprint or is it too late?
