The Bennu Manifesto

The Bennu Manifesto

Worldwide, we Black African people face multiple challenges:

  • Most of us do not know our glorious past and often suffer from low self-esteem as a result
  • We are despised by many who believe, somehow, that we are their inferiors
  • Non-Africans only know of our greatest tribulations, ignoring our amazing contributions
  • Our continent is vilified and viewed as a land of poor savages
  • There is this perpetual image of sickness and poverty characterizing our motherland
  • People believe we found civilization through the benevolence of Europeans and Arabs
  • Our leaders are seen as the most corrupt and our youths as the most uneducated
  • We are perceived as a deeply fractured and disunited group

How do you feel about that?

Imperial nations have committed massive genocides in the Americas and Oceania in order to take over resources. Therefore, Africa without Africans seems appealing to the ruling powers. For the moment, neo-colonization and a rigged financial system allow the slow siphoning of those stupendous resources.

Besides our gigantic physical assets, our people have been exploited, through slavery and forced labor (during colonization).

Even today, our athletes and our music artists, who are famous and deserve our love, feed gargantuan industries. On the other hand, our intellectual geniuses are not celebrated.

Why is that?

Africa and Africans have, no doubt, been taken advantage of repeatedly via:

  • Militaristic bullying
  • Coups & Assassinations
  • Kidnappings
  • Forced religions
  • Eurocentric educational systems
  • Uneven trade agreements or straight up heists
  • Mass media propaganda
  • Healthcare scandals

Will you continue to let this happen?

Something is changing though… A new generation of Africans is becoming aware of the global deception and is being groomed by the elders to take back their inheritance.

  • Those Africans learn about their truly fascinating history
  • They inform themselves on the conditions of their siblings worldwide
  • They are brilliant, whether they are scientists, athletes, engineers, artists, economists, lawyers, healers, intellectuals, teachers, leaders, entrepreneurs, etc…
  • They have access to powerful networks
  • Some are themselves powerful and wealthy
  • They have watched The Matrix and understand they live in a make-believe world
  • They have watched Black Panther and realize that they can create their own reality
  • They dream of a new unified African nation, not a Wakanda like in the Black Panther fiction, but something beyond that: something bigger, better, and bolder.
  • They have been able to manifest great things in their lives and they are wondering how, not if, but how they can participate in the manifestation of this new nation.
  • They see the signs:
    • The growing panafricanist sentiment
    • The declining West
    • The awareness that Africans have ingenious answers to many world issues
    • The new technologies that can catapult the whole continent ahead of everyone else
    • The awakening of the African youth

This new generation is here. This new generation is YOU. This new generation is ME. We are ready.

We have learned from our past leaders:

  • Some were assassinated, becoming heroes because of their courage and righteousness
  • Some resisted with pride and dignity, while their countries were forced into complete isolation
  • Some strategically waited for the right moment to help free their nation
  • Some talked a lot, but did not do much
  • Some simply accepted to sell their country away

One other thing that we have learned is that one human being can be inspired, but, ultimately, no war can be fought alone.

We call on ALL our African brothers and sisters in the world. Come join a new organization conceived by our people and for our people. We do not want this organization to be limited by labels:

  • It is not just another think tank, but we will think, collaborate, and manifest our plans into reality
  • It is not just another political party or lobby, but our political impact will be greatly felt worldwide
  • It is not just another bank or fund, but we will be a powerful economic entity
  • It is not just another justice league, but we will take legal actions whenever necessary
  • It is not just another commercial platform, but we will promote commercial exchanges within our communities
  • It is not just another research center, but our research will lead to the industrialization of our continent
  • It is not just another university, but we will master whatever subjects can help us reach our goals
  • It is not just another healthcare institute, but we will make health, not disease management, our priority
  • It is not just another scouting agency, but we will groom and sponsor our promising talents
  • It is not a religious or an esoteric group, but we will reach out to and work with people from all institutions that can accentuate our efforts
  • Finally, this organization does not want to replicate failing international institutions, but we will be dedicated to the pursuit of truth, geostrategy, ruthless pragmatism, and continuous innovation for our own benefit.

Let us fully embrace this new African golden age. Let us build a vibrant pan-African world!

Panafricanism

African peoples are scattered worldwide and share a common history, similar struggles, and some strong cultural ties. Panafricanism, in our view, is the movement that aims to strengthen the bonds between all peoples of African descent through education, global collaboration, and solidarity.
