A PEOPLE CALLED AFRIKA

using materials and methods that are sustainable and non-tox-
ic; energy that does not destroy or pollute; agriculture that re-
stores health and strength to the land so that it produces plants
and animals that restore health and strength to the people.
We must teach our people to plant, identify and know how
to use plants and herbs for healing and health. Our education
system must empower our children and adults to know how
to interact with their environment in ways that are beneficial
to all.

We must heal the land from the corruption and death that
we have sown; the bloodshed and the evil deeds that we have
done have corrupted the earth. The chemicals that have been
sprayed that have turned into pollutants that poison our soil
and air and water and bodies. Our water itself is polluted with
chemicals from factories and from treatment processes that
are actually poisoning us. We must stop poisoning ourselves.

Stop trading in used clothing and vehicles and give peo-
ple an opportunity to create what is beneficial for the con-
tinent. Let’s give our people the best quality possible, and
that includes not exporting our best foods, but providing
nutrient dense high quality foods to our people, so that our
people grow in health and strength from generation to gen-
eration. Surely that is what a government is meant to do –
nurture and protect its people first? And if the government
will not do it for us, it means we need to do it for ourselves.

Afrikans in the Diaspora must share the expertise
and insights they have gathered in their time in oth-
er lands in order to turn it in favor of what Afrika
now needs as the new global solution for every sector.
