The ‘African Millennium Renaissance’ was launch from the headquarters of the ‘African Union’ in Addis Abba. The chairperson at the time was the prime minister of Ethiopia, Ato Meles Zenawi. Not long after, Mr. Zenawi died under mysterious circumstance. His demise was reported in such a manner as to generate a barrage of conspiracy theories.
Nevertheless, the foundations of the renewal and building of the New Africa Civilization is up, energetic, functioning and running with a dynamic synergy. Now, over two decades into the twenty first century, if we look closely into the fifty-four states, we can find similarities and more common ground, than differences.
The young African warrior male and female, fighting worldwide for equal rights and justice declared, “the third world war has begun, mental, psychic, spiritual, practical and psychological.” This war will not be fought and won by boots on the ground. They explained that the battles for the soul and mind of the African nations are centered in community actions, and is being conducted through cyberspace, the dark web, digital zones and systems of new technology functioning at light speed. Raging on many fronts, industrial, biological, political, social, cultural, economic, and all the other usual areas in the competition of nations functioning within a one world scenario. Beware of the enemy, within all of us!
Many people say, “it is difficult to see how Africa could have more than an extremely minor role in the types of battles described. The great ambitions may be there, but the facts and logistics show a very different picture.”
Yes! The scenarios of that warfare have more to do with the technologically advanced nations and superpowers. However, without old redundant cumbersome infrastructures to be removed, like other advanced nations. What is lacking in old Africa could be a great advantage.
New Africa started from a pure blank canvas. As far as nation states goes, the continent called Africa is a new baby on the block, not yet sixty years, young in real terms. The continent is still creeping out of severe forms of arrested development and degradation, that continued relentlessly for more than five centuries under colonial rule. Only recently retrieving all the lands lost to foreign invasions and becoming totally independent at the end of the twentieth century. Out of the race to the planets, outer space and beyond, Africa has much to do to secure its future on earth. The Star Wars can wait. – African Postman.
