IMAGES OF KEMETYU (ANCIENT EGYPTIANS) & ARABS IN ROME

Herodotus:
“I myself guessed it to be so, partly because they are dark-skinned and woolly-haired; though that indeed goes for nothing, seeing that other peoples, too, are such; but my better proof was that the Colchians and Egyptians and Ethiopians are the only nations that have from the first practiced circumcision”.

"Herodotus, The Histories Book II Chapters 99-182"

Diodorus Siculus:
“They say also that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony… And the larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the colonists still preserving their ancient manners…Furthermore, the orders of the priests, they maintain, have much the same position among both peoples; for all are clean​ who are engaged in the service of the gods, keeping themselves shaven, like the Egyptian priests, and having the same dress and form of staff, which is shaped like a plough and is carried by their kings, who wear high felt hats which end in a knob at the top and are circled by the serpents which they call asps; and this symbol appears to carry the thought that it will be the lot of those who shall dare to attack the king to encounter death-carrying stings.​ Many other things are also told by them concerning their own antiquity and the colony which they sent out that became the Egyptians, but about this there is no special need of our writing anything…We must now speak about the Ethiopian writing which is called hieroglyphic among the Egyptians…”

During a meeting with his Malian counterpart, Colonel Asimi Goita President of Mali, Burkina Faso President captain Ibrahim Traore hinted about forming a federation with Mali, since both economies have gold.

They now plan to mine gold and print currencies in their respective countries rather than using the CFA currency that is printed and regulated by France.

Happy birthday to activist and chairman of the Black Panther Party Fred Hampton.

He was assassinated by Chicago police and the FBI at just 21 years old.

William O'Neal, an FBI informant, infiltrated the Black Panthers and set up Fred Hampton for $300.

The true practice of introspection is, to this mind of mine, below the navel, the breathing centre of the abdomen and the loins and feet, and is in totality the ‘non-ideagram’ or the ‘no-ideogram’ (mu) of Joshu.

If we had leadership in Africa, these would be our trade corridors, with oil and gas pipelines moving from Cape To Cairo and so on.

But we are led by fools.

Nelson Mandela and Robert Mugabe were not on good terms. He said Mugabe was a star, but the sun came up.

In 2017, Mugabe said Mandela forgot about the struggle. He said Mandela cherished his freedom more than anything else while he was in prison.
