African Opinion - Freedom Archives

Da-Uba, there are multitudes of
fictitious and concocted words,
phrases, and ideas rapidly repeating
and spreading. Many of these have
been invented hundreds of years ago
and, although discarded by science
and common sense, they are still being
hammered into the consciousness
of the least suspected.
For example : it is stated and constantly
repeated that the "Good
Lord" summoned a'fictitious creature
named "Moses" into a "burning
bush", of all places somewhere in
Southern Asia and gave him some
Commandments, now being used by
the Christians . Who was this imaginary
person, Uba ?
Uba-From all angle of reasoning,
Moses stands as invention to
further the plans and purposes of
the inventor. The same creature is
said to have struck the Red Sea with
a rod and that mass of ocean opened
up to let pass out of Egypt a group
of feigned persons, to some other
part of Asia . It is observed of late
that Marcus Garvey is classified as
a "Black Moses", leaving the intended
inference.
Da-Here is another strange concection
: Europeans changed the African
name Zimbabwe to "Rhodesia"
and the media of information here
in the West is now naming the
220,000 Europeans there "the Rhodesians"
and classifying the 5,000,-
000 Zimbabweans as "Negroes" and
"Blaclz Rhodesians" . Isn't this an
outright alienation, a planned process
of elimination, Uba ?
Uba-That is a foregone conclusion
. Their action of forming a
government there in which the five
million Africans there have no say
is as clear as crystal. Their brazen
action, like that of their counts rpart
in South Africa is that of genocide.
Da-But TTba, how can they continue
their barefaced aggression today
with tho T`nited Nations standing
by ?
Uba-What TT.N . ? The U.N. is
owned and controlled by the majority
-permanent members of the Securit
' v Council - China not included .
The group of imperialists and their

WHEN, WHERE AND WHY?
By DA & UBA
offsprings are not dead but only
wounded as Khruschev warned the
liberated states .
Da-«'hat did that mean to those
free States in Africa, especially those
satellites and "conservative" states
tied to the former enemy and their
offspring, Uba ?
Uba - It did not penetrate the
brainwashed mentality of those conditioned
leaders . Have you ever
checked the first and middle names
c>i those mentioned in the press? Do
' IN-On not discover they are all Europeans
or Christian names ? And those
names are not changed with independence,
except by a few here and
there who are now targets of foreign
agents . It's a slow process to switch
to the need of now-today.
Da-Yes, Uba, that . is understandable
but there was a time when it
took months to travel from Timbuktu
to Mecca . Today, with our jets, it
only takes one-half day . Today with
the printing press, radio and television,
wire service s, it is time to be
in step. It is time we looked out for
ourselves multilaterally . We cannot
afford to sit idle by and permit our
leaders with ostrich mentality, self

glory, ego and self aggrandizement
to jeopardize our preservation.
Uba-What step do you propose
be taken at this stage of reconstruction
in addition to the Organization
of African Unity (OAU) with now
42 free States?
Da -Africa has a population of
395,000,000 on the continent and
approximately 100,000,000 in the
Americas . With such a horde who
are now sick and tired of indignity
commonly faced, and standing ready
to redeem themselves, the following
steps should be taken without delay.
1) Delegated agents of African
States (not satellites nor conservatives)
be commissioned to re-establish
and reinforce the "MAU MAU"
with instruction to politely inform
those paid, subsidized and self-interest
operators that the welfare of
"the whole is greater than any of its
parts." Let them know in brotherly
fashion that if the masses go down,
the suction will inevitably pull them
down too .
2) A special meeting of the OAU
be summoned and promptly abolished,
what the imperialists called,
"African Nations" and elect one
head of state-a Chief, King, Emperor,
President, the name immaterial.
3) Elect those with childish ambition
as advisors, cabinet officials
and other appropriate functions.
4) Designate a commander-in-
Chief to federalize or Africanize
all military forces on the continent
-army, navy, air force, police along
with the guerillas. This must be done
with dispatch, since it is now abimdantly
clear that the imperialists
