FANTASTIC!!! IT WAS ABOUT TIME.

Any African who knows their history would see this great process as the rebirth of what was hundreds of years before the Arabs arrived on the East coast of Africa. The nations of Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zambia and Mozambique was once a united region. It was not a 'country' or 'empire' as we know it today, but it was a region called "Negau" and a major place of culture where trade was carried out with the Kushites, Egyptians and others in North East Africa.

The term Punt was also used to describe this region (see the book, "Susu Economics," pub. by www.AuthorHouse.com ).

In ancient times, this entire set of countries and the region was a major source of iron, gold, electrum, metal utencils, crops and other goods. There is a pictur on the walls of the tomb of Hatshepsut that shows Puntites (Negawu) Queen Ati and her attendents carrying items to meet the Egyptians. One of these items was electrum an allow of silver, gold and tin. At that time in history, about 1500 years Before Christ, the Mozambique region was the only place electrum was being produced.

The Punt/Negau region was also the home of many very ancient towns and settlements along the coast of East Africa dating back many centuries before Christ. In fact, a few years ago, a very ancient city was found on an offshore trading island. Another archeological work taken in the old Swahili cities found that there were very ancient layers of towns beneath the ones built by the Swahili.

The region between Somalia and Mozambique was one of the most ancient nations on earth. That nation is mentioned in the Bible as Punt, it is mentioned in the Egyptian texts as Negau and it is known in ancient Chinese books by other names because that region from Zimbabwe/Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania to Somalia traded with the Chinese, East Indians and others.

In fact, the Representative for the Fijian community in Los Angeles pointed out in the African Marketplace magazine, "Shekere" that the ancestors of many Fijians came from Tanganyika and were trading with East Africa in ancient times. The former Foreign Minister of Papua New Guinea also pointed out that the ancestors of the Blacks in Asia came from Africa.

It is also facinating to find out that many languages in S.E. Asia, East Asia and Australia also seem to have African connections in the area of the prefixes, suffixes, or the 'sacred' letter "N" or 'Ng" before or within certain words. In fact, one former Prime Minister of Senegal pointed out that the Japanese language is of East African origins. One only has to check it out by comparing about twenty Japanese place names with twenty East African place names...the similarities are indeed facinating and very identical

So, history is being remade in a positive way. Now it is time for nations like Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Niger, Mali, Chad, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cameroon to create the United States of West Africa, or The West African Union of States, or in keeping with what was in ancient times, calling the entire region Wagadu.

This region was in existence as early as 3000 BC. Evidence of this large, organized and settled region was found in no other than Mexico, where the ancient Olmec civilization is now known to be of Manding Shi origins (see more on the ancient Manding-Shi of Mexico, "A History of the African-Olmecs," pub. by www.AuthorHouse.com ). The Manding-Shi were Africans from West Africa and parts of Sudan and when they left West Africa, there was a great civilization or culture in the South West Sahara which later became the Sahara Crescent, (see the works of Clyde A. Winters).

The West African nations mentioned previously MUST TAKE STEPS TO UNITE, BECAUSE THERE ARE IMPERIALIST AMBITIONS IN PARTS OF NORTHERN AFRICA THAT HAVE CAUSED HAVOC AND TERRIBLE CONDITIONS FOR AFRICANS OVER THE PAST 1400 YEARS, AND ARE DOING SO IN SUDAN TODAY. Mauritania's original Black people are partly slaves "Haratin" in their own lands. Africans must unite to create a single nation in West Africa and population expansion must also occur to create and establish a large and strong population.

This unity must also spread to the Black nations of the South Pacific such as West Papua, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, Solomon Islands and others. It seems that these nations are being overwhelmed or targeted for disappearance, AS MANY OF THE ORIGINAL BLACK/AFRICOID PEOPLES OF ASIA HAVE BEEN PUSHED ASIDE, INCLUDING IN PLACES LIKE INDIA AND INDO-CHINA.

Any Afrianist who examines the African continent, India, S.E. Asia and even the ancient Americas, they will see once powerful and thriving Black cultures and civilizations destroyed or overrun by northern barbarians and nomads. TODAY'S AFRICANS, PAN-AFRICANS AND PAN-NEGROID PEOPLES MUST TAKE STEPS TO CREATE LARGE, STRONG UNITED CONTRIES AND LARGE, POWERFUL POPULATIONS IN ORDER TO GAIN MORE POWER AND STRENGTH.

The push by Desert peoples into Mauritania and other Black lands in West Africa is a growing threat that will bring about the types of conflicts one finds in Sudan. West Africans had better start working to unite their various nations, protect their interests and keep their people from being driven to the wilderness as has been the case in Sudan. West Africa and East Africa must take this step of unity because these wilderness and desert invaders who originally came in from West Asia and the Middle East will do nothing but seize African lands, corrupt Africans, ravave and make Africans believe they are 'Arabs' as is the case in Sudan.

Hence, the move to unite East Africa and eventually do the same in West Africa is taking the proper step to ensure Black African culture, languages and survival.

The next step is to make African/Blacks nations worldwide powerful nations that are producers of great culture. There used to be a time when we would go to England or Zambia and be able to buy a Nigerian lorry, or the first "Afrocar" or trucks from Zambia. That time has to return. After all, it was in Africa that the very first Industrial Revolution began about 3000 years ago, when the Nubians/Kushites began to manufacture iron wheels, tools, weapons, utincils in Meroe. The Zimbabweans also did the same later on with their mass manufacture of iron tools. The Kenyans and East Africans were the first to mass manufacture steel. The 'Indian Ocean' was called the 'Ethiopian Ocean," and so was the Atlantic also called the 'Ethiopian Ocean." As for West Africans, the Carthaginians and others went to the are from Cameroon to Senegal in what was a large region of trade and commerce (see 'Susu Economics," pub. by www.AuthorHouse.com).
West Africans traded and settled the Americas as early as 3000 BC and the ancient Manding king of Mexico by the name of Ci established a powerful Black civilization in "Olmec" Mexico along with the native Olmec Indians.
