New Afrikan Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) & History

Rev Greetingz .. Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) New Afrikan Economics is based on the principle of Ujamaa from the Nguzo Saba-the seven principles behind kwanzaa. Ujamaa is Cooperative Economics to build and maintain our stores, shops, and other businesses, and to profit from them together. It is the Peoples Economy= System of production & distribution of resources/goods & services. Ujamaa's socio-economic philosophy is to distribute according to need. This is Republic of New Afrika's Philosophy of Economics.... In 1967, President Nyerere published his development blueprint, which was titled the Arusha Declaration, in which Nyerere pointed out the need for an African model of development and that formed the basis of African socialism. Ujamaa comes from the Swahili word for extended family or familyhood and is distinguished by several key characteristics, namely that a person becomes a person through the people or community. Nyerere used Ujamaa as the basis for a national development project. He translated the Ujamaa concept into a political-economic management model through several means: The creation of a one-party system under the leadership of the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) in order to help solidify the cohesion of the newly independent Tanzania. The institutionalization of social, economic, and political equality through the creation of a central democracy; the abolition of discrimination based on ascribed status; and the nationalization of the economy's key sectors.[1] The villagization of production, which essentially collectivized all forms of local productive capacity. The fostering of Tanzanian self-reliance through two dimensions: the transformation of economic and cultural attitudes. Economically, everyone would work for both the group and for him/herself; culturally, Tanzanians must learn to free themselves from dependence on European powers. For Nyerere, this included Tanzanians learning to do things for themselves and learning to be satisfied with what they could achieve as an independent state. The implementation of free and compulsory education for all Tanzanians in order to sensitize them to the principles of Ujamaa.[1] The creation of a Tanazanian rather than tribal identity through means such as the use of Swahili Julius Nyerere's leadership of Tanzania commanded international attention and attracted worldwide respect for his consistent emphasis upon ethical principles as the basis of practical policies. Tanzania under Nyerere made great strides in vital areas of social development: infant mortality was reduced from 138 per 1000 live births in 1965 to 110 in 1985; life expectancy at birth rose from 37 in 1960 to 52 in 1984; primary school enrolment was raised from 25% of age group (only 16% of females) in 1960 to 72% (85% of females) in 1985 (despite the rapidly increasing population); the adult literacy rate rose from 17% in 1960 to 63% by 1975 (much higher than in other African countries) and continued to rise.[2] However, Ujamaa (like many other collectivization projects) decreased production casting serious doubt on the projects ability to offer economic growth.[3] Nyerere used a colonial law, the Preventive Detention Act, to crush opposition.[2] In 1967, nationalizations transformed the government into the largest employer in the country. Purchasing power declined,[4] and, according to World Bank researchers, high taxes and bureaucracy created an environment where businessmen resorted to evasion, bribery and corruption.[4] Eventually a number of factors contributed to the downfall of the development model based on the Ujamaa concept. Among those factors were the oil crisis of the 1970s, the collapse of export commodity prices (particularly coffee and sisal), a lack of foreign direct investment, and the onset of the war with Uganda in 1978, which bled the young Tanzanian nation of valuable resources and two successive droughts. By 1985 it was clear that Ujamaa had failed to lift Tanzania out of its poor economic state; Nyerere announced that he would retire voluntarily after presidential elections that same year. The hip-hop scene in Tanzania was greatly influenced by the key ideas and themes of Ujamaa. At the turn of the century, the principles of Ujamaa were resurrected through "an unlikely source: rappers and hip hop artists in the streets of Tanzania."[5] In response to years of corrupt government leaders and political figures after Nyerere, themes of unity and family and equality were the messages sent out in a majority of the music being produced. This was in response to the working class oppression and in some sense a form of resistance.[5] The principles of cooperative economics —"local people cooperating with each other to provide for the essentials of living"—[6] can be seen in the lyrics of many Tanzanian hip-hop artists. They promote self-business and self-made identities in an effort to raise the spirits of the youth and promote change in society.. FTL RB!! @Haki_Shakur facebook.com/hakishakur

Historical executions(public hangings) of Gabriel Prosser and Cadre 15th & Broad st Richmond

Slaves had long believed god to be on there side. Now they prayed only to have their souls set free. Seven blocks away, near 15th and broad the hangmen made sure that all was in working order. In a low spot surrounded by tall pines and undergrowth sat the city gallows. the hanging of the rebellious slaves like all executions was a publlic affair. Hangings were at once a form of entertainment and a potent symbol of the power of state over the individual; for slaves who were encouraged to attend they were bloody lesson of the futility of resistance to white domination. "NOTHING WAS MORE SUCCESSFUL IN INDUCING PASSIVE BEHAVIOR -OR PROVED MORE PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGING TO BLACK MEN AND WOMEN-THAN BEING FORCED TO WATCH FATHERS AND HUSBANDS AND FRIENDS KICKING AT THE END OF A NOOSE". Even such lessons however had their limits in an allegedly civilized society. Soon after sunrise will,mike,nat and isaac marched into a tumbril for their journey to the gallows. Expecting trouble from black jacobins still on the loose, the governor instructed several companies of infantry and horse to form a circle around the gallows to keep off the crowd. The four men -perhaps tied and blind folded -mounted the scaffold the sound of their feet on the boards drowned out by shouts and cat calls from whites and the singing of hymns and the wails of there fellow slaves and friends who were allowed to crowd the space outside the line of military. The trap door swung open the heads of the four men snapped back and they were still... When at all possible the families of the executed retrieved the bodies and carried them country side for burial. All afrikans believed that human spirits lived on after death in another realm(rarely in the sky) that was far from this troubled world..... The last of the seven to go was the man who planned it all standing alone in the back of the tumbril with his hands bound behind him, Gabriel was driven to the town gallows near 15th and broad. a considered crowed gathered but probably his wife was not among them. Because he was hanged in Richmond it was unlikely that Gabriel was able to say goodbye to nanny,an because he was hanged alone, he was denied the small comfort of being executed by the side of one of his comrads. The trap door fell open and Gabriel at long last found sweet freedom. Virginia authorities hoped that would be the end of it. Many slaves believed otherwise black baptist retained enough of the west african worldview to believe that a restless soul who died unnaturally would not pass into the spirit world but instead would find a home in a body of a newborn child....

Gabriel Prosser ( St Domingo-Virginia connection-Rebellion)

" The Refugees, However brought with them More then merely the news of toussaint's victories. When they could they brought there human property as well. By 1795 as many as twelve thousand Dominguan slaves had entered the united states. Southeren authorities regarded them as slaves who had been infected with the malady insurrection & most states promptly enacted laws barring the entry of bondpersons from the island. Virginia however neglected to take this step & so became a popular safe haven for french planters & their slaves. The island slaves naturally mixed with virginia bondmen & passed on word of the world being remade off coast. " The scenes which are acted in St.Domingo" worried governor Monroe " Must produce & effect on all people of color in this & the states south of us. More especially our slaves & it is our duty to be on guard to prevent any mischief resulting from it. The governor was absolutely correct the "Refugee negroes" were " Diseminating results of there experiences" among VA Slaves.. Va District.. " The Group would then "Move on to Richmond" by the time the Rebel Army reached the city Gabriel promised, His forces would be 1000 men strong... That figure represented but a small proportion of the nearly eight thousand slaves and free blacks who lived in Richmond and Henrico County. In fact he needed not even that many. All that was necessary to carry a rebellion was a small army of determined soldiers. As Gabriel army neared town it would split into 3 groups "The Centre (Column) well provided with cutlasses, knives,pikes, and Muskets would move on capital square and seize guns stored in the Building" -Gabriel Rebellion( The Virginia Slave Conspiracies) .. Gabriel Prosser " The seizure of the capital city must mean the end of slavery in Virginia and perhaps beyond" Gabriel understood that simple liberation was not sufficient. The political dimensions of the conspiracy were equally clear.. "As he marched into the city of Richmond he planned to carry a flag inscribed the words ",Death or liberty" Gabriel's banner was designed to appeal to his broad coalition. West Afrikan Armies marched under unit flags that presumably made them invincible in battle.. Gabriel Prosser, sometimes called simply Gabriel, b. c.1776, d. Oct. 7, 1800, was a enslaved Black who led an abortive uprising near Richmond, Va., in 1800. Having sought in vain to develop a broad base of support, he and his followers nevertheless made plans to assault Richmond on August 30. The plot was discovered, and James Monroe, then governor of Virginia, called out the militia to round up the rebels. Gabriel fled but was brought back and hanged, along with some 35 others. The incident apparently disturbed many slaveholders, who, as Monroe said, could no longer "count with certainty" on the "tranquil submission" of the enslaved Afrikans. Gabriel's objective was Black Nationalism. He sought to not only "rebel" but build an independent and soveriegn black nation gn

New Afrikan political prisoner Jalil Muntaqim Health Alert

MEDICAL ALERT FOR POLITICAL PRISONER JALIL MUNTAQIM! April 25, 2013 Is There A Doctor In The House? As some of you have heard, I have been having health/medical problems. It has been going on for a while, but I have been holding it down like a trooper, if you know what I mean!? Well, it has been suggested that I give a full report of my condition. So, here we go! I have been suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure) for over a decade. I've been taking several types of medication to keep it under control. However, the best remedy is release from prison to lessen my stress. In February 2011, I began experiencing shortness of breath when exercising in the yard or climbing the stairs to the cell. Mind you, I have been jogging 3-5 miles a couple of times a week, and/or playing several games of hard basketball a week. So, experiencing shortness of breath climbing stairs really put a damper on my exercise program. On February 10, 2011, I had a 2-D & M-Mode/Doppler echocardiograph and renal arterial duplex ultrasound. The ultrasound showed “Normal renal arterial duplex ultrasound.” However, the echocardiograph showed: 1) Intact left ventricular size and systolic function; 2) Mild left ventricular diastolic dysfunction; 3) Mild tricuspid regurgitation with normal estimated right ventricular systolic pressure. It has been explained to me that my right ventricular valve is weak, and blood pumping out of the heart regurgitates, meaning some of the blood seeps back into the right ventrical of the heart. I have been told it is a mild dysfunction. Then, on January 3, 2013, after shoveling snow from the weight pile in the yard, I returned to the cell and removed my winter clothes. All of a sudden, my left arm went numb, with tingling in my fingers. I was unable to touch my thumb to the tips of my fingers. I immediately informed the officer I felt like I was having a stroke, although I had no other symptoms of a stroke. I was taken to the facility hospital in a wheelchair, and the first doctor who examined me wanted to send me immediately to an outside hospital. But he was countermanded by head Doctor Rao. Doctor Rao ordered for me to have a CT Scan. On April 8, 2013, I was finally taken to the outside hospital for the CT Scan. When I returned, I was called to the facility hospital and Doctor Rao made arrangements for me to be sent immediately back out to another hospital to see a neurologist. However, that was cancelled, and I am now waiting to see a neurologist. What alarmed Dr. Rao was the CT Scan discovered I suffer “low density areas in the right basal ganglia and head of the caudate nucleus on the right.” In other words, these areas of the brain are not getting all of the blood flow they should, i.e., brain damage. When I asked someone to google this condition, it was learned that I should have had immediate medical attention when I reported the stroke 4 months ago. I do not know how long it will take for Albany approval to permit me to see the neurologist, but it is obvious that delay does not serve me well. So, that is where I am at this juncture. Therefore, if there is a doctor in the house, I would really like to gain their expert opinion on this health situation. I believe it is fair to say I have little trust in DOCCS providing me the proper medical care. Furthermore, I will not be able to know the difference in quality of care if I do not know what should be expected regarding healthcare. Hence, if there is a doctor in the house, let me hear from you! Yours in struggle, Jalil Anthony Jalil Bottom #77A4283 Attica Correctional Facility P.O. Box 149 Attica NY 14011-0149

Assata Shakur case is a attack on all New Afrikan women(black)

Revolutionary Greetings:1st clench fist love to Nana Assata Shakur be strong be the warriorress you have always been justice,victory,and liberation will be yours and ours Free The Land. 2nd Assata Shakur case is a attack on all New Afrikan(black) people but more so on all New Afrikan(black) woman do to the re-actionary racist power structure who continues to use they strategic tactics to keep control and destroy our people,the attack has been going on for centuries i.e. patriarchy with another upfront crime at the scene thats taking place in front of the world through the use of terrorism propaganda,this is a historical ongoing issue let me say in any war to keep control of a historical enemy, is to attack the woman physically,Mentally,Spiritually etc, this is to pump fearism into our woman and to keep them from standing up against the tyranny that this empire has imposed on new afrikan people since the first new afrikans stepped off the boats..

This attack is to keep our woman from becoming political and socially involved in the bigger problems of our people e.g. raising they consciousness from the pits of colonialization & mind washed i.e. post traumatic slave syndrome to keep them in a standstill of forever nothingness.. the fbi and hoover over the decades was ironically targeting black woman cause they know black woman was and is the key to liberation on all levels, shes the backbone of the revolution theres nobody stronger and intelligent then the black woman when she is in her right conscious state of being and most important when shes stand up for the black man and her people overall, they feared the growth the movements cause our woman were joining and supporting and participating in the struggle at fast rates in the 60s but ill even go as far to say they even feared the historical status and stance of black woman from great leaderships of warriorress like Yaa Asantewaa,Amanishaketo,Queen Nzinga, who got up for the get down on historical enemies of Afrikan people trust and believe the re-actionary oppressors have more belief into what you can do and accomplish against the power structure then you do when its balanced or the black woman at the front leading umoja for victory...

Our woman has and are political targets even if they aint political cause this struggle is a historical war wether our own people who arent conscious enough to realize that or simply dont care, its a ideological,social,economical,political,cultural attack on our woman and there using Assata Shakur as a open season example with this fabricated terrorist list and 2million bounty to show our younger sisters there tactics publically to embed in there minds




not to stand up,or even look up to Queen Assata or get involved into activism like her they want our woman to stand down and to stay silent closed mouth on our community issues and not to fight the power structure that has historical subjugated our woman from the fight in modern times,there are great numbers of our woman still on the frontline but not enough, the power structure is no doubt seeing a uprise in the revolutionary movements and even our everyday 9-5 regular citizens conscious awareness to the same ole tyranny of the conservative and liberal re-actionary establishment and elitist war games on people of color, like Angela davis stated they considered Assata shakur the mother Hen of the black liberation army and movement by saying that they realized this warriorress had to be destroyed or captured back in the 70s and the ambush in jersey was just that a coordinating removal plan by j edgar hoover and cointelpro... this latest fabricated and political targeting of Assata shkaur is no doubt a fear tactic to pump into the grandchildren and the kids and even of my age and younger of the 60s and 70s political activist to not get active in activism or any revolutionary or plain old movements that stand up for our human rights and justice its another move on the part of the oppressive united states government to show our daughters and portray our woman as criminals,terrorist, and every other re-actionary term they can come up with if they get active in justice against a historical terrorist ran government by descendents of rome..they have to use a great public figure to get this message across cause its been used for centuries.


Whats even more ironic is how they used the boston bombings as the spring board for the fbi and new jersey racist pig agency to up the bounty and add our queen sistar to a terrorist list, our people and especially our woman have to take a deep look at this and see this aint a game how they use big staged attacks on the public and turn right around use it for racial motives on the new afrikan communities by going after assata shakur to me a terrorist is the united snakes government legal wars,bombing kids with drone missiles nothing assata shakur has ever did comes close to being a terrorist, if being a politically activist and being attacked by warmonger racist pigs is considered being a terrorist sign me up. Im a end on this note all our younger sisters,daughters, and even older woman of our people the time is now for you to realize what we advocate is the truth and nothing but the truth time to pull the cloak and sheet off your eyes and dont stand down but stand up for our political prisoners in jail and in exile we cant let this oppressive government attack our woman and to pump fear in they mental and we dam sure can let them get away with this fabrication on Assata Shakur remember her struggle is for good not evil she stood up for us so stand up for her for she is you and you are her... ~REBUILD FTL written by HAKI KWELI SHAKUR @Haki_kweli_shakur on instagram,  twitter @Haki_k_shakur facebook Haki Kweli Shakur youtube channel Haki Kweli Shakur August Third Collective South NAIM NAPLA Republic of New Afrika Citizen...

Shakur History

In the Revolutionary Community as, "The Republic of New Afrika vs. the Re-Actionary United snakes of amerikkka". In this case, the state was claiming that a "Criminal Enterprise" existed and that you are a part of it.They claim the "Criminal Enterprise" was responsible for what they called Bank robberies, armored truck robberies, murder of policemen, wounding policemen, kidnapping policemen,kidnapping drug dealers (some of whom turn out to be FBI agents), and kidnapping prison guards, etc...... The Shakur Family is a family from the East Coast, the head of the Family was El Hajj Sallahudin Shakur. We affectionately called him Abba, which means Father. He was physically the father of two of the Panther leaders on the East Coast, Zayd Malik Shakur and Lumumba Abdul Shakur. There were very few of us in the Movement that had fathers in the Movement. El Hajj Sallahudin Shakur was an associate of El Hajj Malik Shabazz (Malcolm X), he was a member of the Muslim Mosque Incorporated and also a member of the Organization of Afro-American Unity. He made Hajj one year after Malcolm. As we were coming up Abba was at the top.


We aspired to be like him. I became closely associated with Lumumba Abdul Shakur and I began to refer to El Hajj Sallahudin Shakur as Abba, too. As if he was my father and Abba accepted that. He accepted all of us who related to him, as his children and he was a father to us as much as he could be. He gave guidance, he gave us an understanding because he was a Muslim, he gave us an understanding of what it meant to be Muslim, as far as standing up for justice. For advocating justice and for fighting for what was right for our people. He had an understanding that anyone who is oppressed like this regardless of who it is, Muslims need to fight for them and since it is us ourselves, then for sure we need to be involved in as much struggle for our liberation and organizing as possible. A lot of people just saw religion as a way, not to be in the struggle. He gave us the understanding that to be in Islam, was the way to be in the struggle. He was also a Pan-Africanist, he worked, had property and lived part of the time in Africa. The family had property and business in Ghana and he was a business man. He taught us all to be self-sufficient. He had money, he showed us you could hustle, make money legally, and still he didn''t have to let the jewnited Snakes Government or white people in general know what his personal business was. That was a very important lesson we learned from El Hajj Sallahudin Shakur.


Abba was our father. There were many people on the east coast who were involved in not only the Black Panther Party, but other organizations around at that time that gravitated towards El Hajj Sallahudin Shakur. The Shakur family is all of those young brothers and sisters who were involved in struggle, not all were Muslim, but the majority were Muslim. It may have been at one time maybe 50 of us. A lot of people who weren't part of The Shakur family, the police would refer to them as Shakur anyway, because it was a big group and the influence was felt by many people who were not a part, but wanted to be down with us. Afeni Shakur, joined the party and then she was married to Lumumba Abdul Shakur for a few years. They were both part of the New York 21 case. So when she married Lumumba Abdul Shakur, that made her part of the Shakur family, then she legally changed her name to Shakur. Even after her and Lumumba broke up, she kept the name. Later on her and Mutulu Shakur were married. Mutulu Shakur was a younger brother in the same area where they lived in Jamaica Queens, who had adopted the Revolutionary lifestyle when he was about 14 or 15.

He was a legionnaire. He was involved in the first big shoot out at New Bethel Church in Detroit. At the Second Annual Convention of the Republic of New Afrika. There was a shoot out when the police assaulted that gathering. Mutulu was one of the legionnaires at the time in the military forces of the Republic of New Afrika, that was responsible for and actually defended the lives of many of our leaders that were there. A lot of them owe it to Mutulu for his level of discipline in saving their lives. Baba Herman Ferguson and Mama Iyaluah Ferguson were directly protected by Mutulu when things broke out. These are some of the figures that were members of the Shakur Family. Three of them that I named were directly involved in Tupac's life..... Assata Shakur became part of the family when Abba adopted Assata like he did the rest of us. It wasn''t through marriage, a lot of people who were attracted to our lifestyle of work and our style of living, accepted the name Shakur.


Formerly she was known as Joanne Chesimard, she became part of the family. Around the time of her arrest, that's when I first remember her using the name Assata Shakur, in ''73..... In 1977, Assata Shakur was convicted by an all- white jury and sentenced to life plus 33 years in prison. In 1979, fearing that she would be murdered in prison, and knowing that she would never receive any justice, Assata Shakur was liberated from prison, aided by committed comrades who understood the depths of the injustices in her case, and who were also extremely fearful for her life.Describe The soul of the Black Liberation Army (BLA), an underground, paramilitary Love and Revolutionary Greetings!
