Our steamed elder, Mama Marimba Ani addresses the crowd during the closing remarks of the National Race 1st Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, 2025.

In this powerful address, Mama Marimba Ani calls us to recapture the tradition of African sovereignty that was lost when leadership lost vision and accommodation replaced determination.

She reminds us that:
𓅃𓇴 We are at war for our people — a matter of life and death.
𓅃𓇴 African people cannot find safety in systems built by our oppressors — true security is only through African power.
𓅃𓇴 Our children must be raised as leaders, visionaries, and protectors, prepared for sovereignty worldwide.
𓅃𓇴 Liberation is not a weekend activity — it must become a way of life.

This message is more than words — it’s a call to organize, unify, and build systems that ensure our future. 💚❤🖤

🌍 African sovereignty is not optional — it is our path to survival and victory.

Bomba is a traditional Black music genre made by the Abibifo⁣ɔ on the island of Boriken (aka puerto rico).

⁣Pan-Abibiwiase (Black World) musical collaboration when the marimba meets the balafon, and Abibifoɔ across the ocean re-connect. The marimba is from Abibiman developed in 'colombia' by Abibifoɔ and the main instrument of the Black genre from the southern hemisphere called Currulao. The balafon is an ancient Abibiman instrument heavily found in the present day countries of the ancient Mali empire, such as Senegal as represented here. Currulao players have theorized the marimba is a descendant of the balafon, reconstructed in the Choco rainforest of the Southern hemisphere from the memory ⁣Abibifoɔ had of back home. The marimba player is Hugo Candelario, from Guapi, Cauca, and one of the country's best marimba players.

This video captures goodwill messages delivered during the historic MoU signing and unveiling of the Black Panther Party Cubs (BPPC) Ghana Community Embassy / Continental Liaison Office hosted at Abibitumi Headquarters in Akuapem Mampɔn, Ghana on Saturday, 24 January 2026.Nana Yirenkyi, Apɛsɛmakahene and representative of the Akuapem Mampɔn Traditional Council shared remarks pledging to engage traditional leadership to support and promote the Abibitumi agenda, and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people and traditional rulers. Other participants also offered goodwill messages in support of the initiative.Dr. Ɛfo Sela Adjei and D.O.O.R. partner Cashawn Myers of HABESHA Foundation speaker thanked Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. for joining and for taking the initiative to open an important new chapter for Black people in Ghana. They affirmed ongoing support “on the ground,” emphasizing the shared commitment to nurturing a new generation of Black founders and freedom fighters through principled unity and practical collaboration.Event context (for accurate reportage):• This program unveiled the BPPC Ghana Community Embassy at Abibitumi Headquarters.• This is a community embassy / continental liaison office — not a diplomatic embassy issuing state documents.• The focus is repatriation and structured pathways for diaspora-based Black people to reconnect and build in Ghana and beyond.Location: Abibitumi Headquarters, 1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, Ghana#abibitumi #blackpantherpartycubs #repatriation #ghana #AkuapemMampɔn #fredhampton #blackpowerranger https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com

On Saturday, 24 January 2026 (2:00 PM GMT), Abibitumi Headquarters (1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, Eastern Region, Ghana) hosted a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing and the unveiling of the Black Panther Party Cubs (BPPC) Ghana Community Embassy / Continental Liaison Office.This event is about REPATRIATION (not “reparations” in the conventional sense). The purpose of the BPPC Community Embassy is to serve as a structured point of contact on the continent—providing reception, orientation, and practical pathways for BPPC members and families (and aligned networks) who want to repatriate to Ghana and beyond through values-aligned support.IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION (for accurate reporting):Some early coverage mistakenly framed this event as the unveiling of Abibitumi as the UNIA embassy. That UNIA Embassy was established under a separate MoU signed in 2025 between the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Abibitumi, and RepatriateToGhana.com (R2GH). Saturday’s event (24 Jan 2026) was specifically the BPPC Community Embassy unveiling under a new MoU.Reference (UNIA 2025 MoU coverage):https://www.myjoyonline.com/un....ia-signs-mou-with-ab & run of show:The program opened with mini-documentaries on Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. and the continued work of Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. This provided context for why Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. (posthumously) and Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. received citation awards at the Abibitumi Conference and Abibifahodie Festival 2025, prior to Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr.’s arrival.Key themes highlighted during the event included:• 60 years of the Black Panther Party (founded 1966)• 20 years of Abibitumi (founded 2006)• 100 years of Black History Month (originating 1926)• Major Black world events in years ending in “26,” reinforcing a long historical arc beyond a single country or single date• D.O.O.R. (Decade of Our Repatriation), framed as “self-reparations” through repatriation and nation-building actionThe D.O.O.R. initiative—spearheaded by Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon and endorsed by the Office of the President (Diaspora Affairs Office) and the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC)—focuses on practical repatriation outcomes (citizenship pathways, housing, integration, and economic opportunities). This self-reparations framework complements (but is distinct from) externally-directed reparations efforts pursued in the conventional sense by other actors, including President Mahama in his A.U.-linked reparations role and Hon. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah.Venue: Abibitumi Headquarters, 1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, GhanaPress / Media: pa@abibitumi.com | +233 54 502 8875Registration page: https://abibitumi.com/BlackPantherPartyCubsMore info on D.O.O.R. https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com#Abibitumi #blackpantherpartycubs #repatriation #door #blackhistorymonth #fredhampton #ghana #panafricanism
