The Toubou [Tabu, Tebu] of Southern Libya in the immediate Aftermath of the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi by NATO. [2011]⁣


For the first time in 42 years, a camera enters Southern Libya in what was forbidden territory under the Gaddafi regime.

Shortly after Gaddafi’s demise, we accompany members of the disgraced Tabu tribe along the road to their impoverished desert territory near the Algeria-Niger-Chad borders 1000 Km from Tripoli.

⁣Black Wallstreet is well-known but between 1856-1920, over 50 all-Black towns were established in the state of Oklahoma...13 are still incorporated today. Throughout the U.S., Black people in the 19th and early 20th centuries sought out AUTONOMY by forming their own towns and controlling all aspects of their own lives.

⁣The album Sorrow Tears And Blood is the first release on Baba Fẹlá’s newly formed label, Kalakuta Records. The title track was written in response to the South African government’s murderous reaction to the Soweto uprising of 1976 but the sleeve carries a dedication to the victims of the attack on Kalakuta

A conversation with one of the worlds leading Pan-African linguists & founder of the Pan-African Literacy Project - discovering the common roots in African languages in order to chart a course to Africas future development. In this conversation, we will explore the relationship between Language & political, economic & scientific development. We will asses whether the many languages in Africa are an asset or hinderance. We will look at what it means to harmonise & standardise African Languages.

⁣This is the modern-day story of a Black native peoples' remarkable victory
over western colonial terrorism. A Pacific island rose up in arms against
giant mining corporation Rio Tinto Zinc (RTZ) - and won despite a
military occupation and blockade. When RTZ decided to step up production
at the Panguna Mine on the island of Bougainville, they got more than
they bargained for.

The island's Black people had enough of seeing their environment ruined and
being treated as pawns by RTZ. RTZ refused to compensate them, so the
people decided it was time to put an end to outside interference in the
islands affairs. To do this they forcibly closed down the mine.

The Papua New Guinea Army (PNGDF) were mobilized in an attempt to put
down the rebellion. The newly formed Bougainville Revolutionary Army
(BRA) began the fight with bows & arrows and sticks & stones.
Against a heavily armed adversary they still managed to retain control
of most of their island.

Realizing they were beaten on the ground, the PNGDF imposed a gunboat
blockade around Bougainville, in an attempt to strangle the BRA into
submission. But the blockade seemed to have little or no effect. With no
shipments getting in or out of the island, how did new electricity
networks spring up in BRA held territory? How were BRA troops able to
drive around the island without any source of petrol or diesel?

What was happening within the blockade was an environmental and
spiritual revolution. The ruins of the old Panguna mine were being
recycled... to supply the raw materials for the worlds first
eco-revolution.

Abibifahodie! Abibitumi!
