Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:

THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain

Bla Xit family this episode contains violent scenes so please beware. This programme is a collection analysis of our alternatives to life in the West. No mother or father should have to grieve their young sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, friends and loved ones and loose them to racist violence. With the recent violent intentional killing of George Floyd by an officer has created trauma within our community. So have the many cases of killing and violent ****ault against the African community worldwide. WWW. Freewestpapua.org shows the on going genocide and slavery of our people. I have made this to let you know it is time to Bla xit its time to come home

We’ve been sold a lie: that “Western Civilization” is the pinnacle of human progress, reason, and morality. But that’s propaganda talking.

I spent the first 21 years of my life fully indoctrinated in Christian Conservatism, which I now realize is the cultural foundation for the empire that is the United States. Deconstructing Christianity and colonization is a never-ending journey, but we all have to start somewhere because we all have a part to play in building a better, more equitable future.

And that’s gonna have to start with debunking the idea that we were ever the supreme civilization in the first place.
