The ancient coastal city of Gedi, Kenya—a pre-colonial 11th-century trading hub built by Persian and later Arab settlers—boasted palaces, mosques, and advanced infrastructure before its mysterious 17th-century abandonment. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its ruins face threats from climate change and neglect, mirroring risks to Africa’s few protected sites. UNESCO’s Nairobi conference highlighted armed conflicts (Ukraine, Mali) and disasters (Uganda’s fire) as escalating dangers. Archaeologist George Abungu stressed that heritage preservation must prioritise local values over mere UNESCO listings. Gedi’s caretakers work to safeguard its "mystical beauty," though much of its history remains lost. The site underscores Africa’s underrepresented global heritage amid growing crises.

Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from the Gedi monument in Kenya's Kilifi County.

⁣Macka B's Medical Monday 'The Healthiest Spice In The World?'

⁣Who: You and those Afrikans=Black people interested in Afrikan=Black Liberation on a personal transformative level

What: The Kambondigm workshop series


Why:
The purpose of the Kambondigm: an efficient and effective way to look at and examine the global, national and community world in which we live. The Kambondigm is designed to not only teach us to fully understand what is going on, but also move to crush white terror domination and deceit with Black liberation. In looking at the Kambondigm, you will see the entire picture:
*genocide-democide-wrong concepts-subtle suicide-feedback-dewhiteneniztion-re-Afrikanization-Black liberation-new architects of the Afrikan paradigm-most of the Kambondigm is self-explanatory- so look at it, study it and, if you see a need to add, modify or even delete any item, do so-
I cannot over emphasize that the Kambondigm is not static-fixed in cement; but it is dynamic-ever changing to meet the situation we are in- the framework is really beautiful.
So, study it and save your life and the lives of those who have sense-those who reject the understanding of what is really going on will die a miserable and premature death
Black liberation gets us from under white terror domination and deceit-that lead to destruction and death (of all Afrikans). The books and resources shown below verify the first domain-genocide.
All the other works, narratives and sites in this work can be found in the Kambondigm- attend this workshop and learn

In a bold and historic move, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema and Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Masisi are joining forces to challenge Africa’s colonial past — starting with the borders that divide us. This inspirational story highlights their vision to break down artificial boundaries imposed by colonial rule, fostering true Pan-African unity, trade, and mobility.

This is more than politics — it’s a movement. A movement toward an Africa where people are not separated by lines drawn by outsiders, but united by shared heritage, culture, and purpose. What does this mean for Africa’s future? How could this change the continent forever?

Join us as we explore how this powerful collaboration could set the stage for a borderless Africa and a united generation of change-makers. 🇿🇲🤝🇧🇼

The Marimba and music Currulao from the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast of colombia meets with the ancestral homeland of Senegal and the ancestral Balafon. In our studies, the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast have theorized the Marimba is a descendant of the Balafon, and was reconstructed in the Choco rainforest when our ancestors were trafficked there. We also have a large ancestry from the ancient Mali empire in our Afrikan genepool, to include Senegambia.
