Political and Philosophical Thoughts by President Dr. Kumba Yala

After a devastating civil war and the ousting of the former President, a new presidential election was held on January 16, 2000 and Dr. Kumba Yala was elected as President of the Republic of Guinea Bissau. Having won 73% of the votes - a feat never before achieved in all of West Africa by any opposition candidate. - he thus became one of the most important and most famous figures in the history of Guinea-Bissau. Kumba Yala then became a “hero” in the minds and hearts of Guineans (especially his Balanta people). The Balanta B’urassa History and Genealogy Society in America (BBHAGSIA) is therefore proud to re-publish Dr. Kumba Yala's book, Political and philosophical thoughts Volume 1, to Commemorate the 26th Anniversary of His Historic Presidential Election.

“What makes this re-publication of his book so special is that it is translated into Balanta, English and French, making it a very unique book indeed.”

- Siphiwe Baleka, President of BBHAGSIA

COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE! 21ST CENTURY BLACK PROPHETIC FAITH AND PAN AFRICAN DIPLOMACY

Book Synopsis

When the World Trade Center was destroyed on September 11, 2001 – the same day that Ethiopians celebrate New Year’s Day – a few black men in America interpreted this event as the fulfillment of the biblical book of Revelations Chapter 18. Verses 4 and 5 commanded them to “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven and God has remembered her crimes”. Obediently, Ras Nathaniel organized a mass Repatriation movement and led a diplomatic effort at the African Union on behalf of an estimated one million Rastafarians. There was just six years before the prophecy fulfilled for the Ethiopian Millennium which, on the western Gregorian calendar would begin on September 11, 2007.

_____________________________________________________________

In 1619, the first 20 Africans were brought to Jamestown, Virginia. They all had one common desire: return to their home in Africa. In every period since that time to the present, the most learned, respected and courageous of the Africans and their descendants concluded that they must either revolt against their enslavers or find some way to return to their home, the land which the Bible called “Ethiopia”. From this land a Universal Black King would be born with the titles King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of Judah. Biblical prophets claimed that Princes would come out of her, that Ethiopia would stretch forth her hands, and her scattered, captive children would be brought home. In every period in American history, black men remained faithful to these scriptures and rejected America’s forced assimilation. Men like
