“Absolutely brilliant!”
- Dr. Naledi Pandor, Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Republic of South Africa and Chair of Commission 6, 9th Pan African Congrss.

If numbers were strength, unity would be the multiplier:
Potential (P) = Resources (R) × People (N)
Actual Power (AP) = Potential (P) × Unity (U)
Without Unity (U) [which Nkrumah based on “defence, foreign affairs and diplomacy, a common citizenship, an African currency, an African monetary zone, and an African central bank”], the formula collapses, because anything multiplied by zero results in zero.
Africa's resources and people are vast—our Potential (P) is unmatched. But Actual Power (AP) remains weak, because disunity reduces our potential to fragments.
Until U ≠ 0, Africa cannot solve for its future. Unity is not just a factor; it is the key that transforms Potential into Actual Power.
The Formula for Africa’s Strength:
Unite our vision: Align behind shared goals.
Multiply our efforts: Combine strengths across borders.
Divide no more: Eliminate the divisions that weaken us.

ADDING THE AFRODESCENDANTS INTO THE ALGORITHMIC AFRICAN UNITY EQUATION
Potential (P) = Resources (R+ƒ250 million) × People (N+250 million)
Actual Power (AP) = Potential (P) × Unity (U = vision, defence, foreign affairs and diplomacy, a common citizenship, an African currency, an African monetary zone, and an African central bank)
***********************************************************************************************************
ADDING THE LINEAGE RESTORATION INTO THE ALGORITHMIC AFRICAN UNITY EQUATION
Potential (P) = Resources (R+ƒ250 million) × People (N+250 million)
Actual Power (AP) = Potential (P) × Unity (U = vision, defence, foreign affairs and diplomacy, a common citizenship, an African currency, an African monetary zone, and an African central bank + lineage restoration connections + broad based development)

ADDING REPARATIONS FOR WAR DAMAGE INTO THE ALGORITHMIC AFRICAN UNITY EQUATION
Potential (P) = Resources (R+ƒ250 million + $177T Reparations) × People (N+250 million)
Actual Power (AP) = Potential (P) × Unity (U = vision, defence, foreign affairs and diplomacy, a common citizenship, an African currency, an African monetary zone, and an African central bank + lineage restoration connections + broad based development)
RECOMMENDATION 1: All African governments should follow the example of Benin and pass such a law during 2026 to start the 2026-2036 Decade of Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations. Alternatively, the African Union could issue a “6th Region” passport, using the Benin model, that would function as a visa-free pass and permanent residence card in all of the continental five regions of the African Union. In one fell swoop, the African Union would have its holy grail: a Diaspora Database and the basis for Diaspora financial instruments!
RECOMMENDATION 2: Funding and support be provided to the Balanta B’urassa History and Genealogy Society to complete its Decade of Return Lineage Restoration Project to systematically test male and female heads of Balanta families in the thirty-nine sectors in the nine regions of Guinea Bissau to provide proof of concept for the remedy for Ethnocide.
RECOMMENDATION 3: We need consensus on this from the AU Legal Reference Group, the African Committee of Experts on Reparations, CARICOM Reparations Commission, and all major stakeholders like NCOBRA, Reparations United, First Repair, and its counterparts in North, South and Central America. Then we request an Advisory Opinion from the International Court of Justice on the following questions:
(a) Is the Dum Diversas apostolic decree issued by Pope Nicholas V on June 18, 1452 a declaration of “total war” - warfare that includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, mobilizes all of the resources of society to fight the war, and gives priority to warfare over non-combatant needs - and therefore a war crime and a crime against humanity? Is there a statute of limitation regarding reparations for this war crime and crime against humanity?
(b) Were the people captured as a result of the Dum Diversas apostolic decree “prisoners of war” and do their descendants retain that status until their final “release and repatriation” under the Geneva Convention? (18)
(c) Have the Afro Descendants - black folks - now within the United States ever been converted, in accordance with settled principles of universally established law, into United States citizens, and divested altogether of their original foreign African nationality? (19)
(d) What rights do the Afro Descendants throughout the Americas and Caribbean have to exercise self-determination and conduct plebiscites to discern who wants to repatriate to their ancestral homeland, who wants to establish independent nation states of their own, and who wants to integrate into the states they currently reside? (20)
(e) What are the legal consequences that arise for all States and the United Nations from the above?
