To Farmers, Take Back Your Land!

The small-scale village farmers are not farmers by choice. They did not wake up one day and decide to till the land because it promised riches or prestige. No, they were born into it; bound by the soil, just as their ancestors before them. When colonial education arrived, they started teaching us the ways of the white man and whispering in our ears that farming was for the backward and the uneducated, but our parents remained on the land.

To the Generation That Chose Fear and Silence, We Are Not You!

To those who lived through the KANU dictatorship and now urge us to be silent – we hear you. We know your fear because we grew up watching it shape you. We saw you lower your voices and retreat into survival mode as the regime killed and looted the country. But we are not you. We did not inherit your fear. You warn us to be careful, to stop provoking the President, to remember that he was part of the brutal Youth for KANU (YK-92) leadership that defended Moi’s dictatorship through intimidation, political violence, and bribery.

What we Stand For

Intellectual restoration

African people, like all other peoples, are bearers of civilizational seeds that have blossomed throughout history. Finding its first known fruition in ancient Egypt, there existed a consistent building and renewing of civilizations until the advent of the colonial state.

Economic self-determination

Our people live in saddening conditions marked by gut-wrenching poverty, are deprived of basic needs, their rights to self-determination, barred from their lands, and are everyday humiliated and subjugated in a world completely laid to waste by capitalism.

Ecological sovereignty

Today, large multinational corporations are waging war on the sovereignty of land, seed and food systems on the African continent and beyond. As the African savannah disappears to be replaced by an ever encroaching desert and concrete, our seeds are concurrently being patented and small farm holdings criminalized.
