#Africa – October 1, 2020 — The world had better brace itself for the State of the African Diaspora (SOAD) which is steadily progressing its vision and which in late September announced its adoption of a new currency called : the LUMI

“The LUMI digital currency Stimulus will be issued in the amount of US$100 per month (6.26 LUMI) to every African Diasporan and every African on the continent, 18 years and above, via a digital wallet. It will be issued for a period of 3 years.  The first issuance of funds will commence on October 1, 2020 and end in October 2023,” said Timothy McPherson, Minister of Finance of the Accompong Sovereign Nation of the Maroons and Chief of the Economic Community of the African Diaspora 6th Region (ECO-6).

The Accompong Maroons, which is its own village with its own government established since the 17th century in the hills of St. Elizabeth parish on the Caribbean island of Jamaica, commenced to use the LUMI as its local currency since 2018.

“Accompong’s new currency is a commodity underwritten with solar and renewable energy. It will contribute to Pan-african climate change initiatives and the development of sustainable energy throughout the diaspora and Africa,” shared H.E McPherson, Canadian born and educated in Economics and Literature.

At a value of $15.96 US per LUMI, over the next three years the stimulus funding will support training, entrepreneurship, skills development, business, healthcare, social economic growth, goods and services in the Diaspora and within the African Kingdoms. 

H.E. Timothy McPherson, Minister of Finance of the Accompong Sovereign Nation of the Maroons and Chief of the Economic Community of the African Diaspora 6th Region (ECO-6).

“The LUMI is underwritten by 100KWh of solar energy and convertible to 4 grains of gold.  4 grains of gold in weight equals 0.2592 grams.  The current value for 1 LUMI is US$15.96 making it a formidable currency for global Africans,” explained His Excellency Louis-Georges Tin, Prime Minister of SOAD, adding, “The LUMI is essential to our sovereignty. It is our pride, our strength and our future.”

And what a bright future the LUMI is designed to create; its very name is aimed at sending an enlightening message.

“LUMI from the word LUMINOUS symbolising the Sun (Ra)…”

Keturah Amoako, the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Repatriation of SOAD commented:  “We have been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time, the LUMI is the light a beacon which will lead us to economic empowerment, upliftment and for sure a sense of pride and dignity.  With the African Kingdoms and the African Diaspora integrated this is the ultimate unity and Pan-Africanism at its finest!’’

It was at a Royal Summit of Her Imperial Majesty, Queen Sheba III held on September 22, 2020 that the LUMI was formally introduced to the African Royal Kingdoms.  Prime Minister Tin jointly launched the LUMI as the official currency of the State of the African Diaspora (SOAD).

The Royal Summit, was held virtually under the theme ‘The 4th Industrial /Digital Revolution – The Reset.  Attendees learned that the US$ Six Trillion stimulus will be facilitated by the creation of a new bank for the African Kingdoms called: The Pan-African Kingdoms Bank.

#Africa, November 25, 2023 – As the country prepares for general elections in December women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo are experiencing some of the worst human rights abuses in the world according to UN reports.

“The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is on track to have record levels of verified grave violations against children for a third consecutive year in 2023 – In both 2021 and 2022, DRC had the world’s highest levels of verified cases of sexual violence against children committed by armed forces and armed groups,” UNESCO explained. The 2023 levels of ‘grave abuses’ against children has risen 41 percent this year.

It’s years of armed conflict between over 100 different rebel groups both foreign and local that has precipitated the foreboding increase. The UN is describing the resulting humanitarian crises in DRC as an epidemic of gender based violence.

Armed groups have been struggling for control of the DRC ever since rebels ousted from Rwanda captured the capital of then Zaire and renamed it the DRC.

Increased tensions have followed the planned departure of UN peace keepers under the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO).

MONUSCO, established by the UN in 2010 had been authorized to use all necessary means to carry out its mandate to ‘protect of civilians, humanitarian personnel and human rights defenders under imminent threat of physical violence and to support the Government of the DRC in its stabilization and peace consolidation efforts.’

It’s another UN intervention which has been labeled a failure.

More than five million people have been displaced because of the ongoing clashes.  The situation is expected to worsen in 2024.
