The Akhet Contract: A Social Covenant for Rebirth

Preamble

We the sons and daughters of Africa, declare a renaissance for our people.

The undesirable socio-economic and political conditions of our people — after 500-plus years of global genocidal wars, slavery, colonialism and systematic dehumanization and degradation — beckons for a rebirth.

In response to that call, we look to the horizon at the rising of a new sun as a sign of the dawning of a new age, the age of Akhet.

Through the Akhet Covenant we redefine our social relationships and behaviors towards each other and the world.

The purpose of which is the producing of the necessary and sufficient power to create a new socio-political and economic ordering of society that benefits our people.
