- PROLEGOMENA
The great Bantu migration:
Abantu abakhulu bahamba ngokushesha (The big people walk quickly).
Every black people sprinkled in the world is Bantu.
The word Bantu means « The people » and by extension the « Black people ».
They started out of Central Africa, now known as Cameroon and the region of Lobaya in Central African republic (CAR).
From about 1000 bc, they began to spread out iron metallurgy and agricultural techniques across most of central, eastern, and southern Africa, reaching the south-east coast of South Africa in the 3rd or 4th centuries ad.
And it was over some 2,000 years.
Bantu-speakers developed novel methods of agriculture and metalworking which allowed people to colonize new areas with widely varying ecologies in greater densities than hunting and foraging permitted.
It was the biggest migration of the world.
It took two basic routes out of their home, one mostly southward, and one mostly eastward.
And the thing is not yet certain, but some historians claim that the first natives of United states of America were Bantu.
- THE NEW EXPANSION
The Bokanga project:
The world changed, and it is impossible today to redo this migration of the Bantu ancestors.
Multiple colonizations and the slavery modified and disintegrated the Bantu universe and unity.
So much that this people lost many of his references, and he is now culturally separate.
Bokanga was one of major centres of the past expansion of the Bantus, and the project which wears its name consists in creating a socio-culturo-économic model for all the current Bantus and to be a reference for all the peoples in search of inspiration and human enrichment.
The Bokanga project consists in making of the region of Lobaya, the former Principality of Prince Alphonse, my grandfather, this model.
So, that from there, by linking to help the development of the Central African Republic, and to become too, a crossroads for the union of the peoples.
Concretely it will be:
- To rebuild and modernize Lobaya (Health, environment, education, economy, administration, ecology...)
- To create research centers and manage cooperation with others centers about the bantu history.
- To lead actions of sponsorship for the Art, scientific research and charities for Africa.
- To facilitate the development of the Central African Republic.
- To afford money and support to african small-projects.
- To distribute scholarships to african students.
Such are among others activities of development the purposes of the Chancellery.
