The Republic of New Afrika (RNA) is a black nationalist movement in the United States that aims to create a separate state for the African diaspora.
Foundation
The RNA declared independence in 1968.
Principles
There are five basic principles of New Afrikan Political Science:[1]
- Black people should not have had U.S. citizenship forced upon them and it should have been offered instead.
- New Afrikans should be able to choose whether they want to be U.S. citizens or citizens of another country. Either way, they should be given reparations.
- The RNA cannot be independent if the U.S. continues to exist as a capitalist and imperialist power.
- New Afrikans are fighting a war against the U.S. for their self-determination and the self-determination of other oppressed nations.
- Black people must be conscious of their identity as New Afrikans to achieve independence and self-determination.
