Reclaiming Alkebulan: Africa’s True Identity 👑
2025
Africa, the world's second-largest continent, was originally known as Alkebulan—a name of ancient indigenous origin meaning “Mother of Mankind” or “Garden of Eden.” This name was widely used before foreign conquests and colonial cartography rebranded it as “Africa,” a name likely derived from the Roman term “Afri,” referring to a Berber tribe near Carthage (in modern-day Tunisia), and later Latinized as “Africa terra.” The renaming was part of a broader imperial strategy to erase native identities, impose foreign domination, and claim cultural ownership. Restoring the name Alkebulan is more than symbolic—it's a reclaiming of heritage, identity, and dignity. It's a powerful step toward decolonization and unity across the continent. #Alkebulan #AfricaRising #DecolonizeAfrica #BlackHistory #PanAfricanism #AfricanPride #Motherland #ReclaimAfrica #AfricanUnity #IndigenousNames #AfricanSovereignty #AfricanHistory #KnowYourRoots #AwakeningAfrica #AfricanPower #UnityInDiversity #RenameAfrica #TrueAfrica #AfricanStrength #CulturalReclamation
