Pan-African Education not Police Militarization

Pan-African Education Not Incarceration

“Education develops the intellect; and the intellect distinguishes man from other creatures. It is education that enables man to harness nature and utilize her resources for the well-being and improvement of his life. The key for the betterment and completeness of modern living is education.”

― Haile Selassie I

The Problem with Imported Policing Models like INTERPOL

INTERPOL, ICE, and similar systems are rooted in:

• Militarized enforcement

• Data surveillance and criminal profiling

• Cross-border targeting without cultural context

• Punitive logic that disconnects people from society

These foreign systems:

• Do not understand the cultural, spiritual, or historical roots of community issues

• Criminalize identities instead of addressing inequality

• Weaken community cohesion by removing conflict from the people and placing it in the hands of outside forces

Before colonization, indigenous peoples across Africa and the Caribbean governed themselves through restorative justice systems, rooted in communal values, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual accountability—not punishment or imprisonment.

In Africa, this philosophy is embodied in Ubuntu, the sacred principle that “I am because we are.” When someone broke community rules, the goal was not isolation but reintegration—to restore harmony, not inflict suffering.

Traditional methods included:

• Family and council mediation (e.g., Shimglena in Ethiopia, Palaver in West Africa, Maroon tribunals in Jamaica)

• Public reasoning circles where the offender and the offended spoke in the presence of elders and community

• Spiritual cleansing rituals and oaths to restore trust

• Reparative actions, such as helping the aggrieved party rebuild a house, grow crops, or care for a loved one

• Shaming through storytelling, not humiliation, but teaching the lesson for all generations

These methods centered the dignity of the individual and the collective—always seeking to heal, not humiliate; to transform, not terrorize.

Invitation to Partner with local and regional governments to Return to Our Own Justice

Rastafarian, Maroon, and other indigenous communities partnering with Regional governments to:

• Build justice rooted in Ubuntu, Livity, and ancestral governance

• Recognize that conflict is a chance for community to grow, not collapse

• Partner with Rastafari leaders, elders, and traditional councils to create safe, restorative communities

“Let the broken be healed in the circle of the community—not buried in a prison system that does not know their name or story.”

Let I & I carry this truth forward with clarity and strength. 🔥🦁
