ALKEBULAN

The original name of Africa

Africa, This beautiful sunny continent reveals its origins here, reveals its first name.

A name imbued with love and glory, haloed by an established civilization.

Century after Century, it has taken on different names and received many socio-cultural influences to become This fragile continent today.

A continent that mourns everyday for its thousands of daughters and sons Who destroy their lives in the vast expanse of salt water.

This collection of poems, against background of melancoly, exalts cultural plurality, the beauty of an Africa whose values are crumbling.

Africa invites us to return to the fundamentals to ensure our survival, the survival of its children to save its lost generations.
