The Breath of Gaza: The Rise of Muslim Pan-Africanism
The Breath of Gaza: The Rise of Muslim Pan-Africanism is a bold and visionary essay that explores the reawakening of a Pan-Africanism rooted in Islamic values, ignited by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine. Through sharp political insight and historical depth, the author argues that the suffering of Gaza has become a catalyst for renewed spiritual and political consciousness across Muslim Africa.
In a world where international law is eroding and the old global order is unraveling, this book offers a fresh perspective on North-South relations. It highlights the emergence of a Muslim Pan-African front that draws from the continent's own cultural, religious, and intellectual heritage to shape its future.
The first section presents a sober diagnosis of global dysfunction-failed institutions, dehumanizing narratives, and resurgent neo-imperialism. Against this backdrop, the author traces the historical roots of Muslim Pan-Africanism, spotlighting figures such as Cheikh Anta Diop, Amadou Bamba, and Uthman Dan Fodio, who embodied the fusion of Islamic faith and African political identity.
At the heart of this vision lie the Sufi brotherhoods, cross-border solidarity, and the Arabic language-as the language of the Qur'an and a unifying force. Islam, the author contends, holds the potential to transcend colonial legacies and heal the fractures between Anglophone, Francophone, and Lusophone Africa. The book champions justice, dignity, equality, and the rejection of tribalism and racism as core principles of a renewed continental unity.
Far from being abstract, this work lays out practical strategies: strengthening Islamic regional institutions like CEN-SAD and the OIC, reforming education systems to reflect African Islamic values, promoting ethical trade through a continental market, and adopting Islamic finance as a viable alternative to exploitative global capitalism. It also explores how a spiritually rooted approach to ecology-"Islamic environmentalism"-can support sustainable development and responsible resource stewardship.
The Breath of Gaza is more than a call for solidarity with Palestine. It is a political manifesto, a roadmap for sovereignty, and a bold invitation for Africa's Muslim populations to assert themselves on the global stage. Here, Islam is not seen as a barrier but as a force of resistance, unity, and transformation-empowering Africa to break free from dependency and reclaim its rightful voice in shaping the world of tomorrow.
