Melanesian Independence Declaration

1. We declare that WE ARE ONE PEOPLE: the Afrikans in the South Pacific Islands,
   • the original inhabitants of the Earth, spanning from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania to Americas;
   • the original people that represent the image and spirit of the “Earth”, by the way of our colour, our worldview, our Melanesian Way with our hope for future.
2. We declare that we Afrikans in the South Pacific Islands WE ARE ONE in our ORIGIN,
   • descended from one father and one mother,
   • descended from our one home-island, and
   • inherit one way of life, and
   • all have one destiny as a human race.
3. We declare that we Afrikans in the South Pacific Islands live in ONE HOME “the Melanesian Archipelago”, that spans from the Four-Kings Islands in West Papua as westernmost part of Melanesia to Fiji and Wallis – Futuna Islands on the easternmost part:
   1. The Isle of New Guinea, as or Home of Origin, where we all came from.
   2. At the same time we declare that New Guinea Island as our HOME OF DESTINY, where all of us will finally come to at the end of our history!
4. We declare that as 1 People, 1 Human Race and 1 Human Identity: “the Afrikans in the South Pacific“, are fully rightful to self-define and self-determine future; and therefore, we hereby declare to all beings that:
   • WE ARE NOT West Papuans,
   • WE ARE NOT Papua New Guineans,
   • WE ARE NOT Solomon Islanders,
   • WE ARE NOT ni-Vanuatu,
   • WE ARE NOT New Caledonians,
   • WE ARE NOT Fijians.
   • WE ARE NOT Savages, cannibals, unbelievers, primitives and undeveloped peoples who beg your humanitarian assistance in any kinds and forms.
5. We, therefore, declare that the occupation and exploitation of our home-island by un-wanted, un-invited, illegal inhabitants is a gross violation of our collective human rights,
6. That any foreign interventions and influences into our daily lives in various aspects, in the names of religion, modernization, democracy, development, progress, prosperity and wealth are clearly forms of colonialism to conquer, to occupy, to rob and to wipe us out, that are manipulative, and intended to extract our rich natural resources and destroy our rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
7. We, therefore, will collectively re-claim our home, our identity, and our dignity back for the sake of ourselves today and more importantly for generations to come.
8. May our ancestors, current and  future generations, and those who have died for our cause be protected and nurtured by God. May God Almighty protect, nurture and defend, bless us all as we declare all these, for the glory and honour of His Name ONLY and for the security, protection and prosperity of His Creation, the Afrikans of the South Pacific Islands, representing the Afrikans of the world, as part of the global human community.

As a the  People of

• One Origin by blood and home,
• One Soul by spirit, and
• One Destiny by nature,

we declare to the world that this proclamation is made based on our own awareness of our origin, our existence and our destiny on this planet Earth, in order to allow our Melanesian Spirit, Culture, and Wisdom to be freely expressed and shared, in order to help our humanity continue its journey form this point of time onward, until time immemorial, in peace based on truth and justice and harmony out of balance in life.

Yes, we the Afrikans Across the Waters of the South Pacific were, are and will always be ONE! no matter what! WE ARE MELANESIA!
