Little is known in the UK about the ‘Kemite’ activist Kémi Seba who was recently sent to prison in France for speaking up against the Maafa and continuing anti-African abuse and injustice.

On November 30, a Paris court convicted Kémi Seba for having posted anti-Semitic comments on his internet website in August 2006. He was sentenced to a month in prison and two years of political office ineligibility in order to prevent him from following through with his intention to run for office in the municipal elections scheduled for March 2008 in Sarcelles, a northern Paris suburb. Kémi, 25 who founded the African Muslim based Tribu Ka organisation in 2004 announced his intention to appeal the sentence.

The comments that led to Kémi’s persecution stated that international institutions like the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Health Organization "are held by the Zionists who are imposing to Africa and its diaspora such extremely bad conditions that the Auschwitz concentration camp can appear as a paradise on earth."

As a result of publishing these comments the public prosecutor sought five months of imprisonment, an extraordinary request in a so-called defamation case which in reality was an attack on free speech. The Tribu Ka organisation had already been banned by the French government in July 2006. Its website was later shut down after its members descended on a Paris Jewish quarter. A Jewish website CFCA claims they were “wielding baseball bats and shouting anti-Semitic slogans”. Nocolas Sarkozy, the anti-African French President who visited the area on May 31, 2006, announced, "I don't want a single Jew to be afraid here. The fear of a single Jew is a stain on the French flag." However Sarkozy admitted that despite having video footage and witness statements the organisation members had not committed any crime.

Tribu Ka was criminalised on the basis of its spiritual-political leanings that advocated a return of all African people to the Continent. In response to Tribu Ka being outlawed, Kémi founded a new organisation, “Generation Kémi Seba” (GKS). Since then Kémi has been the target of a relentless campaign by the French authorities.

After an altercation with police on February 9, a court sentenced Kémi to five months in prison for referring to the departmental director of public security as "Zionist scum."

Kémi was accused of insulting a police officer by allegedly telling him “Aren’t you ashamed ? You crawl to Cukiermann (CRIF president NDLR), and you think you’re talking in the name of the French Republic! You make me want to puke, I’m telling you straight.”

Judge Emmanuel Binoche found that Kémi had "obviously gone beyond the necessary limits of the freedom of expression by stigmatising Jews as being responsible for black slavery, in a way that could result in disturbances and violence".

He continued;

"By citing a necessity to 'eradicate this zionist mafia' and a notion that 'the zionist octopus is destroying everything in its path by smothering every trace of human dignity', the defendant [Kémi Seba], by reiterating the fanciful thesis of such a plot, cannot seriously deny that he clearly means to stigmatise a group of people based on their religious affiliation, and also a race,"

Kémi Seba was sentenced to five months imprisonment (with three months suspended) for insulting behaviour, death threats to police officers and rebellion. Two other members of GKS were also sentenced to jail. An article on the seba-wsa website revealed that “Some [of the] witnesses [who attended Kémi ‘s trial] have publicly mentioned [being followed] by two unmarked police cars from Paris to the meeting place in Chartres, and [suspect that] a real trap organized with about a hundred cops [is being planned]”.

Extracts of an interview with Kémi Seba, 2006

Novopress - In speaking of France, you stated: "We are at war with this country...We will leave France the day she gives us what she owes to the descendants of slaves and those she colonized". This affirmation raises two questions: First of all, at how much do you estimate the total reparations owed by the whites - and in particular by the French - to the Kemites?

KS - There are estimates made with respect to the weight of the number of dead. Let's not forget that the Jews demanded reparations for six million dead during the Second World War; you see the State that was given to them and the total reparations they received. We begin at 150, 000,000 dead, either on the cotton fields or thrown from the boats, and that's a minimum, it's not a ceiling. So, comparing to the Shoah, you gave them a State and wealth enabling them today to rule, no matter what one says, the world and even the Western world, and you can imagine what it will be for us. But, and note well this example, when a rapist is judged, he doesn't ask how much he has to pay. He appears before the judge, he admits his guilt. The victim bases her plea to the judge on the degree of guilt that must be acknowledged. And the amount of this reparation will be given, in the final analysis, by the judge who will decide in all fairness.

Novopress - Second question on reparations. Since slavery was abolished in France in 1848, since the colonization of North Africa and black Africa ceased at the beginning of the '60's and since immigration officially stopped in 1974, you do agree that the Kemites and others who have come to settle on French soil after this date did so freely and voluntarily. They have not been deported or colonized.

KS - That's not true! And I'll tell you why. When you talk about a story, when you talk of the introduction, the development, the conclusion, you are talking about the ensemble, about cohesion, coherence. If you remove the development from its context, you cannot understand it, nor will you until you place it between the introduction and the conclusion. Today, we are not here because we love the Eiffel Tower or the Champs-Elysées, and I want you to know that! We are here because our ancestors, our great-grand-parents were carried off as slaves to the Antilles or enslaved in Africa. That's the reality of it! We are here because at a certain point there was a continent whose riches were pillaged, are still pillaged today by heads of state - when you look at the pawns that the Chiracs and the Sarkozys have put at the helms of our countries! These men are paid to be servants and alibis and France today is still pillaging the natural wealth, because it is surely not from the Champs-Elysées, the Eiffel Tower or the Seine that the French are drawing their natural resources. There are natural riches that are today being stolen, and this is logical in the mentality of slavery and colonization. Neocolonialism, Francafrica, I'm not making these things up! Even whites like François-Xavier Verschave indicate that there is in all this a proven reality, a logical sequence, a climate of oppression. And this climate of oppression means that neocolonialism shows up, for example, in the Antilles, where 90% of the population is black, but which is ruled by a minority of whites descended from slave traders. In Africa, it's the same thing. There are loads of Mafiosos groveling before the Chiracs and their entourage. There's one thing we say at the risk of shocking you: we would often prefer someone like Jean-Marie Le Pen to be leading the country, a white man who would not pretend to like blacks, who would tell them clearly that he doesn't like them, but who, certainly, would remove from power these Mafia-style leaders of African countries, so that we could live happy and free.

Novopress - In the same interview you state: "When we see white people in the street, we don't hunt them down!" And yet it was indeed a "hunt for white people" that even the most politically correct observers were forced to acknowledge during the high-school demonstrations in March 2005 and the anti-CPE riots in 2006. A "hunt for the whites" led by young blacks from the suburbs. How do you feel about that? Do you understand it? Do you approve it?

KS - I can understand their undeniable sense of injustice when for centuries they have been trampled on. When you see that in this country they still regard you as sub-human, that they still rob you, strike you, assault you, whether it's the so-called forces of state, or the militia of the judiciary police and all that comes after. When you see that this country that calls itself the land of Rights of Man is only the land of Rights of White Man, you are half as likely to succeed, not because you have fewer diplomas but because you are in a world where the essence of your identity is regarded as inferior. Because you are living in Judeo-Christian and Muslim values, values that have kept the black man enslaved in relation to his other "fellow humans", how can anyone expect people living in such injustice not to try and get justice themselves? Now, is that a good solution? The question does not even need to be asked. Each person sees things his way. We say that our enemies are those that trample on us. Those who block our path, we will break them, that's all! And in the anti-CPE demonstrations, I am of a mind to say that those anti-white attacks were a payback. If this country behaved justly, and liberated Africa, and gave back everything it owed to our people in terms of natural riches, even in terms of debts incurred by the murders it has committed, the young blacks (and believe me, you can be sure this is only the beginning) would not be inclined to attack whites. But no one ever asked the victim why he was angry at his aggressor. Dear Monsieur! The victim is always asked to forgive, but in order to forgive there has to be justice! No justice, no peace! And don't be surprised if, as more time goes by, the more those whom you call "young blacks" will be in a state of mind to get satisfaction by their own means, since the justice system is deaf to their needs.
