"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.

Make Cush Great Again!

By David Gurak, Arizona, USA

Land of Cush; the birthplace of humanity, I refuse to be an interloper in another man’s country.

Land of Cush; the oldest known civilization, I refuse to be debased to the World’s newest nation.

Land of Cush; of thousands years old history, I refuse to be packed in a 9 years old misery.

Land of Cush; land of great Queens and Kings, I refuse to bow down to looters and thugs.

Land of Cush; of Amanirenas, Tirhakah and Garang, I refuse to be ruled by a few corrupted gangs.

Land of Cush; glorious land of great stride I refuse to allow your history to be brushed aside.

Land of Cush; land of the mighty Cushites, I refuse to be known by any other names.

Beloved Land of Cush; of milk, honey and grains, I refuse to celebrate till Cush is great again.
