The Midnight / The Veil

The Midnight / The Veil: Unmasking Africa's Betrayal, Awakening Africa's Destiny is a bold and uncompromising manifesto by Adrianus Andrew Muganga (Ramadan) and Leonard Sachi Ngelela. Written as a continuation of their earlier work The United Nations of Africa (UNA), this book exposes the falsehoods surrounding African independence, the propaganda of poverty, and the deep betrayals by both foreign powers and Africa's own leaders. The authors argue that what Africa received in the mid-20th century was not true liberation but "flag independence" — sovereignty in name while economic and political control remained in foreign hands. Too often, those entrusted with freedom became agents of corruption, trading dignity and resources for personal gain. This betrayal, they contend, is why a continent so rich in land, minerals, and people is still branded "the poorest on earth." Through fiery prose and grounded evidence, The Midnight / The Veil unmasks the myths that have kept Africa subdued: the lie of poverty, the politics of handouts, and the silence of fear. It insists that Africa is not poor but plundered, not weak but divided. With statistics, history, and prophetic urgency, the book reveals how natural resources, fertile land, and the youngest population on the planet are Africa's greatest inheritance — but only if reclaimed through unity and justice. At its heart, this is more than a critique. It is a call to action — directed especially to Africa's youth and diaspora. The authors envision a future of one Africa: one currency, one parliament, one army, one destiny. They urge a generation betrayed by false promises to rise, to reject propaganda, and to complete the unfinished dream of true liberation. The Midnight / The Veil is not written for comfort but for awakening. It will anger, inspire, and challenge readers to see Africa not as a beggar but as a sleeping giant. For those inside and outside the continent who long for truth, justice, and partnership, this book is both mirror and roadmap. The midnight may be deep, but dawn is near — and the veil will be torn.
