PROPHECY FULFILLED



"Africans from America to build city in Ghana"

Fulfilling biblical prophecy (Genesis 15:13), prophecy in traditional
African lore and the dream of ancestors, like Marcus Garvey, two groups
founded by Africans from America have embarked on a project to develop
30,000 acres of land in the Eastern region of Ghana, West Africa into a
state of the art, self sustaining community.



Fihankra International, a Ghana based non-governmental organization
(NGO), and the 2020 Group, an African American Real Estate Investment
Group operating out of the United States, are proud to announce the launch
of a joint venture aimed at the expansion of Fihankra with the
construction of a new multi-million dollar township.



In addition to the residential and commercial properties that will be
built, the planned township will feature an African-centered secondary
(junior and senior high) boarding school, science and vocational center,
sports and entertainment complex, senior citizens home as well as an
international broadcast communications facility. All of these are to be
located in the Akwamu Traditional Area of Ghana’s Eastern Region.



"The school and other facilities will be developed upon the dual
foundation of respect for history and the application of scientific knowledge
in a creative and sustainable environment,"said Nana Kwadwo Akpan,
founder of Fihankra.



Fihankra, which translates "when leaving home goodbyes could not be
said", initiated this township development in 1997. In one of the earth's
most spectacular rolling mountain ranges and virgin forests the NGO has
carved out the beginnings of a full service community burgeoning with
potential. A major part of Fihankra's mission is promoting the cultural
and economic reintegration of Africa by its Diaspora. The establishment
of this partnership with the 2020 Group is the next phase of that
mission.



The 2020 Group was established by the d'Zert Club in January 2000 as a
limited partnership, with the express purpose of investing in real
estate development projects in Africa, after the club visited Ghana with
220 students, parents and adult group leaders



This monumental undertaking arises out of the historic atonement
ceremony held in December 1994 in Accra, Ghana where representatives of
Ghana's National House of Chiefs, along with the Spiritual Head of the
Godian Mission of Nigeria, ceremonially opened the gateway to Africa to the
descendants of Africans born in the Diaspora as a direct result of the
trans-Atlantic slave trade. This historic ceremony customarily
referred to as The Purification of the Stool and Skin of Fihankra consisted of
an apology for the participation of some chiefs of the past who
supported and profited from the slave trade. The event was witnessed by the
more than 3,000.



A large area of land was then set aside with the intent to provide both
a spiritual and customary home for Diasporan Africans wishing to
repatriate to Ghana. The portion of land upon which the township is being
constructed is part of that larger land area. The township named Ye Fa
Ogyamu, means "we have passed through fire" and reflects the trials of
Africans of the Diaspora over centuries of separation from their ancestral
homeland. This historic venture comes at a time when the world's
attention is being captured by events in and concern for the Motherland as
exemplified by the recent Live 8 Concerts and G 8 Summit.



Historically, Ghana has been a beacon of hope for all African people.
The many encouraging statements promoting social and economic
cooperation between Africans from both sides of the Atlantic made by Ghana's
founding patriot Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and by its numerous heads of state since
that time, best illustrate this fact. With the launch of this project
the union of cultural reawakening and cooperative economic planning are
welded into a concrete form through which all African people will
benefit.



From August 7th to August 19th the 2020 Group will sponsor "A
Homecoming 2005 Tour" with visits to Egypt and Ghana. One of the highlights of
this tour will be the 2-day "homecoming" to Ye Fa Ogyamu. Among the
many exciting events planned are: The Cross-Over Ceremony, artistic
performances, the groundbreaking for the first homes, the secondary and
vocational school complex and a cruise down the Volta River.
