June 20, 2022 (St George’s, Bermuda) The newly created Sophia Federation continued it’s Bermuda Day campaign for “Mother Earth” by announcing a “Juneteenth Jubilee” on June 19, 2022 at the Buna Gallery and Coffee House in Sandy’s, Middle Road.

The Juneteenth Jubilee featured diplomatic presentations by Her Excellency Huda Durri mirroring ancient Ge’s Royal Court, an ancient Æthiopic Queen Sheba’s homestead in East Africa, which historically represents the intuitive trust bonds among humanity through true love’s wisdom, and by Prime Minister Captain Doctor Gerald Higginbotham from the American Slave Nation – a treaty based organization in America representing some 21 million Americans who can trace their ancestral origins to slavery before the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Both Her Excellency and Prime Minister are visiting Bermuda from California – the US State named after the acclaimed Cushitic Queen Califia from antiquity. 

The focus on Juneteenth has global implications because American slavery was essential to the emergence of the industrial revolution in agriculture, manufacturing and banking. It is estimated that the present value of U.S. slave labor from 1776 to 1865 in current functional dollars could range from $5.9 to $14.2 trillion. Meanwhile, it is also estimated that the total value derived from American slavery in modern world trade is worth US$105 trillion dollars.

The Juneteenth Jubilee highlighted the strategic role that Bermuda can now play – particularly at home and with California and East Africa – to alleviate poverty around the world by recognizing the island’s role in both the slave trade with the United States and now with the global insurance industry.

East Africa – the traditional homeland for Cushitic civilization – is suffering the worst famine conditions in 40 years while California is experiencing the worst drought conditions in living memory. These extreme circumstances serve as a common interest, requiring new diplomacy towards those who are most vulnerable both from a cultural and ideological perspective. The Juneteenth Jubilee approach to slavery and emancipation will be used as an ethical framework  to establish new treasury priorities for risk management and disaster preparedness.

Bermuda introduced the first slaves to Virginia in 1619, paving the way for English competition with other empires in the New World especially the Portuguese and the Spanish. Bermuda also played a dominant role in captive insurance as a global laboratory for catastrophic risk management. Today, Bermuda can be just as instrumental to the alleviation of global poverty through the creation of new ethical insurance policies based on jubilee, emancipation, and debt forgiveness.

HE Huda Durri explained how her migration from Ethiopia to the USA enabled her to value the civil rights arising from emancipation and to focus on the insurance industry as an essential pillar for economic security. 

Prime Minister Gerald Higginbotham gave a comprehensive history of the “slave culture” in America and the constitutional implications for the federal government – especially in light of increasing calls for reparations to the slave descendant population.

The panel discussion highlighted the point that when America sneezes the world catches the cold, with Bermuda being first in line. The Juneteenth Jubilee by the Sophia Federation provides the diplomatic framework for local leaders in Bermuda to both influence and benefit from new federal policies catering to America’s slave culture. 

More importantly, according to the panelists, the Juneteenth Jubilee also empowers Bermuda to serve as the global jurisdiction for new reinsurance structures that enable overseas expansion for slavery descendant funding protocols that will help underwrite poverty alleviation around the world.
