Kamite New Year, Celebrated in Summer, Marks Year 6262, Not 2025On Saturday, several African communities came together to honor the Kamite New Year, a symbol of cultural resilience. "This calendar recalls the antiquity of our civilizations," explained Bayala Lianhoué Imhotep, a pan-African activist. Celebrated in countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, and Congo, the event embodies a reconnection with African roots. The term "Kamite" is derived from Kemet, the Ancient Egyptian word for "black earth," which Afrocentrists have adopted.
