The continuing attempts by Zambia to force an independent nation of Barotseland to remain under its yoke, without its consent, is a flagrant violation of the rights of the Barotse people, with the result that, under international law, Zambian authorities and State institutions must immediately vacate Barotseland. The BNFA is calling on the people of Barotseland, wherever they may be, to append their names and signatures to the submission of Arbitration Agreement (submission Agreement) appended hereto, which has been prepared with the support of our international lawyers. The purpose of the submission Agreement is to compel Zambia to come before international courts with or without President Sata’s signature, subsequent to the Banjul petition as part of our continued efforts in building international pressure for the recognition of Barotseland statehood and Zambia to vacate our nation. This action, notwithstanding, we still reserve the right to pursue other options available to us at any time, now and in the future – including calling for international sanctions against Zambia.
We call upon you to contribute to this effort, en masse, by appending your name and signature to the submission Agreement to enable the BNFA Executive to take this initiative forward.
How do I submit my name and signature? Simply click on the submission Agreement to open it or click here, print and sign it with your compatriots, use additional paper to collect more signatures, if necessary. Scan the signed submission Agreement and all names and signatures. Send them by email to bnfa.info@gmail.com as an attachment.

Her resting place has since been named Mbatiwana, a Si-Luyana word meaning “you will find us.” The death of the Queen has been the first ever witnessed in respect of a reigning King of Barotseland and left staunch traditionalist, the old and the young bewildered as no one had a clue on how to handle a calamity of such a high ranking personality.
