Bruly Bouabré invented an alphabet of 448 monosyllabic pictograms capable of reproducing all human sounds. To this end, he indicates that “it is important for Africans to have their own writing. If the Europeans, for example, have overtaken us, it is because they have writing. Writing is a remedy against forgetting, because forgetting is a formidable factor in ignorance. We do not forget what is written. Writing deifies man and is the crucible where the memory of man lives. This is why I insist on the presentation of the West African Alphabet. People who don't write have no value. I imitated the sounds and I managed to create an alphabet. But, it must be said that everything is linked to the stones of Becloi. Indeed, it was in 1952 that I went to Becloi, a small village on the Daloa-Issia axis (central west of the Ivory Coast) where there are a variety of small red and black stones, probably from naturally occurring but traditionally considered supernatural. These stones come in a wide variety of shapes and bear geometric designs. As soon as I saw them, I thought they must be the remains of some ancient writing. I make the link with a game played by children in my village in Daloa. This game which consists in linking words from signs separated from each other. We place palm seeds to read them and it gave for example: "the road, however we can clean it, it does not lack obstacles". Signs formulate images and carry messages. Men are wrong to take themselves for the only designers in the world. The chance of nature traces on a banana or orange peel. The wind pushes clouds that cut out shapes in the blue of the sky. A jet of cola juice chewed on a page speaks. All the signs carry messages that man would benefit from learning, seeing and understanding because in the form of the signs, good and evil are expressed. »
"I found an alphabet and I am ready to teach it to anyone who wants to learn it ... This alphabet belongs to Africans, it is up to them to appropriate it. It is universal and works for the conservation of human knowledge, "he says.
The elect of God are the persecuted, the innocent. They prove the existence of God because, according to Bruly, the dominants are more numerous than the innocents and yet that did not lead to their extermination. The victims of oppression are superior to those who oppress them: "Those persecuted today in the darkness of injustice will appear victorious tomorrow in the apotheosis of light." It establishes a dualism between evil and good, Satan and God, dominant and dominated, oppressive and persecuted, a theme radicalized in the discourse of the Pentecostal and Evangelical churches.
This apology of the victim refers to the Judeo-Christian framework where the victimization is the mark of the Messiah and in another way can be related to the notion of jeremiad. Notion
4 "God has created three persons: the Angel who is the Genius of 'Goodness', the Devil who is the Genius of' Evil 'and the Man who will be perfect only by saving his Soul destined to enjoy' Happiness divine'. The Devil, jealous of the happiness that God has promised to the soul of man, drives man to anger to commit crimes that cause the soul to lose. The Angel always dictates the Way that Man must follow to save his Soul. Man is saved or lost as he follows the advice of the Angel or the Devil.

In the statutes it is specified: "Its practitioners are said:" of the Persecuted ", that is to say" persecuted by the Cynic injustice of the earth ".
In the Book of Laws: "God, the author of colors, has no fixed color. It manifests itself in all colors. It turns out White, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Red and Black. The eternal Race of Almighty God is the whole of Innocents.

The Book of Laws is built on this same form of inculturation of the word of God on African soil. In this he flirts with afrocentrist rhetoric when Bouabré speaks of a black Jesus, or the Bété knew the sign of the cross before the arrival of the missionaries.
"He was black. Missionary of God. He showed men the way of salvation. From this, he was called Jesus. Accompanied by his elder brother. He is heading north-east of his country. There He found a Race difficult to convert. To convince this race by the power He held of God. He became a white man in the presence of a large crowd. This act was fatal to him; because He did not have to do it in public. Having thus lost the origin of his Color He died as a slave to his passion after having been denied by his Race.
Know, therefore, that the Envoys of God have two enemies: the unbelief of Men and the Imprudence to which the human body is subject, under which these envoys must accomplish their grave mission.

The gopô among the Bété is a test of truth. It makes it possible to designate the culprit of an act, if the need arises. During the funeral of a member of the community, he designates those responsible for his death. These people to be innocent can ask to undergo the test of gopô. This consists of putting drops of this product (the sap of these leaves) in the eyes. If one is guilty, the eye swells and turns red. Otherwise the eye has no damage. An allusion in Solicitation suggests that it was banned by the government.
Undoubtedly encouraged by this decision, he refers to the dance of the dead as a new "disturbing factor of social order and national peace". In Bete the dance of the dead is translated by bgabge. This term literally refers to what makes the dance of the dead: two forks supported together by woods to support a shroud. One or two people animate them and make them "talk", so they designate the person responsible for the death. The latter must offer financial or material compensation to the family of the deceased for compensation. This ceremony is called saka at the Baoulé. A substitute for the corpse is also staged at the end of a pole. To the questions that the assembly asks him during the burial the carriers the bottom go to the right or to the left to express his answer. Sometimes the deceased may also speak to clearly explain the circumstances of his death.
The word "enemy" for me refers to the jealousy that arises from the wealth or ease of the other. As the other is socially well in the village, it must be ruined. A confidence: the Bété people in their great majority do not yet believe in natural death, even AIDS, they believe it is utopian. The institution (the embittered, the jealous, the liars) of which Bouabré speaks is the one that undermines reality to reach the other, taken as an enemy ”.
But Bruly does not choose this target only because it is quackery and manipulation. Its principle states a blasphemy, it ridicules the divine power. Therefore, it is inspired by a "satanic spirit" that must be eradicated.
The gôpô and the dance of the dead are evils touching the Bété, the ethnic group of Bouabré, but all the argumentation of the text, as it should be with such an interlocutor, is turned towards the salvation of the country.
It is certain that Bouabré occupies a distinct position in the Ivorian prophetic landscape. The case of Papa Nouveau, prophet and companion of Houphouet-Boigny is exemplary. Through an action that also involves the creation of schools and dispensaries, he continued his mission for sixty-four years to the point of claiming to have played a determining role in the country's independence. In Bouabre the denunciations of the gôpô and the bgabgê tend to replace the fights against the fetishes. This willingness to put oneself at the service of the country is all the more emphasized because it seeks the authority of the governing body through the sub-prefect, to convince a third party who is at the same time an official legitimation and a recognition of its cause.
If the initial subject of the letter is to discredit the "dance of the dead," he quickly directs his diatribe on an essential figure of the prophetic discourse, the false prophet. He is the one who both threatens the credibility of the prophet and strengthens it. The stature of the prophet is taken between autosuggestion and the trials constantly repeated to ensure his divine election. Any prophet may be suspicious in the eyes of another of sham and become subject to discreditation.
In his text, the false prophet takes the features of a "proud and wicked" character who humiliates men in public by designating them as wizards. It becomes dangerous for the community to live together by the establishment of a persecutory / persecuted type of relationship. It destroys objects, potential "christophanies". By their arrogance, his actions parody those of God.
"Do not suspect anyone of witchcraft. Act of amusement aside, accuse someone of a sorcerer, it is to put him against all humanity, it is to destroy his means of success for the terrestrial happiness, it is to break his intimate relations, it is to make it solitary is to render it doubtful, to render it sadly frightening; in short, it destroys the principle of his life. These ways of doing things give a lot of enemies. Also, if your suspicions are false before God, your defendants will receive the help of this Most-All-Powerful.

18 "Do not destroy the Cults of your neighbors; otherwise your neighbors will destroy yours with the feeling of revenge. The destruction of cults by the pure cruel will of men leads to the disaster of humanity, the disaster which is nothing but the loss of paradise by human ignorance, in the sense that in this destruction, it is the The most holy cults, the very ones that were to constitute
the defeat of the cultural area.
The false prophet will be the one who distorts the will of God or instrumentalizes it for his own ends. The prophet is the one who comes to guarantee concord, attentive to the drifts of the Ivorian society, conciliator, mediator, in a role of sentinel and guarantor of the word of God.
Extract from the book divine laws in the order of the persecuted
The Celestial Manifesto
God's manifesto is a Vision, a Reality of which I am the only eyewitness. It took place in the air on Thursday, the 11 1948 7 8 hours at 7 in the morning. At the moment, I was in Dakar and I was going to work. When, halfway, I took my view of the sun which was pale white to consult on the working time. As the weather was foggy, the pale solar disk did not hurt the view and was easy to study. And, my first vision is a black line that horizontally sectioned our ordinary sun. The lower part of the sun was whiter than the upper part. She was the one who progressed on the whole solar face. My second vision is this white sun which turned into a blue sun. My fourth vision is this blue sun which turned into a green sun. My fifth vision is that green sun that turned into violet sun. My sixth vision is that purple sun that turned into a yellow sun. My seventh vision is that yellow sun turning into a red sun. My eighth vision is that red sun that turned into a black sun. My ninth vision is that black sun, which then turned into our ordinary sun, which I call father. My tenth vision, which is the most extraordinary, is the "release of these 6 colored Suns" from our usual sun, which they surrounded to form together a magnificent painting in a whitish sky. My eleventh vision - no less - is an explosion of the Yellow Sun which, being the first to come out, arrived, in their race around the ordinary sun, first on the line of exit which favored this explosion. In the Yellow Cloud, which came out of the sun, exploded and covered the whole Orient. The 8 other colored suns will mysteriously annihilate starting from the sun Violet to the red Sun. Our usual sun, which survives this Great Miracle, remained for a moment yellow at my sight alone; that morning, arriving at work at 20 hours minus 7, so I was late. Because normally, I had to get to 30 XNUMX hours.
All my doctrine is entirely based on the reality of this vision that has authentically demonstrated the existence of God and supernatural life. Like Jesus Christ, today I will calmly give my life to the atheist who will ask for it and with as much joy as Mohamed experienced before his Vision. I know that from now on, I have the right to say like everyone else:
" Glory to God ! "

The proclamation
E) every envoy of God will experience Death, Transfiguration, Resurrection. He will show men the Way of Salvation. He will make known these unknown things: "Death is conquered." Life is eternal. Good is chosen. Evil is damned. Vengeance is decreed. The charges will be pronounced. Congratulations will be heard. Everyone will make themselves known to justify themselves. We will judge in favor of the Truth. Woe to the Wicked, to the Liar, to the Unjust, to the Ungrateful, to the Atheist, to Satan and to all those who do his works. The end of the World is proclaimed; it's the age of prayer. The general Resurrection is promised. The Judgment will take place in the transfiguration where the Happy will take the Color of Ivory, the less Happy will take Mulatto, and the Eternal damned will take the Color of dusty Coal to live in true Misery. To remain always in the path of Good is the only Salvation of all the human Races. No sin is forgiven after death. The chance of Redemption, the Chance of Forgiveness only comes in the course of Life. The judgment from beyond the grave is terrible. Its sign is the Transfiguration in which the Elect will become "white as ivory", while the Guilty will become "black of Coal". How happy He is to be Guilty and to witness the Resurrection of the Dead who come to avenge: A Martyr Envoy of God! Who knows the Great Secret of This life, here, there is nothing that is not sacred by nature or by right”.
This proclamation is an eternal Truth. May he believe in it and seek his salvation, which wills.
