THE LITTLE DEMON YOU MADE

Savage Camp

Their camp is massive, everything is in aboundance, foods, drinks, hard drugs and women. And It's where they held High Chief Bath, his son and many others captive.
The fighters were armed by the government to kill, destroy and dislodge my people.

They operated from the camp and returns afterwards. They were called guerilla fighters but they are far from it; they were being financed and supported by our government and other external bodies from around the world to annihilate my tribe.

If they were guerilla fighters like my government claimed, why are they not fighting the government? And instead; they were fighting us- a defenceless and none violent community like mine. And yet our government protected them and give them aid.

What was our crime? our crime was that our ancestors signed a pact with our current country in the past to form a confederation because they felt that our tribe was very little in number and could not survive any external invasions on their own.

How would my ancestors have known that the agreement to protect us would turn back and destroy us in the future.

The agreement was documented in black and white; expressing that we have an absolute rights to our lands and the deposits beneath it, emphatically stressing that on no condition should our land and it's deposits be exploited without our full support.

The agreement also stated that our little tribe pays tax in place for the protection they give to us. And we have never faulted the heavy tax imposed on us based on the pact.

We were few in population but our land is massive. Our great grand-fathers were aggrerieans and our fathers inherited the farming culture from them.

And that is why; there is no family in my tribe that did not inherit farm lands, plantations or forests where woods are being processed. Our forefathers aggreriean livelihood benefited us so much and we reaped massively from it.

And that's why it's very hard for us to trust anybody or group of people with our land. Our land is our wealth; agriculture is the means; and we have no plans of giving up on it- no matter what the circumstances is.

Few decades ago, mineral exploration was conducted on our land and the result has it that we have some global highly demanded mineral resources underneath our soil.

The deposits that was more in quantity were blue-gold, Uranium and petroleum. Other resources were of lower demand or were of a little quantity.

Our government started putting eyes on our land because of the deposits. Forgetting the old pact they made with our ancestors that none of our territory should be tampered.

They came with full force to take control of our land so that they will exploit the deposits underground, having learnt it's economic values.

And we on the other had resisted the idea of mining and oil drilling because; we were scared of losing our clean aggreriean society. And we wouldn't want our land and ecosystem be destroyed by greedy politicians with oil spillage.

My people are workaholics; they believe more in working on their farms and earning a living from it than engaging in the new ideas of larger world technological advancement that is destroying the ecosystem.

We were simply lovers of nature, our father's were well educated on the issues of ozone depletion, global warming and the greenhouse effects and they impacted the knowledge on us from birth.

I might be a little boy, but my father has taught me more than enough about our land before he died; the ecosystem and the powers that are in control of the countries of the world.

My people would have loved to contemplate on taking the steps of mining and drilling our underground deposits, but; they were scared of the government we were in agreement with, because; they were so corrupt.

And would not do the mining and the drilling the right way so that our ecosystem will not be destroyed.

Having known that there's nothing they would do to take our land from hence the agreement is their.

They plotted crises and amongst tribes and funded one tribe against the other to be destroyed.

And we happened to be at the receiving end, the repulsive tribe to be destroyed at all cost. We were unstoppable and the only way they could take our land was to kill us all.

The very words of my father manifested itself before my eyes and I and my little sister became fugitive.
Wandering in the forest like wild
Animals.

The one I called the ruthless killer is the commander of the killer machine our government projected against my people.

His name is Zander from etheim tribe and we are of Asantha blood-line, the greatest farmer. Zander was the one behind all the killings and the destruction done to my people.

In his camp he is still pressurising High Chief Bath to disclose our Kings way about but to no avail.
