Pre-colonial Pre-African Holocaust Internecine Wars: Historical Antecedents Impacting Authentic Comfort and Care in Our Communities to Collectively Save-Our-Selves
Verda H. Olayinka
“Warfare in pre-colonial African societies was ubiquitous, most societies saw
war as a means of territorial expansion and a source of power, while some saw
it as a means of territorial defense from hostile neighbors. Warfare in pre-colonial
Africa was of both external and internal dimension, i.e. it could be between two
kingdoms or within a kingdom as a result of internal uprisings or disagreement
between the ruling elite or dynasties.” Chidi Chidume, PhD et al.
Post African Holocaust Descendants are unaware of the unresolved negative spiritual residue – from our ancestral lineages. Emotions play themselves out triggered by greed, hate, jealousy, deceit, fear, insecurity, revenge, etc. ooze/creep/ slip into everyday interactions perpetuating the internal dramas among and between Kemetic descendants. We end up really “not liking” each other – and don’t even know why…preventing authentic comfort and care within and between melanated Sons and Daughters of Kemet (Africa) and externally infecting our communities.
It is my contention that the wars between the dissipated Songhai kingdoms and internecine internal “blood” wars between and within tribal communities continue to negatively impact residual relationships between their descendants in the Americas.
Traditional and non-traditional practitioners pour libations in their honor and pray for ancestral guidance and protection. Everyday people are unknowingly destabilizing ancestral residual anger, unresolved carry overs from ancestral wartime past, overlooking deeper realities that we are standing on ancestral shoulders.
Solution: Pray for ancestral forgiveness in their dimension so there is harmony among Afro-descendants in this dimension. Redirect our energy into harmony and peace. Consciously, apply knowledge of ancestral influence, and focus our attention on cultivating the collective Ori (soul) for ourselves and throughout society. Merge those elements of precious micro caring among siblings into macro caring for individuals, families and communities. Macro community expanded caring builds trust, enhances the web of care, facilitates mutual aid, comfort, and encouragement assuring community sustenance throughout these tumultuous times…
