Destruction of the Anyuak Kingdom
The instinct to destroy, to be in control, to exploit, derives from imperialism and supremacy. Destruction of the Anyuak kingdom ended 400 years of its independence. It brought suffering to the Anyuak people in East Africa. The British and Ethiopian empires ruined the kingdom by dividing it into two countries. Those invaders brought the powerful kingdom to ashes. While they are profiting from division and occupation, natives of the land are in pain. Evil empires will be brought to justice in the twenty-first century. Removing boundaries created by Anglo-Ethiopian is the key to achieving freedom. After 121 years of exploitation, Anyuaks demand sovereignty and independence.
