In the mid 1960s Dinga area, the tension became as steam rising
and oozing from boiling water in a kettle, the Just amalgamated newborn in;
Dinga was like a baby learning how to walk, however, her case was as one with
too many instructors; I could say more than 1 parent dictating the pattern of
walk each deem as ideal for the young nation, eventually confusing the tender
one.
Ali Balrebe was 25 years old
son of a Cleric in Northern Dinga, He had just returned from Academic sojourn
in the United States of Alerica, after been schooled on Islamic rudiments from
the age of 8 years old in Daure town of Northern Dinga, His father: though a
staunch Islamic fundamentalist showed a little soft spot for western innovation
and ideals secretly allowed his beloved son a trip to the west for academic
enlightenment, a much-forbidden act by the Northern dinga society.
On course, Ali was a student of
Peace and conflict studies at the Howard University of Alerica. He gained
insight into the rudiments of peace and other important concepts for a better
society from his extensive study and research. He met Uche Yumbo (27) an
Eastern Dinga, and a civil engineering student of the same university at the
Black student association semester gathering. There they got to know of their
status as members of the newborn dinga area that was yet internally divisive
back in Africa. The president of the black society Demide (24) from Western
Dinga was a lively and culturally vibrant lad, who although studying in a white
man’s land, didn’t forsake his cultural apparels and values, as he consistently
adorned himself in his Agbada and ileke, proving himself as the Son of the Oba
of Maayo Land of Western Dinga, With the 3 of them now been renewed in the
philosophies of liberal living and notions of human dignity and rights.
Ali had developed strong brotherhood feeling for Uche and Demide in the Spirit
of Oneness: a thing of abomination at home, because the amalgamated land
was yet to gain it's standing of love and tolerance amongst the formation
groups. But has fate would have it these brothers from the 3 distinct
tribes and region met in no man’s land and quickly reconsidered on the basis of
an enlightened mind.
At the end of their
undergraduate academic sojourn overseas, Ali and Uche returned back to the
fatherland for Service and Business in the 1960s, While Demide remained for
further education.
All was at peace in the
Fatherland until one fateful day when power was said to have changed hands
through a Coup d'état from the Eastern and Western Dingas, that
affected the group which had been appointed caretaker (these are the Northern
Dingas) by the Foreign Taskmasters before they left for their
homeland. Aggrieved groups became sour bittered towards one another; it
was a free for all in all regions. In Northern Dinga where Ali Balrebe hailed
from, an ethnic cleansing exercise began against every Eastern and western
Dinga member resident in the Northern Sphere Vice-versa in Southern and
Eastern Dinga. In Northern Dinga Ali Balrebe’s father Sphere - headed the
mission to carry out a massive pogrom against the Eastern and Western Dingas
resident in the North, Ali was worried as he knew the great zeal His
father had for the Northern side and His wish for their continued
dominance in Government, Ali was drafted into the troop by His father, And
was given the task to totally erase the Eastern residents in the Daure area, with
His father trusting Him to that side of the task with supporters (Great number
of armed locals with the wrong idealism). He pondered on the method of
convincing the bloodthirsty troops behind Him, to tell them how they
were brothers with the Eastern and Westerners despite inherent differences in
culture and appearance. At a junction to the last one about entering the Daure ; residential area of the enterprising Easterners, Ali halted the men asked
for a minute to ease himself, and then He went down in prayers to Allah in the
bush. He came back to them shortly and sat down on the ground He ordered the
men to sit with him; they looked at themselves in utter amazement, others:
Humming and murmuring. Then he told them a story of peace, love, and tolerance,
reminding them of how beneficial the Eastern Dinga population had been to the
North in Economy and trade, and with GOD'S Help, many agreed with Him however
Hakeem a notorious fundamentalist, would not, as he grudgingly refused
all that Ali had said and explained in his inner mind. However, he didn't
show it, his plan was to break out from the troop and inform Ali’s father
of the Acclaimed Betrayal.
Later Ali led the men into the
Eastern Dinga group resident area, but Instead of a massacre, the members
were forgiven and told of the plan to exterminate them, and an
alternative route out of the Northern Dinga showed to them, that set of
Easterners were moved out back to their region. At this time Hakeem had already
broke out of the troop silently and gone all the way to the capital to break
the news of the betrayal, and he sure did. While Nuru his friend had
become loyal to Ali, he showed respect and honor to Ali because of his new
approach to life and living. He briefed Ali on the leaked betrayal
information, although Ali and his men were already in danger as their names and
pictures where announced and pasted across the capital for public execution for
the act of treason. Ali got to know this, and he immediately planned
a runaway mission along with his loyal associates, but the issue
was; all Northern members had become identified as enemies both in the
West and Eastern Dinga, because of the Massacre been initiated against
non-indigent members in the North. Ali’s Life will be in utter danger in either
West or East, and to compound issues, he had an indelible Northern
Dinga tribal mark on both cheeks along with many of his associates. What
Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
