In September, light rain fell in the skies of northwestern East Africa.

Bukoba, a small fishing village on the western shore of the Great Lake (Lake Victoria), was a small village under the rule of the Kingdom of Karavi.

The microwave rippling water gently laps the wet soil on the shore, and the drizzle falls on the lake without stirring up a wave.

In the early morning, the sun had not risen, and the glow was still reflected in the sky west of the village of Bukoba through the horizon.

The hazy mist, mixed with the drizzle, a cold wind blowing, the cold and wet cold, and the dzzy sky made the village of Bukoba look a little miserable.

Bukoba is a village with a primitive architectural structure, and when you walk into the village, you can see a fence made of rattan and mud, covered with moss, which looks low and mottled by wind and rain.

The fence is surrounded by a one-meter-high semicircular frame with vines and branches, and leaves from plantain leaves and other plants are laid to protect them from wind and rain.

In the center of the village is an altar surrounded by stones of various sizes, which is a place where villagers gather for events.

At the back of the altar is the dwelling of the chiefs and elders, which is nothing special except that it is higher than the houses of the villagers, and the whole village is probably like this.

As a village of 100 people, Bukoba is mainly dependent on fishing for its livelihood and relies on the abundant fishing resources of the Great Lake (Lake Victoria).

The Bukoba people cut down trees from the shore, mostly large trees, and used axes to hollow out the trunks and make canoes two or three meters long.

The Bukoba people are very good at the water, and they work together to catch local freshwater fish from the large lakes in homemade canoes and rudimentary nets made of hemp.

By fishing, the Bukoba people lived a decent life, and the surplus fish could be traded with the surrounding tribes in exchange for clay pots and salt and other daily necessities.

……

In the past, Bukoba was a very lively village, full of fireworks, men went out fishing, women did housework at home, and important festivals were waiting.

The chiefs and elders also organize rituals, and everyone gathers around the campfire, singing and dancing, and the people of Bukoba live a full and transparent life.

This is also the norm in some tribes and villages in African countries in later generations, and life is nothing more than eating and drinking every day, without worries.

Except, of course, in some special cases, such as war.

West Africa is the most serious state and tribal conflict in Africa, where after centuries of slave trade, they are eager to capture and execute all rival tribes.

Western colonizers, with only a small amount of supplies, can stir up contradictions between many tribes in West Africa, and the reason for a war may be that a certain tribal chief wants to get the glass balls brought by the Western colonizers.

This kind of asymmetrical trade and exchange is carried out by taking advantage of the low level of productivity, lack of knowledge, and even the superstitious psychology of backward areas.

There were also people in East Africa who did this, that is, merchants from Zanzibar and the Arab region, and when the East African colonies were established, this method was disdained.

There is no need to focus on a simple and rude way to play with ignorant natives by deceiving children, after all, East Africa is not as densely populated as West Africa, and to deal with the aborigines of the East African steppe, the colonial government of East Africa can go into battle by itself.

As a result, a large number of indigenous people from the East African grasslands were driven to the northwest region, and although East Africa is vast and sparsely populated, the number of indigenous people living on nearly one million lands is still considerable.

If the resources of this region were to feed five more people, five more would have to disappear and the remaining five would survive.

Therefore, the practice of the colonial government in East Africa is somewhat similar to that of covering up and stealing bells, and it is clear that the two sides want to fight.

And the village of Bukoba is such a place that was plagued by the East African colonies.

The influx of Eastern Bantu people slowly spread to the location of the village of Bukoba, answering the call of the kingdom and at the same time defending their homeland.

The people of Bukoba fought fiercely against the invaders, and together with the nearby villages of the Kingdom of Karawi, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, the Bukoba people and the Eastern Bantu people engaged in guerrilla warfare.

The Eastern Bantu people were hastily expelled to the northwest by the East African colonies, so it was naturally impossible for them to carry food with them, and at the same time, as a people who lived by hunting, they did not have the habit of hoarding food.

On the way into the Calaway Kingdom, he relied on killing, burning, looting, and spending his days, and as for settling down, he had to agree to the Calaway Kingdom.

In particular, the Karavi nobles who were the first to suffer in the south were even more eager to eat the flesh of the Eastern Bantu.

There are irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, and it is natural to fight, and it must be the kind of life and death.

And the war naturally became more fought, the deeper the hatred, and the larger the scale, which is why the tragic situation in the northwest countries was caused.

The village of Bukoba survived the onslaught of the first wave of the Eastern Bantu tribes, but the Eastern Bantu people continued to pour from the East African colonies into the entire northwest.

In this way, the village of Bukoba was annihilated by the repeated baptism of war, and the current village of Bukoba is only an empty shell.

The Eastern Bantu tribes did not choose to stay, after all, they were not a tribe that lived near the Great Lake and depended on fishing and hunting for their livelihood.

Without relative skills, naturally they cannot survive by fishing and hunting like Bukoba Village, so the Dongbantu people can only continue to go north.

Today, the Eastern Bantu people are not faced with one or two enemies, but with a united army of the northwestern states.

Therefore, the war was far from over, and the vanguard had already spread to areas such as the Buganda Kingdom and the Turou Kingdom.

The level of productivity of the northwestern countries is low, and they naturally do not have the ability to build a certain number of cities and fortifications, so the eastern Bantu tribes can pass through the territory of the country in the south and directly threaten the countries in the north.

In the village of Bukoba, after the departure of the Eastern Bantu people, only the corpses of the villagers of Bukoba were left behind, and no one cared about them in the wilderness.

All kinds of scavengers, happily enjoying the feast, Bukoba village lost its former vitality and vitality, and became an uninhabited village.

Gradually, nature is corroding little by little, and most of these buildings built with plants, vines and earth will not be preserved in the future.

No one can remember the suffering that took place here, and that such a war was inconspicuous in the north-west of East Africa, and no one recorded it, and even the last evidence was destroyed by nature.

The culprit of this suffering is the East African colonial government, the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, regardless of whether the East African colonies are directly involved in this war or not, they are all the culprits of this war.

On the contrary, as both sides of the war, the northwestern countries and the eastern Bantu tribes were all victims, fighting to the death, no matter who would win in the end, the final winner was the East African colonies.

The war is only a microcosm of the northwestern part of East Africa, affected by the war, the famine caused by the abandonment of the land, the fighting between the two sides, the plague caused by the corpses, and the water contaminated by the corpses, all exacerbating the demise of the population of the northwest.

Only the northern part of the country such as the Buganda Kingdom and the Turou Kingdom has not been greatly affected for the time being, and life can barely go on.

And the entire northwestern countries, more than 100,000 square kilometers of land, the south has completely turned into a battlefield, and the north is also threatened by war.

The whole Northwest was in a state of mourning, but no one in the world knew the pain he had endured, only the East African colonizers were eyeing the land with greed.
