That stick fighting is lethal. Great documentary, but can we respect their culture and not call the samurai and call the warriors by their cultural name.
I think the documentarian is trying to use words that people in a first world might be able to associate with what they’re seeing. I saw the word “samurai,” and understood that I was about to watch a show about warriors with a certain level of skill. And these warriors MUST be scary with that stick, because a samurai is no minor comparison. See how that works? I haven’t come to the witch doctor part yet, but maybe they could have called him a shaman instead. Or priest. People would’ve understood either way
There’s nuance here. Sometimes to help people understand what they’re about to see and how deep it is, you have to compare it to something more well-known.
@@spiralrose Yes but that is unhealthy as it gives a false view of the culture which is misrepresenting this beautiful culture which has been cultivated on its own for thousands of years. To be a samurai is much different than just gathering for melee fights or being a warrior, it's a way of life and also a social class within Japan. They worked decent jobs as painters, crafters, and construction/engineering are just a few examples. The warriors in this culture don't do much in the way of work instead saving all their energy for war. Also, Samurai follow the ways of bushido which is to follow your master and avenge them if they were killed creating a very unique hyper loyal society/culture. This culture is different from that and they shouldn't misrepresent a culture by using other people's cultures instead encourage people to learn the names of these warriors and their ways.
This was such a good introduction to cultural differences in history keeping, rites of passage, wealth measurement, beauty, and celebration.

What a wholesome, beautiful people. The heavenly Creator really knew what he was doing when he created mankind in his image. Even the elders have smooth, wrinkle free, supple, highly melanated skin, absolutely beautiful. The sooner so called black people realise that melanin is a gift and a blessing from the Creator, the better things will be. I don’t call this primitive living, to me it’s living as one with the earth and your Creator. Their only possessions are their cattle. When I look around my London home and realise all the baggage and vanity I’ve collected over the years.

Very interesting !!! A warrior is still called “Surma” in Punjab region if Indo-Pak region. Also, the fighting stick (Doonga) they use is called “Daanga” or “Daang” in Punjabi language.
The song that he was singing at time mark 14:45 the words being translated into English is not what he was saying at all it's just another way that these shows try to make things out to be more entertaining and dramatic my aunt is actually bilingual in a half dozen languages she born and raised in Africa she can speak and understand this language very well and we had just watched this she literally couldn't watch anymore because she was upset by what the translations supposedly said.. the song is actually about two men of different parts of the world being lost and finding comfort in each other when they haven't seen their families and forget what the real world is about from the time that they spent together lost
Fell asleep and youtube auto-played the next video. Several videos later woke up and found this. I'm currently reading Moon Witch, Spider King and the donga plays a significant part of the story. It's wonderful to see it in action. Also i'm quite certain the Surma are a major inspiration in this book and Black Leopard, Red Wolf. Both by Marlon James.
I'm from Southern Africa and our cultures and tradional ways are pretty much still the same as theirs... We still have warriors and stick fighting means everything to us it is done in weddings and other uncestoral rituals. 🖤We are the same.

Sorry for the ERROR.. Not 390,000 ..years but 195, 000 thousand years ago. Thank you FULL DOCUMENTARY. Thank you in sharing . Very nice documentary.. The Black Samurai.
I absolutely love this channel and the world-class videos. Having said that, the producer or editor knows nothing about the Samurai to make an analogy like that. There's is literally nothing in this entire video that resembles the Samurai - from weapons, techniques, startegy, tactics, clothing/armor, Bushido code, influence, ethos, psychology, culture, social mores, etc. It's best to simply not make the analogy and let the Burnis and Surma represent themselves as they are. There's enough in them to admire, have great respect for, appreciation, and awe without the analogy.
@@goldbluetears ausgepicht presented some very valid points, and in no way in a manner that would merit being told to calm down. Given that, your response was quite honesly rather strange.
How do you feel about that? Serious question. I've been having an enternal battle with myself on it. Part of me thinks its great we get to see it. How would we know they are there? How do we protect their lands and their ways to ensure they thrive? These tribes are closest to early human and how they lived and communicated so its fascinating to see and learn and imagine what life would have been like for humankind and where we came from. Its like the one visual we have of human ancestors. After all...Earth is Mother and Africa is the womb. But then that other part of me is like...do we really need to be introducing seemingly happy people to new technology? I saw another tribe in the Amazon who had no desire to give up their ways. Then the gov came in and gave them luxuries including a TV. It was borderline heartbreaking to see at the end of the doc this group of people gathered staring at the TV instead of what they were doing in the beginning of the doc...jumping in the river, hunting...little small every day hunter-gather tribal unit things. I feel like its all rock and a hard place to learn but also still be respectful and not use them for monetary gain and then not use that money to invest back. So I judge each creators differently- Who are they? What are their other videos? Is there flashy items on their insta? This channel seems "safe" to me. It has 1 million subs. Theres no glitz or HEY GUYS WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL AND TODAY WE GONNA SKIN A GOAT!- *NOT CLICKBAIT* I dont know.

So weird how similar the beginning of their origin story is to ours in Botswana even though we are kinda far apart😂In our story though it was just one man and his animals that came down, and bc the Earth was still wet his foot left the first footprint amongst man, I forget where the site is specifically in Bots but yeah I just find it cool we told the same story separately
Give these people a soccer ball and show them that a REAL man shows his strength by scoring a goal, not murdering his brother with sticks and guns. They would love it and begin to love a peaceful life with other clans. The murdering each other to show their "tough" is ignorant and barbaric. Culture is one thing but killing people for no good reason is just stupid.

Thank you for being the only intelligent comment here. I agree, there's a story on both sides and it makes one curious to know the history and details of both.
The stick fighting bears a definite similarity in style to Samurai moves so I don't understand how people cannot see the parallel here in the poetry of the title of this documentary and not literal fact.
My homies are roaming across Africa with long spears , AK-47s, engage in epic wooden stick battles, and can marry up to 7 wives. Living the time of their lives 💪🏼
The presence of Ak-47s in the realm of these people, identifies the reality of their perpetual warring. Arms dealers see them as a profitable opportunity, without care for their contunued survival. Silence the guns. Otherwise, these people will lose their ways through loss of lives from violence imported from outsiders. We already know WHO
brilliant look in to culture, loved it !! but the cow slap at 5:26 OMG!!!! i spit coffee ! then laughed for too long lol it made even funnier do to the cow showing no effect at all lmao cow was like ok no sniffing the spear 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this. Have you considered going to northern Kenya, the turkana tribe share the same culture , appearances and lifestyle. There look very similar. They have wars amongst themselves , are herders and deep rooted in their culture. Actually there is no difference at all from the omo, surma, burmis and turkanas of Kenya.
African throbbing blood and spirit. From South Africa but I know and experience them right where I am. I know them because I am of them - they are my people sweet and simple
Why are you guys going on about how their culture is so awesome? Their culture is fighting their neighbors all the time and leaving their ladies to do all the work. They are starving some days because of this. If they decided to work together, and quit with the fighting their neighbors, they would prosper. That's really why you don't want them to change, as long as they keep disconnected, other peoples can step in and take what they want.
because they are awesome. not cowards. however yes being divided allows for exploitation by those who are united and expanding territory via technology & theology. its a lose-lose situation. to change or not to change is a hard decision best left up to the Surma elders yea.
É bonito ver como um zela pelo outro ajudando-os a embelezarem-se, como são carinhosos e trabalham com tanta ternura e sem estresse o que retiram da floresta, sem danificá-las ou destrui-las.
Soon as I saw the flag they carried to represent where they’re from I can see why it’s called “black samarai”and wow there fight scene are intense if they fighting become more barbaricly or believe more in death steel swords would probably be adapted. Fight for land keep them from becoming stronger it’s all a distraction to conquer for African it’s been happening since ages, a sad cycle it cycles it is

Thank you for that precious piece of information. Big up Trinidad!
Exists in Grenada as well, albeit only during drumming festivals.

One of my favorite documentary i have ever watched cajiib
Many people don't know what AFRICA is,rich in every aspect of life, much love for my fellow black original people 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️🇰🇪
Ohh they got sticks these people never evolve they never increase in technology or ways of doing things they been doin the same thing for thousands of years People are supposed to learn and evolve into somthing greater science medicine weapons technology for protection
African governments continue to fail Africans.
Their governments could designate protected lands to these tribes to preserve our heritage. It's so sad that LIVING history, selfless humans and human ancestry are at risk of extinction because of greed and power fuelled conflict.
I hope I can see in this lifetime a positive, uncorrupted, legitimate, visionary across Africa. Modern humans are destruction.
An absolutely fascinating documentary.
Sending peace and hope to these brothers and sisters. Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
,
These people are hardy like stones,it's not a joke walking there barefoot.There people die during raids but not diseases.Am proud to be African from Kenya the land of runners🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪JAH RAS-TAFARI bless👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Considering how far our society have come. These people still decide to keep their traditions. Pure happiness at its finest
If they end up mixing with us, they'd probably die sooner cuz of our respective immunity differences and food and lifestyle we have.
"How far our society has come"???🤔🤔🤣
@@gailjones7044 LMFAO! I didn't see pure happiness, I see guns, women doing all the work, and no water.
@@kitl7293 Well said. My father was from Nigeria and my mother is Spanish, so I am mixed. I know what the village is in both countries and let me tell you I chose Spain when I was 18...cos I was born here and brought up in England. Many people are praising this way of life without really seeing the dead end these guys are in. Sorry but to adapt is to survive. Soon they will have to choose academic education over their ways....learn how to dominate the surroundings and cut the BS with the prayers and the medium...let the women learn on equal terms and stop them from disfiguring their faces and earn more cows in marriage for the father to boast and own, WTF! Happiness? No bloody such thing. Sooo many here sitting behind a screen, burgers in the fridge, mobile ringing and washing machine going, all fascinated by the wildlife on the screen....WTF!!
@@dng267 Good post bro
Utterly fascinating.
My God, how they live.
Thank you #Slice
They are living alright. Every body doesn't have to live you.
Adlmiring this beautiful brave people
@@khadejardimson9115 Who said they did?
Very interesting !!! A warrior is still called “Surma” in Punjab region if Indo-Pak region. Also, the fighting stick (Doonga) they use is called “Daanga” or “Daang” in Punjabi language.
Could be your ancestors
Maybe they are our people just maybe
We all come from Africa.
The song that he was singing at time mark 14:45 the words being translated into English is not what he was saying at all it's just another way that these shows try to make things out to be more entertaining and dramatic my aunt is actually bilingual in a half dozen languages she born and raised in Africa she can speak and understand this language very well and we had just watched this she literally couldn't watch anymore because she was upset by what the translations supposedly said.. the song is actually about two men of different parts of the world being lost and finding comfort in each other when they haven't seen their families and forget what the real world is about from the time that they spent together lost
Not sure if you’re reloading videos or I subconsciously watched them all already because I love this channel so much.
😅 same...
Ditto...
Me too 😁
lol my first thought is this a dejavu? they re-uploading for sure
Magnificent balance & natural majestic beauty.
Fell asleep and youtube auto-played the next video. Several videos later woke up and found this. I'm currently reading Moon Witch, Spider King and the donga plays a significant part of the story. It's wonderful to see it in action. Also i'm quite certain the Surma are a major inspiration in this book and Black Leopard, Red Wolf. Both by Marlon James.
Truly appreciated this documentary with great satisfaction
I'm from Southern Africa and our cultures and tradional ways are pretty much still the same as theirs... We still have warriors and stick fighting means everything to us it is done in weddings and other uncestoral rituals.
🖤We are the same.
We still cut our skin, our faces, our ears , but we don't cut our bottom lip.
i have yet to be disappointed with slice. exquisite documentaries!!
Now this is actual culture! ✊🏿
Outstanding People!! First warriors and Monotheistic belief in one God. Definitely men that live by a Code. Black Samurais before there was even a concept of any Chilvary , Bushido , Knighthood , Sufism , or Shaolin
May they continue on for thousands more years. New respect for this unique, badass culture.
It's the " New normal " nobody escapes what world leaders have planned. Everything will change drastically in the next few years
5:20 "Oh, my father, the cattle, give us your milk."
Dude proceeds to slap the crap out of the cattle 🤨🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
Samantha I see you have an eye for detail, that slap was however to change my father into my mother, the cattle give us our milk.
You love our dark skin don't ya!? Lol
Slapping is an act of love ❤️
😂😂😂😂
I have seen that lol😁
The woman's did scarfs in wounds omg can't see it with my eyes...they are the real samurai fighter for their lands .such an amazing documentary 🙏.
Their story of creation is very similar. Big loved for this warriors
Lol yeah. And a woman fucks it all up just like another creation story I’ve heard of 😂😂😂😂
Their skin tone is so fine! 😊
it must be the darkest of any other culture
Jewelry is best displayed on black velvet.

Wonderful video of a harsh warrior existence, genuine and thoughtful. Great work.

This is a mess not Amazing if it’s so amazing go join them
@@israeldiaspora8532 you're a dumb one. just because you live in a city doesn't make your life better than them. they choose to preserve culture despite being in close proximity to civilization & that's amazing
@@DotiVirtuoso lmao who said who was better then who and I don’t have to like their culture. Just like you don’t like certain stuff about other cultures also so shut up with the bs trying to stunt and act so holy lol their culture is 🤮🤮🤦🏿♂️
I too am proud and honoured to be a descendant of these original people of the earth. Not many of the 7 billion inhabitants of this earth can claim this. Amazing and touching.
And where did the rest of us come from, please? Planet Mars?
What you came from is largely a matter of accident and happenstance. You had no say in it whatever. Nothing to be proud of
Strangely enough, in Northern India, "SURMA" means a "valiant warrior"; wonder what's the origin of the term? Great documentary.

'Surma' In Kurdish is type of traditional clothes
You all came from Africa. There are lots of words that link us all.

Those people didnt come from Africa
Sorry for the ERROR..
Not 390,000 ..years but 195, 000 thousand years ago.
Thank you FULL DOCUMENTARY.
Thank you in sharing . Very nice documentary.. The Black Samurai.
I absolutely love this channel and the world-class videos. Having said that, the producer or editor knows nothing about the Samurai to make an analogy like that. There's is literally nothing in this entire video that resembles the Samurai - from weapons, techniques, startegy, tactics, clothing/armor, Bushido code, influence, ethos, psychology, culture, social mores, etc.
It's best to simply not make the analogy and let the Burnis and Surma represent themselves as they are. There's enough in them to admire, have great respect for, appreciation, and awe without the analogy.
God. Bless this. People.
why isnt this at 1k likes lmao... it was my immediate reaction as well.
its just a catchy title, calm down!
@@goldbluetears ausgepicht presented some very valid points, and in no way in a manner that would merit being told to calm down. Given that, your response was quite honesly rather strange.
@@carolesanchez9313 the title also brought me here
this is a wild, wild documentary. it's incredible.
That was amazing I’m so glad I watched it
2022 no depression we used to call them primitive but now they are the true natures of how society must try and emulate before it goes mad
This culture has made many rich through documentaries.
How do you feel about that? Serious question. I've been having an enternal battle with myself on it. Part of me thinks its great we get to see it. How would we know they are there? How do we protect their lands and their ways to ensure they thrive? These tribes are closest to early human and how they lived and communicated so its fascinating to see and learn and imagine what life would have been like for humankind and where we came from. Its like the one visual we have of human ancestors. After all...Earth is Mother and Africa is the womb. But then that other part of me is like...do we really need to be introducing seemingly happy people to new technology? I saw another tribe in the Amazon who had no desire to give up their ways. Then the gov came in and gave them luxuries including a TV. It was borderline heartbreaking to see at the end of the doc this group of people gathered staring at the TV instead of what they were doing in the beginning of the doc...jumping in the river, hunting...little small every day hunter-gather tribal unit things. I feel like its all rock and a hard place to learn but also still be respectful and not use them for monetary gain and then not use that money to invest back. So I judge each creators differently- Who are they? What are their other videos? Is there flashy items on their insta? This channel seems "safe" to me. It has 1 million subs. Theres no glitz or HEY GUYS WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL AND TODAY WE GONNA SKIN A GOAT!- *NOT CLICKBAIT* I dont know. Sorry for all the words but after a few months of digging into to these your question is something I have been struggling with. Its been two years since you wrote your comment but I would still really like to hear your thoughts currently
Now, I wonder where these ancient people get all these amount of high powered destructive weapons from? Guess who? It's insane how these people are set upon each other.
You right.
Sellers don't care thay will kill each other.Most important for those eavles making many.
@@pargevkarapetyan2251 08i
Who cares , the fact is the going to kill each other any way..
@@pargevkarapetyan2251 The going to use other weapons if they don’t have guns, Guns is not the problem. The problem is two tribes can’t live together. I bet you this been going on for centuries..
@@historyonthego Yes I know thay will fight and kill each other.Thay don't have Europeans civilization level solving problems around table. But one thing wen thay fight wooden weapons and completely different situation wen automatic weapons.
And sellers know whit automatic weapons will be killed much more than whit simpl hand made wepons ,but thay don't care about it.
Beautiful people and they have so much courage to live and eat natural on the land. This is their tradition and we all should respect it .
The stick fighting was intense can't imagine the pain they go through I'm here watching with a toothache almost crying
Don't underestimate toothaches, them mofos hurt like hell, they'll put even the toughest & hardest (wo)man on their knees!! So damn painful, you'd wish for someone to knock you out or rather have some other pain than a toothache aha. I was going kind of crazy and trying to figure out remedies until I could go to the dentist, it had me thinking of some crazy stupid shii, even considered banging my head or my jaw I should say on a hard surface to either knock me out or knock out my tooth smh. Even contemplated another injury that would make me forget about the toothache aha, shii was unbearable for real.
Actually ,tooth ache is more painful than stick fighting!!
@@biniyambeni9125 uhh no...did you not pay attention, people bones have broken, people had died from internal injury...that little ass Toothache not going to kill you...
😁😁😁
@@keurh475 yeahThe next week it was fix thank you for asking
It’s so sad that they can’t see they are being triangulated against one another by the same powers that supply them with enough guns and ammo to eradicate one another from these lands.
@Toodah Those are not my people.
The ethiopian gov is well aware of this but choose to ignore them
I think same with sudan gov
They once tried to stop the conflict but its between the tribes
Stop this rethoric! I am from Ethiopia people there identify by tribe. There is no brotherhood through skin color.. its called Tribal feud.
@@jennodine Damn, dude trying to lump you in with the devils lol.
this kind of lifestyle has been going on before anybody interfered, just the weapons changed
Beautiful! I love it. Sounds like a tale from an ancient legend.
Excellent documentary well done
Beautiful people and beautiful way of life. Epic story!
Greed is the enemy of mankind may GOD bless us all
This is so moving, and beautiful documentary
I am so proud of them for maintaining their way of life, against all odds. But to do this with no armor takes a lot of bravery.
No development at all in 195000 years. Be proud.
@@callelundberg6790 Was there a need to "develop"? Last I check progress went hand in hand with physical and mental illness, strife, destruction of the environment, and all sorts of evils. While you work for things you'll never keep for a company that laughs at your poverty, these people are living free. Be proud, wage slave.

Their songs and battle cries are so powerful.
This is humbling this bring tears to my eyes. We in so called modern society don't know what it is to live simple.
New orleans is rich In this culture we just don't practice as openly.
All in Africa Ethiopia is my favourite country. Becuse cows have also been very important part of us hindus. 😀😀😀. I wish someday I would travel there.
The only difference is they consume the cows for food.
@@levinav2297 ... They do not kill the cows but drink the blood.
This tribe are a small minority in Ethiopia, maybe 1% or less of the population. The vast majority of Ethiopians who are the Oromos, Amharas, Tigrayans, Somalis, etc eat beef. But it's still an interesting country with so much diversity in population and geography.
What a great documentary !
Survival of the Fittest. Adaptation to your surroundings is crucial for the existence of people. 😎
These people are like ancient and wise. The universe flows through them.
🖤 Africa is Great 🖤
Mercy mercy what beautiful people that I love
incredible ...amazing documentary ....thanks 💌
thank you for watching ! ;)
So weird how similar the beginning of their origin story is to ours in Botswana even though we are kinda far apart😂In our story though it was just one man and his animals that came down, and bc the Earth was still wet his foot left the first footprint amongst man, I forget where the site is specifically in Bots but yeah I just find it cool we told the same story separately
Wonderful people, they have given the world so much. The arts, science, technology.
What would we be without them.
Give these people a soccer ball and show them that a REAL man shows his strength by scoring a goal, not murdering his brother with sticks and guns. They would love it and begin to love a peaceful life with other clans. The murdering each other to show their "tough" is ignorant and barbaric. Culture is one thing but killing people for no good reason is just stupid.
"a REAL man shows his strength by scoring a goal". Yes... until another man comes along with a stick or a gun then... you know... Darwin kicks in.
Really why so many wars in the world .
Traditional fight with out blades, Nice sharing TNX
Every year conducting as a festival Stick fightings are running like these tribes in the state of Karnataka, India,
🤝as per the video they are all our Ancestors to the world, Help to them,
Give a brighter life, Honestly,

This Video was quite interesting. Wondering if the cattle ever located any water? A very Beautiful and Precious People and Land.
I am amazed by their muzzle discipline. I have not seen any celebratory gunfire.
they value their ammunition ...use for war only
They have trigger discipline too because of the multiple conflicts they get into
really like the narrator ..the way the speak ,fascinating
Ethiopia holds many Christian and traditions that are thousands of years old

We are looking at how people lived 60,000 + years ago minus guns..
That's what I was wondering this seams to be primitive.
@@MRSZ5440 nature bound - they live in a way that most of us in the West would not know how to live. We may perish if you plop us in the middle of that valley with nothing but cattle.
Back then they didn't raise cattle.
It would be interesting to hear about the feud from the other side.
Thank you for being the only intelligent comment here. I agree, there's a story on both sides and it makes one curious to know the history and details of both.
The stick fighting bears a definite similarity in style to Samurai moves so I don't understand how people cannot see the parallel here in the poetry of the title of this documentary and not literal fact.
These people have sticks and automatic weapons what a crazy combination.
My homies are roaming across Africa with long spears , AK-47s, engage in epic wooden stick battles, and can marry up to 7 wives. Living the time of their lives 💪🏼
I’m stuck in Uk without Asti k even.
"An that's the way Lue is"
The presence of Ak-47s in the realm of these people, identifies the reality of their perpetual warring. Arms dealers see them as a profitable opportunity, without care for their contunued survival. Silence the guns. Otherwise, these people will lose their ways through loss of lives from violence imported from outsiders. We already know WHO
LOL
Go join your homies. You can't even keep 1 wife happy but dreams of 7. Go smoke more ganja!!
brilliant look in to culture, loved it !! but the cow slap at 5:26 OMG!!!! i spit coffee ! then laughed for too long lol it made even funnier do to the cow showing no effect at all lmao cow was like ok no sniffing the spear 🤣🤣🤣
great now i cant stop watching it someone make a meme out of it
Amazing footage and theme... the soundtrack would be better with the music of the Surma.
Thanks ❤
Thanks for this. Have you considered going to northern Kenya, the turkana tribe share the same culture , appearances and lifestyle. There look very similar. They have wars amongst themselves , are herders and deep rooted in their culture. Actually there is no difference at all from the omo, surma, burmis and turkanas of Kenya.
merhaba slice arkadaşlar herkese iyi günler ve teşekkürler çok güzel video paylaşım için
African throbbing blood and spirit. From South Africa but I know and experience them right where I am. I know them because I am of them - they are my people sweet and simple
All black Africa we are one!they tried to divide us!love 💕 from Ethiopia
Ancient Egyptian stick fighting tradition is kept alive
Why are you guys going on about how their culture is so awesome? Their culture is fighting their neighbors all the time and leaving their ladies to do all the work. They are starving some days because of this. If they decided to work together, and quit with the fighting their neighbors, they would prosper. That's really why you don't want them to change, as long as they keep disconnected, other peoples can step in and take what they want.
because they are awesome. not cowards. however yes being divided allows for exploitation by those who are united and expanding territory via technology & theology. its a lose-lose situation. to change or not to change is a hard decision best left up to the Surma elders yea.
Origins sound like they came from an alien space ship.
Yeah they came from the sky
😂😂
that song at 15 minutes in... so good, would love to see it sampled in the next Michael Mann movie
É bonito ver como um zela pelo outro ajudando-os a embelezarem-se, como são carinhosos e trabalham com tanta ternura e sem estresse o que retiram da floresta, sem danificá-las ou destrui-las.

si bien bien. mirar a negro supermen. el original humano.
Soon as I saw the flag they carried to represent where they’re from I can see why it’s called “black samarai”and wow there fight scene are intense if they fighting become more barbaricly or believe more in death steel swords would probably be adapted. Fight for land keep them from becoming stronger it’s all a distraction to conquer for African it’s been happening since ages, a sad cycle it cycles it is
