TRIBALISM IT'S ALWAYS WORTH REMEMBERING
We are
witnessing a new wave of reversion to Tribalism around the Country of Sierra
Leone. The same pattern can be seen even in the western World, especially the US
polities. But let’s take a step back, between the 18th and 20th
centuries, before the rise of Nation-States; the world was most tribal, and
Tribes were united by Language Religion, Blood and Belief.
The past 250 to 300 years the belief of
Nationhood took basic root around the world and members of the tribes stated to
viewing themselves as single people with patriotic sentiment and duties towards
their Homeland. This is true, even though from time to time, most people
wondered what it must be like to live in a truly tribal society, but yet let us
don’t go back to those parts of controversial issues of tribalism. For example
as NYMAG.com mention online “the same has happened in a developed Democratic
Society Northern Ireland and in one of the most successful Countries in Africa
Kenya. Tribal Loyalties turned Beirut, Lebanon’s beautiful cosmopolitan
Capital, turn into an urban wasteland in the 1970s. They caused close to a million deaths in a
few months in Rwanda in the 1990s” turn to Ethnic Cleansing. How on earth the
two political parties is moving to such abominable idea. To all Sierra Leonean
abroad and in the country get curious about how, the collective mind of bad
connotation of Tribal war can become diminished if re-examine the past and
change our attitude
