Liberation Tactics:.......................................................................1

From a Jamaican maroons perspective

The defending and protesting for basic human rights and liberation empowerment does not necessarily come in the form of rioting and throwing objects around. You can still ght for freedom and the liberation of Africa by simply standing up for what you believe in.

A tactic that should be incorporated in the pursuit for African liberty.

The maroons are the forerunners of Jamaican independence and the independence of spirit. And that is according to Harcourt Fuller, Georgia State University associate professor of history and a Maroon from Moore Town.

The Maroons say that they would rather die than live in bondage.

It's just a part of them; never to be bound, never to be subdued, always seeking justice , always striving to survive.

Indeed and In fact the aforementioned should be a borrowed tactic to every individual who seeks freedom.

You may be seen to be little but you are mighty.

Thus we must have that disposition just like the nation's of Jamaica that even though you appear little and small, you can be able to punch far above your weight in terms of influence.

It's with that same disposition that the Maroons get some credit for characteristics of ingenuity, fortitude , and mysticism , as shown by Jamaicans such as Bob Marley, Usain Bolt, Marcus Harvey and the 18th century Maroon strategist Nanny.

Nanny was leader of the windward maroons and held up as the most important figure in the Maroons history.

Nanny was the spiritual, cultural and military leader of the windward maroons and her importance stems from the fact that she guided the maroons through the most intense period of their resistance against the British between 1725 and 1740.

Born around 1680 in Africa's present day Ghana. She was reported to belong to either the Ashanti or Alan tribe and went to Jamaica as a free woman.

It's said that Nanny went to Jamaica with slaves of her own.

And that alone was unique because at that time few African dignitaries kept slaves of their own.

Nanny is said to have been married to a man named Adou, but had no children. She died in 1730s.

Slaves imported to Jamaica from Africa came from the Gold coast, the Congo and Madagascar.

The dominant group was referred to as Coro-

mantie or Koromantiee.

They were fierce and ferocious fighters with a preferènce for resistance , survival and above all freedom and refused to become slaves.

Between 1655 until the 1830s they led most of the slave rebellions in Jamaica.

Here and now comes a very important tactic from.the maroons that present day liberation struggle forerunners can apply inorder to attain victory.

Present day African liberation struggle forerunners should be able to be ferocious when is it that it comes to resisting bondage.

Being in bondage should never be in the mind of any African.

However the mind of Liberation struggle forerunners should be preoccupied with resistance, survival and above all else freedom.

According to history , the two most important tactics that led to the freedom of the maroons were the unfailing desire for freedom and the determination to attain freedom.

The memory of their African culture and identity instilled in them great confidence and and self esteem. Therefore, the resistance against slavery by the maroons was in defense of their culture and identity , their spiritual and political values and preservation of African civilization.

Consequently , present day African liberation struggle forerunners should fully grasp the essence of being African and then use that identity and the culture that accompanies it to affirm their confidence and self esteem in the face of every evil entity and political institution that threatens the freedom of African individuals.

Finally another tactic that is famed to Nanny in the pursuit for liberation and resistance against institutional elements of oppression was the art of camouflage.

Nanny would cover her soldiers with branches and leaves, instructing them to stand as still as possible so that they would resemble trees.

And at this present time the the adaptation of the aforementioned should be to always stand up for what is right in constructive responses rather that emotional reactions.

Strategically never allowing the oppressor to detect any sign of weakness in you while you try as much as possible to build your momentum on the oppressor’s purported / alledged strength.
