UK Court Evicts African "Tribe" Which Claims Ancestral Ownership Of Scotland by BlackViper(op): 10:26pm On Sep 12, 2025
A sheriff has ordered that a self-styled "African tribe" should be removed from privately-owned land in the Scottish Borders.

The three members of the self-proclaimed Kingdom of Kubala have been camping in woodland near Jedburgh for several weeks.

They said they were reclaiming land that was stolen from their ancestors 400 years ago - but the local council said they were breaking the law.

The eviction order, which takes effect immediately, was issued by Sheriff Peter Paterson after the group ignored a previous instruction to leave their encampment by 17:00 on Monday.

None of the group's members were present at Jedburgh Sheriff Court and they did not have legal representation.

The "tribe" has been at the site for several months.

Ghanaian Kofi Offeh, 36, and Jean Gasho, 42, who is originally from Zimbabwe, first arrived in the Jedburgh area in the spring.

Describing themselves as King Atehehe and Queen Nandi, they set up camp on a hillside above the town in the Scottish Borders.

They were joined by "handmaiden" Kaura Taylor, from Texas, who calls herself Asnat.

The group claimed ancestral rights to land and insisted that the Kingdom of Kubala had been born.


Scottish Borders Council initially evicted the trio from the hillside site above Jedburgh in July.

But rather than leave the area, they moved about a mile further out of town to a woodland next to an industrial estate.

The camp is located near Jedburgh in the south of Scotland.

The land's owners, David and Mary Palmer, successfully applied to the courts for the tribe to be evicted.

However, Scottish Borders Council said they had failed to comply with an order to leave the land by 17:00 on Monday.

Jedburgh councillor Scott Hamilton said the group were breaking the law by taking up residence on someone else's land.

He said the landowner had been left with "no option" but to seek an order from the sheriff.

Mr Hamilton, deputy leader of the council, said it was disappointing - but not surprising - that the group had ignored the ultimatum to leave the site.

"They have rebuffed every opportunity to engage with us," he said.

"We can help them, but we won't sit back and let them break the law."

Kofi Offeh spoke to the media at the campsite after the court hearing
He added that comments on social media by the group, which has made allegations of prejudice against the community, had upset a lot of people in the area.

The "tribe" has a growing online presence, with more than 100,000 followers on TikTok and Facebook, and has received worldwide media attention.

Speaking to the media at the campsite following the order, Mr Offeh said the group were "not afraid" of the warrant for their eviction.

"The creator of the heavens and the Earth is the one with us," he said.

"And we are not afraid of whatever the court - the so-called court - has granted."


Asked if the group planned to move elsewhere, the self-proclaimed king said: "If the creator of the heavens and the earth wants us to move from this land, he shall find us a place to go."

Russians, Germany and the rest of Eastern Europe.

I cannot type for long it’s a Friday, but I want you to research this fact.

The Hebrew language was extinct for over a thousand years and scriptural parts were only use for prayers.


A Russian man reinvented the modern day Hebrew.

Same Russian man who Google will tell you is a Jewish name, had a Russian name before he changed it to make it sound Jewish.

Isreal was the name of a person. A particular revision of the Bible revised it to be a place.

By your logic, should we conclude that Blacks in the United States are native Americans simply because their ancestors have lived there for hundreds of years?

Your point is watery.


The red Indians were the natives. The Europeans massacred them before exporting Africans there. No way Blacks can claim it as ancestral land.

In a deep five, not even Columbus discovered America. It is well scripted in his books that same Indians told him some darker toned people have been there.

Don’t believe diluted history, get to basics. These history’s you will find if you search.

Let me amaze you one last time. Do you know the Jewish Talmud’s was written in Aramaic before being translated to Hebrew?

Never believe anything I tell you. Find it.
Re: UK Court Evicts African "Tribe" Which Claims Ancestral Ownership Of Scotland by DiamondsAreFore: 1:02am On Sep 13, 2025
Surprisingly, there are blacks in America who claim that they are not from Africa and they only identify as Native Americans.

Secondly, the Jews began speaking Aramaic during the 70 years of their Babylonian Exile. Aramaic was the official language of the Babylonian Empire.

They still used and have always used their native language which is Hebrew as a liturgical language and as an official language along with Aramaic.

Hello,

Please dig deeper. The Jewish language has been extinct for over a thousand years. It was reestablished by a Russian who merged native European language with the left scribes of Hebrew language.

Do you know in current Hebrew, a person from Eastern Europe can decode a “little” without being Jewish? The identity was stolen and wrapped around native European languages.

Did you research the revised bible o talked about? A revision made Israel a place. It was the name of a person prior to revision.

Let’s even go outside that. Fony believe anything I tell you. Read about the Harvard ancestral DNA research. It had a code name but in a club and can’t remember. But you will find through Google.

It pointed to the native Middle Easterner. Why the current Jews never submit themselves for such test.


Look at the whole scriptural description. Bible or Quran. Go into any reach, you will always find them the word “brown, dark, curly hair”. Those are not Europeans.

Let me amaze you again. Do you know the current Europeans that call themselves Jews cannot pronounce all Jewish sounds.

They are Europeans. They cannot pronounce the “Ha” sound which dwells in Aramaic and Hebrew. You surprised. While they cannot pronounce never pronounce Hamas correctly!

Please! Don’t belie anything I told you. If you do your research and find conflicts, we can address together.
Re: UK Court Evicts African "Tribe" Which Claims Ancestral Ownership Of Scotland by DiamondsAreFore: 1:38am On Sep 13, 2025
I think you're mistaking Yiddish with Hebrew. Yiddish is like a form of pigin Hebrew that was spoken by European Jews and it contains a lot of loan words from German, Polish, Russian and a number of other Eastern Europe languages.

Hebrew as a language itself which is distinct from Yiddish, is a Semitic language, just like Aramaic, Syriac, Arabic etc and it has its own script which is very different from either the Latin or Cyrillic Script which is common across all European countries.

Do you have any proof for such a claim which nobody in serious academia will waste even 2 seconds of their time investigating?

Did you research the revised bible o talked about? A revision made Israel a place. It was the name of a person prior to revision.
Do you know that 90% of African Americans have some degree of European genetic ancestry? Does that disqualify them from being considered black?

If you're going to play the DNA Card, you should know thar there has never been a distinct ethnic or racial group known as Palestinian at any time in the history of the world and the people who are currently using that name "Palestinian" are in actual fact, Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula who migrated to that area. You can easily tell from their names which Arabic tribe and region they come from. That's why you have "Palestinians" with names like Al Hejazi and Ibn Najd. The Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia is where the muslim prophet muhammad comes from, while the Najd region is where the current ruling family of Saudi Arabia comes from.

Any population's appearance will change if they spend hundreds of years of forced exile living away from their ancestral land. That's why African Americans are considerably lighter skinned than subsaharan Africans.

After several centuries and several generations of integration, the original phenotype will begin to change. That's just a fact of nature.

Ethiopian Jews who came to Africa from the ancient kingdom of Israel after the destruction of the First Temple (King Solomon's Temple) look very African because they have been in Africa for so long that they have lost their original Semitic appearance, just the same way that European Ashkenazi Jews have lost their own original Semitic physical appearance. But they still share common cultural and religious identities.

Look at the whole scriptural description. Bible or Quran. Go into any reach, you will always find them the word “brown, dark, curly hair”. Those are not Europeans.

You mentioned Yiddish being a broken form of Hebrew, and yet the “Ha” sound cannot be pronounced! What transition is that? Should be a broken right? My point should make sense to you without saying nothing.

You said black Americans have European ancestry, does it make them European? No! Their parent ancestry is strong and still reflects in their physique, hair and color. They still full of melanin.

You see, if you want to end this argument quick, you have to be sincere with yourself and purge yourself of any ethnic sentiment.

You know a European, African, Asian, Native American, Middle Easterner and Australian at FIRST glance.

Why do you think those Europeans in Isreal are from the Middle East? You know buy cannot accept. They all changed their names.

Everyone changed their name. If you were white and became Jewish, your name will be redefined.

I told you the founder of modern day Hebrew is Russian, you didn’t contest that.

The eye is not blind, you just not accepting it. I don’t need a DNA test ot ancestry test yo tell you puff daddy ot Wesley snipes is from Africa. It’s the eyes! Use same eyes and you will know.

Israel is a western presence in the Middle East.

Boy, you don't sound like someone who even bothers to read a book aside the one that tells you to blow yourself up in the name of an inexistent deity.😂😂

Look up there, you just compared Black Americans to Europeans, but that actually works against you. If Black Americans can have European ancestry and still be considered African American, why can’t Jews have European ancestry and still be considered Jewish and from Israel? You can’t have it both ways.

Also, you said “you know a European, African, Asian at first glance.” Sure, but you also know that people migrate, mix, and adapt. Italians don’t look like Swedes, and not all Africans look the same either, does that mean they’re not African?. You think ancient Israelites stayed in one village for 3,000 years and never moved?. We have Ashkenazi Jews, Mizrahi, Sephardic Jews. So?

“Israel is just a Western presence in the Middle East”. Is “Japan just an Eastern presence in Asia”?🙄 Jews literally have thousands of years of historical and archaeological connection to the land. You can’t erase that just because some of ** came back from Europe.

And quick question. By the way, if everyone “changed their names,” how do you know anyone’s real origin at all? By your logic, if someone named Muhammad changes his name to David, does that make him less Middle Eastern? Names are just labels,they don’t erase DNA or history.

So clear up your nonsense, are you saying Jews aren’t from Israel because some lived in Europe for centuries? Or because Jews don’t look how you expect them to look? Or because you just don’t like Jews being there? Pick one, because right now your argument is running in circles.

They need a more superior firepower aka military might to claim and retain whatever land they want to claim in United Kingdom.


Before Britain began their global expedition to colonize the rest of the world, they first put their house in order, built a formidable military and leadership that supported their invasions.


Without a superior military, you cannot achieve that, so Africans should first go and put their houses in order before launching out to reclaim whatever they believe was stolen from their forefathers grin

You are not entirely correct though. Do you know there are millions of white Yorubas in the Americas?. They have things in their posession passed down from west African ancestors. I believe those white Yoruba are more Yoruba than west Africans because they practice the culture and spirituality more. They are white but Yoruba. It is the same for European Jews that were in Europe for over two thousand years. The white Yorubas speak Portuguese or Spanish and only use Yoruba for prayers

Then Israel today is made up of one third descendants of Europeans. The bulk of the population descends from North Africa and etc
