Энганглима была исторически доминирующей на равнинах Кении и Танзании, но в начале 19 -го века была перемещена масаи в начале 19 -го века. |
Энганглима была общиной , которая занимала и, как говорили, доминировали на южных и северных равнинах современной Кении и Танзании соответственно. Они были вытеснены с их территории в начале 19 -го века Масаи . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Источники
[ редактировать ]Людвиг Крапф записал отчеты об энгинегле из лемасггн, чей отец был «Энгобор, макуафи из племени Ангинглы», который «женился на женщине во внутренней части возле Олд Эйбр (Белая гора)», от которого он получил своего сына, Лемасгн. Крапф отмечает, что Энгобур решил проживать в месте под названием Мусуни, который находился на верхнем курсе реки Пангани в окрестностях Королевства Усамбара, когда он вернулся изнутри. Крапф утверждает, что «причина, которая побудила Энгвор, присоединиться к кочевому поселению племени Вакуафи Баррабую ... была потому, что его собственное племя Энганглима имело во время его пребывания в интерьере почти уничтожено диким масаи».
Territory
[edit]Krapf noted that the Enganglima territory;
...occupied the vast territory situated between Usambara, Teita and Ukambani...
— Ludwig Krapf, 1854[1]
Thompson wrote of the 'Wa-kwafi' and their territory which by his description is roughly contiguous with Engánglima territory as mentioned by Krapf. Thompson states that;
The original home of the (Wa-kwafi) was the large district lying between Kilimanjaro, Ugono and Parè on the west, and Teita and U-sambara on the east. This large region is known to the Masai as Mbaravui.
— Thompson, 1883[2]
Furthermore, Maasai sources identify the Enganglima as speakers of a Maa language.[3]
Peoples
[edit]Krapf's account of his informant alludes to a corporate identity that he refers to as 'Wakuafi' which had within it at least two sections, that he refers to as Engánglima and Barrabuyu.[1]
Conflict
[edit]Krapf wrote about conflicts that affected the 'Engánglima' tribe. He notes that they;
...first received a mortal blow from their brethren the Masai, and afterwards from the united forces of the Wakamba, Wanika, Wasuahili and Wateita (and) in consequence of this disastrous catastrophe either disappeared, or retreated to the territory of other Wakuafi in order to escape utter destruction...
— Ludwig Krapf, 1854[1]
According to Thompson's account, a 'series of misfortunes' fell upon the Kwavi about 1830 leading to the eventual collapse of the community. He states that;
In a great war-raid against the Wa-gogo to the south they suffered a severe repulse, and great numbers were slaughtered. The same disaster fell upon them shortly after, in a raid against their brethren of Kisongo...While the Wa-kwafi were in this unhappy plight, the Masai of the plains to the west fell upon them and smote them hip and thigh, and thus broke up and revenged themselves upon the most powerful division of the tribe...
— Thompson, 1883[2]
Diaspora
[edit]According to Thompson's narrative, the Kwavi were not entirely annihilated 'for a large division of the clan kept together, and contrived to cut their way through Kikuyu and to reach Lyikipia where they settled. Another section crossed the meridional trough and reached the opposite half of the plateau in Guas' Ngishu'.[2]
In both districts, they found superb grazing-grounds and plenty of elbow-room, and there for a time they remained quietly, and increased rapidly in numbers.
— Joseph Thompson[2]
According to his account these conflicts formed part of the Iloikop wars.
