African tribe living in Scottish woodland confronted by locals trying to destroy camp

Officials are calling for calm

The self-proclaimed 'Queen' of the Kubala Kingdom posted video footage of harassment by a group of locals she said included bricks being thrown at them, racial attacks, and shouting and intimidation.

Queen Nandi, 43, a mother of seven who was born Jean Gasho, is joined in the tribe by her husband 'King Atehene' and their handmaiden Asnat.

They have settled in a forest in Jedburgh, with the intention of reclaiming land they claim was stolen from their ancestors in the Highlands 400 years ago.

Their presence had baffled locals but last night tensions escalated with the 'queen' reporting they had been attacked with 'bricks' and 'racial slurs' by locals who wanted them out.

A local councillor has now spoken out and called for an end to 'mob mentality' and said they would eventually be removed but through 'lawful means.'

Jean took footage of two men who were harassing their tribe.

She posted the footage, showing the two men shouting hate, swearing and pointing at her, stating: "Footage of yesterday’s racial attack on Kubala Kingdom by two Edomites who claimed the whole of Jedburgh community is behind them and will praise their 'heroic acts' of invading and attacking Kubala as we dwelt in our tabernacles in peace in Mambaza Woodlands.

"They claimed no Edomite has been brave enough to do what they did yesterday. "

Later on, Jean says she was sitting in her tent when 'Jedburgh Edomite children' came to throw rocks at the tribe - with one coming through the tent.

She said: "I’ve lived this before, in Stockton where rocks were being thrown through our windows.

"Now I’m sitting here, in my tent, and reading my story in a national paper, 'Queen of Kubala reveals past life in Prison.'

Jean later posted more videos, one showing the tribe going about their rituals - when children and men were harassing them, getting very close, shouting at them and putting their phones right in the tribe's faces.

In one video, a man with a blue hoodie can be heard speaking to the tribe, saying hateful slurs like: "You're an absolute f idiot, you're delusional".

Jean stated the public called the police as they witnessed the tribe being racially attacked and harassed on TikTok Live 'by over 15 people from Jedburgh community'.

A video shows the police arriving to carry out a 'welfare check', asking the tribe if the public 'hurt [them] in anyway' or 'destroyed their property'.

Scottish Borders Council member for Jedburgh Scott Hamilton has now released a statement over the attacks - calling for calm.

He said the message was about "illegal campers" who camped on a piece of land which belonged to Scottish Boarders Council (SBC) "a number of months ago".

"The Kingdom of Kubala urges all Kubalans around the world who are standing firmly with the King and Queen of the North to continue to pray for us."
