Alliance Between Mofu People and Their Insects | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY
In northern Cameroon, in the Mandaras Mountains, the Mofu live a unique relationship with insects, sharing with them their homes and cultivations. This year however, a terrible drought hits the region and the termites have left the fields and invaded the huts and granaries.
To fight back, the Mofu people have no choice but to call for Jaglavak. Jaglavak is a ferocious army ant that has the body of a dragon. Only Jaglavak can chase the termites out of the village.
But calling Jaglavak for help is no small matter. Masgrawaï, the old wise man, organises a great search for the little red ant, and performs ceremonies requiring prayers and blood offerings.

Just goes to show you how traditional beliefs can provide not only practical solutions, but reinforce the positive contribution of elders to the community.

Utter lunacy.
We need a new super hero in US. Jaglavak! To fight crime and all other evils on the streets of cities like NYC, San Francisco, L.A and many more. Batman has failed. Lets pray for Jaglavak to come to US soon 😁 . I hope it can take care of the Corrupt elected officials too.
11:13 when the other side of the world learning about technology and in this part of Cameron they’re learning about termites and ants 🐜 lol 😂. Africa is cursed by the dead ☠️

When society collapses, people like this will still be alive when the rest are trying to rely on technology to save them when, in fact, most is being used against us 😅

One of the most important technologies is agroecology, without it you can't have sustainable food production. Part of it has to do with understanding your local ecology. Technology is useless if you can't apply it to your local and inmediate life. If you ignore your local ecology you are doomed.
