UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
After a few years, when a new generation arrived, the rivalry became more severe, and death became the norm.
One nightfall, Uluhu, the commander of the Geer warriors' group, assembled his men and led them away from the hamlet.
They converse and plan for days in that place.
The village's old men and women understood they were plotting how to strike and defeat Ucholo.
The other community's happiness and joy came from defeating other communities.
When their warriors return from the war with success, the entire village holds a massive celebration. The number of persons murdered on the opposite side, the number of cows, raided, and the number of others looted was all used as indicators of victory.
Uluhu, on the other hand, was planning ways to bring the two groups together in peace.
He emphasized to his group why bringing peace was so vital.
Many people disagreed with him, but he was the commander and a most revered man among his troops, and they obeyed him.
The older guys, however, who are the grounds for this waning rivalry, were the source of concern for these young men.
They returned later that evening and convened a conference of the land's elder ladies, men, and leaders. Uluhu informed the community of his plan and the reasons for it.
Surprisingly, those who had been clever enough to support the plan turned around and began disparaging young men, calling them cowards incapable of defending the land and exacting vengeance for what had been done to their town.
The encounter ended in failure, but the man remained unfazed.
He went to speak with chiefs and other leaders to persuade them.
Finally, people paid attention to him, and he received unwavering support.
Uluhu and the chiefs dispatched a delegate to Ucholo to ask about the peace treaty.
The delegations were welcomed by the leaders of that country, who were informed of the message. The people of Ucholo agreed to hold a peace meeting.
The delegates cheerfully returned to Geer land after deciding on a venue and a date.
The factions convened at the location for the peace talk and signing the following moon, but there were some rules in place before they arrived.
No weapons should be brought to the peace talks, the two parties agreed.
Ucholo warriors, on the other hand, surreptitiously took their weapons and hid them near the location.
Everyone gathered that morning, old men, women, and children, and there were festivities all around as everyone was overjoyed.
The conference began in the afternoon, and the chiefs discussed the disagreements and how to resolve them. The Ucholo warriors vanished and reappeared with their weapons while everyone was focusing and listening.
Over 700 people were killed in the attack on Geer, including women and children.
