Meanwhile in Scotland, a self-proclaimed “African tribe” known as the Kingdom of Kubala has been evicted from private woodland in the Scottish Borders after weeks of occupying the land. The group, which claims ancestral ties and has over 100,000 TikTok and Facebook followers, continues to spark global debate.
