The Rise of The Skinwalkers Among Us
The Skinwalker, an ancient legend originating from Native American culture, assumes diverse forms within different tribes.

History of shaka zulu
Born in 1787, also known as Shaka Zulu, Shaka was the esteemed king of the Zulu Kingdom from 1816 to 1828. During his reign, he implemented extensive reforms that restructured the military into a formidable force. Shaka is credited with the creation of the Zulu impi, a disciplined and highly effective fighting force that successfully conquered a significant portion of southern Africa. Shaka was the son of Zulu King Senzangakona kaJama and Nandi, the daughter of Chief Alangeni. As a sickly child, he often faced mistreatment from his father. At the age of 12, Shaka experienced rejection as an illegitimate son and was subsequently exiled to the Methewa clan. It was during this time that he received mentorship from Inkosi Dingiswayo, the Methewa king. Under Dingiswayo's guidance, Shaka acquired knowledge in warfare and military strategy. He was initiated into an ibutho lempi, a fighting unit, and further refined the ibutho military system. Shaka also formed alliances with neighboring chiefdoms to counter and defend against raids from the north, primarily through diplomatic means and occasional strategic assassinations. In 1816, Shaka returned to the Zulu Kingdom and seized power from his father. Immediately, he initiated a series of reforms that revolutionized the Zulu military. He introduced new weapons and tactics, such as the short stabbing spear, ikwa, and the buffalo horn formation. Additionally, Shaka established a system of military training that emphasized discipline and obedience. Shaka's reign coincided with the onset of the Mfecane/Difaqane, a period characterized by widespread disruption and warfare in southern Africa during the early 19th century. While Shaka preferred employing social and propagandistic political methods, he also engaged in battles. Under his leadership, the Zulu Army became one of the most dominant forces in southern Africa, conquering numerous neighboring tribes and expanding the Zulu Kingdom to its greatest extent. Shaka was known for his ruthless rule, resulting in the death or enslavement of many of his enemies. However, he also possessed diplomatic skills and successfully forged alliances with other tribes. Shaka's reign came to an end in 1828 when he was assassinated by his half-brother, Dingane.
