Conflict In The Kingdom of Animals: Arbitration and The Art of Amicability: THE ART OF AMICABILITY, #1

By Dah (Prince) Roland Amoussou

The exploration of conflict resolution through arbitration and the Art of Amicability in the adult context is not a novelty.

But the need for conflict resolution skills remains crucial in a world marked by wars and adversarial engagements.

Our mission is to demystify and democratize arbitration and the "Art of Amicability" in the adult sphere. We achieve this through an enchanting tale in the "Kingdom of Animals," where arbitration resolves adult conflicts. This adventure highlights the factors influencing arbitration's effectiveness, such as conflicting interests, power imbalances, impartiality, rules, due process, and more.

Through captivating narratives and characters, we explore the challenges and triumphs of animals navigating adult conflicts. We aim to empower adults with a deep understanding of arbitration principles, promoting equitable resolutions, empathy, and understanding.

 

Within the forthcoming pages, we delve into the application of arbitration to resolve disputes among adults in a hypothetical "Kingdom of Animals." This extraordinary adventure unfolds against a backdrop where factors influencing the effectiveness of such a system—conflicting interests, differences, power imbalances, the pivotal role of impartiality and neutrality, the determination and application of proper rules and regulations, and the essence of due process—are brought to light.

Embarking on this journey together, our aim is to instill a profound understanding of the principles underpinning arbitration and the Art of Amicability, empowering adult minds to seek equitable resolutions, embrace empathy, construct bridges of understanding and value through conflict management. 

Join us as we unlock the secrets of the Kingdom of Animals, embarking on an adventure where justice and harmony triumph in the complex realm of adult conflict resolution.

In the hallowed echoes of our ancestors and the revered Kingdom of Savalou, we are graced by a literary treasure—a manuscript emerging from the mythical ruins of Monotap in Zimbabwe. This opus, scribed in the melodious languages of Swahili and Yoruba, unfurls a captivating narrative, weaving the intricate threads of conflict and resolution within the Kingdom of Animals.

Prince Dah Roland Amoussou led us to meet seven magnificent creatures—the noble Simba Oba, the Lion—as the dust of antiquity settled. Each was a symbol of regality, wisdom, and singular distinction that once roamed the expansive landscapes from the western realms to the central and eastern territories of our cherished continent.

The tale unfurls as Simba Oba and Tembo Erin, noble behemoths, find themselves entangled in a rivalry for dominion over their vibrant habitat. Faced with impending chaos, the gracious giraffe, Twiga Gbenga, emerges as a beacon of hope, guiding them towards the Master of Amicability, the venerable and neutral owl, Bundi Alamu.

Within the Kingdom, the inhabitants play their destined roles—the playful monkey, Nyani Eyele; the cunning hyena, Fisi Ajo; and the mighty rhino, Jengo Olufe—all contributing to the harmonious resolution of the conflict. Their actions and names reveal the subtle nuances of their characters, weaving a majestic tapestry of traits.

This enchanting tale pays homage not only to the grandeur of bygone kingdoms but also imparts a profound truth—a timeless reminder that amidst profound conflicts, hope, wisdom, and the capacity to restore harmony endure.
