[The Kingdom of Barule (Barûle) http://www.Barule.org]

The Kingdom of Barûle exists as a Territory in the North-Pacific, West-Atlantic region of the Republic of Colombia publicly known today as the Department (State) of Chocó and all the north section of the Department of Antioquia, and part of the Departments of Risaralda and Cauca Valley. The Barûleans differ from the rest of the Colombian Population and its Central Government in all aspects, be it gastronomy, culture, ways of life, believes and even ethnicity, since approximately 93% of our population is proudly of African Origins. The Kingdom of Barûle and its citizens continue living within the parameters of the Colombian nation without ceasing to seek diplomatic ways to freedom and finally claim their ancestors' land as an Autonomous and Sovereign Territory.

From the beginning of the 1700's the black enslaved men started a number of rebellions throughout the Virreinato of New Granada. There were big uprisings in the Caribbean coast, Panama, Antioquia, Cundinamarca and the Oriental Pampas. Barûle Regnum was scenario of one of the most important slave revolutions: in Murgana (Tado), in 1727 more than 200 men and women took arms against their oppressor. At the head of the Cimarron group was the legendary Barûle. There was a state of alarm among the landlords and Spaniard provincial and Crown authorities. He and the Mina brothers Antonio and Mateo succeeded in grouping more than 2000 enslaved from around the rivers Novita and San Juan. There is no information about his place or exact date of birth, but he appears in the 1759's slave census of the Chocó Province in Colombia.

Among the enslaved rebels from Tado there was a group with a common characteristic: they had been brought from Jamaica and spoke fluent English. It is not known if they were native from than British Colony, but it is assumed they had stayed there enough time to learn the language.

These enslaved, called "the Jamaicans" due to their place from which they arrived, were considered a treat to the new "masters" because they had been under the British rule and had also received a Christian Protestant doctrine.

In the report to the Popayan Council, preserved in the Cauca Archives, the Governor of Chocó Julián de Trespalacios y Mier stated his concern about the possible bad influence of these slaves over the others. Other than Barûle, Trespalacios mentions Bernabé Mina, José Nongo and Nicolás Nanga. Because of their origins Trespalacios related the Tado and surrounding towns rebellions, to the British interests in the mining region of Chocó and the Cimarron war at the end of the XVII century in Jamaica. The upraising was so big, that it forced the British to sign a treaty with the rebels. Many of them were re-sold and sent to the Chocó mines, where they planted the freedom seed.

Among the causes for salve insurrections was, the straining to hunger and inhuman punishment methods, raping of their women and family dismemberment as well as the increment of the slave labor of the Free State of Tado (1715).

It is believed that HM, King Barûle's African ascendance could be from the: chamba, mandinga, mina, or carabalí; due to the integration and communication that he had with the minas and his tendency to revolt, known of these groups.

By 1727 the slaves of a Ranch organized a committee represented by HM, Barûle and the Mina brothers and in an unexpected day of November, they initiated their War action into freedom. They killed their “master” and fourteen more Spaniards. After dominating the Territory, the Maroons from Tado proclaimed HM, Barûle as Sovereign and King, and the palisade structured an authoritarian government with a military organization.

On February 18 of 1728, the “War for Freedom” breaks out between Maroons and the Spanish Army for the domination of the area, but the deficient logistics and lock of communication among the Maroons, originated a great disadvantage from which the Spanish Army took advantage to win the confrontation.

On February 19 of 1728, HM, King Barûle is executed together with the Mina brothers, by the Spanish Lieutenant Trespalacios Mier, alter being betrayed.

The movement of HM, King Barûle represented his dream of freedom and dignity of the black community in Colombia and in 1990, one of his alleged descendants (Giunëur Bomani Barûle Môsi) auto-declared himself the Sovereign and Monarch of the Barûle Regnum (Kingdom of Barûle) created in honor his ancestor, the Cimarron Slave and founder of Palenque Tado.

Many Africans answer to foreign names they do not know their meanings to. You might wonder why all of His Majesties' three names or last name are completely African (Giunëur Bomani Barûle Môsi). North American by Naturalization, (Without renouncing his Barûlean Roots) HM was born on Tuesday July first of 1975 at 05:00 am, in the "Athens" of South America —Santa Fe de Bogotá (Colombia) as —Armando Mosquera Moreno Aguilar Colorado Peña Castaño Del Pino y Morales. Of Afrikâtus origins from his father's blood line (Citará TC, Kingdom of Barûle) and after living the first stage of his life in Caracas (Venezuela), HM stayed most of his childhood in Bogota, Medellín, Cali (Colombia) and Citará TC (Kingdom of Barûle) among other cities.

His Majesty, King Giunëur I is the first born child of his mother, but at the same time, he is the fourth in his father's personal account. Son of the Lawyer and Politician, HM, Prince Zabrinzky I & the Fashion Designer, HM, Princesa Elena. When HM grew up and realized how significant our African names are to us descendants, and in the assertion of our identity as Africans —HM dropped the foreign names he had. With the idea to reach into his African roots, HM adopted a new identity based on his ethnic principals. This time as Giunëur Bomani Barûle Môsi.

Giunëur —of Wolof origins —this word comes from the Fulani tribes of Guinea, meaning nothing more than "Son of his father." Not only His Majesty's first name has a meaningful translation, but Giunëur starts with a "G" in honor of to the Queen Mother HM, Princesa Elena who was born as Gloria Elena. Bomani —of Ngoni origins— this word means "A Great Warrior" in honor to The United States Marine Corps. Barûle —of Afrikâtus origins— this name was adopted in honor to His Majesty's ancestor, The Great King Barûle. And finally for the family name (Last Name), HM chose Môsi —of Swahili origins— which means "First born child" honoring his Mother, but keeping the first three letters of the last name that he once carried from his father (Mosquera).

On July 1st, 1990, HM King Giunëur I, declares the absolute Independence of [The Kingdom of Barûle] and is unanimously proclaimed by Divine Grace - Sovereign Monarch and Grand Prince of Citará, Head of State, GMGMC, GMC, GMD, GMM, GMRS, Inheritor of the Sun, Descendant of Barûle, Son of Zabrinzky I, Royal Prince of Môsinia, Duke of Bacatá, Marshall of the Royal Territories, Lord of the Rainforest, Absolute Admiral of the Two Seas, Master of the Air Ways, Guardian of the Peace, Ruler and Protector of the Barûleans.

At the beginning of his puberty and due to political matters, HM and The Royal Family were granted Political Asylum on behalf of the United States Government and they emigrated to Los Angeles, California (USA).

Following his graduation from Inglewood High School, HM coursed a couple of years of superior education, before he decided to join the United States Marine Corps (USMC) as an Infantryman 0311 "Grunt," where HM was promoted to the rank of Lance Corporal (LCpl) and years later he is Honorably Discharged as a War Veteran, after an unfortunate back and knees injury during the line of duty; earning medals of Rifle Sharp Shooter, Good Conduct and National Defense.

Parallel to his Honorable Discharge from The United States Marine Corps, HM met the Electric Engineer, HM, Queen Alexâ with whom he fell in love at sight "Hollywood style," changing his moons completely.

Out of the love with HM, Queen Alexâ came his greatest joy of all, a baby boy —His Royal Excellency, Crown Prince Gyäsi on June 27 of 2001, giving a start to a beautiful family.

At the beginning of 2005; on January 21, life illuminated His Majesty once again, with the birth of a gorgeous set of Twins: Their Royal Highnesses, Royal Prince Gözie & Royal Prince Gyäni.
