Popo Bawa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Origin and history
As legendary creatures go, Popo Bawa is of fairly recent origin.
A popular origin story of Popo Bawa proposes that in the 1970s an angry shiek released a djinni to take vengeance on his neighbors. The shiek lost control of the djinni, who took to demonic ways.[citation needed]
It is said[citation needed] because of Zanzibar's past as an Arab-run slave market, the story of Popo Bawa is an articulated social memory of the horrors of slavery. Many of the legends on Zanzibar came from the colonizers and traders of the past, including Arabs, Portuguese, Hindus, Chinese, Britons, Persians and Africans.
Reports of Popo Bawa attacks rise and fall with the election cycle in Zanzibar, although victims argue Popo Bawa is apolitical. Popo Bawa reports rose dramatically relatively recently, in 1995.
Villagers maintain that Popo Bawa becomes enraged if his existence is denied. It is said[citation needed] Popo Bawa spoke to the villagers in 1971 through a girl possessed by the monster. The girl, called Fatuma, spoke in a man's deep voice and then villagers say they heard the sound of a car revving and rustling on a nearby roof. Many of those on the islands believe in exorcisms, and place charms at the base of fig trees or sacrifice goats.
