THE UNSPOKEN TRUTH
A Message to the General Assembly & Elders of Inzu Ya Masaaba
Brothers, Sisters, and Esteemed Elders,
When we set out to rescue _Inzu Ya Masaaba_ as a cultural institution, we knew the truth:
Not everyone would agree with us.
And many would find us inconveniencing to their work methods, to their comfort zones, and to ways that have been practiced for years.
We did not come to fight.
We came in to save IYM for posterity.
For our children, and for their children after them.
1. THE CALL TO OUR ELDERS
Our Elders _MUST_ come down.
Come down from personal history, come down from past grievances, come down from offices and titles.
Many of you know each other. In previous work, in previous politics, you have personal issues.
*For the sake of _We the new generation_, those must be put aside.*
_Butwela_ demands that we choose the institution over individuals.
*2. THE PURPOSE OF EXPOSURE*
In this new process of restoration, *some weaknesses will be exposed*.
Not to shame anyone.
But with the intention to *improve our culture for the betterment* of all Ba’Masaaba.
What is hidden cannot be healed.
What is named can be corrected.
That is cultural constitutionalism.
*3. THE TURNING POINTS*
All areas that now have *legal guidance* — the SG Letter, the AG Clarification, the Consent Agreement Judgment, and the Stand of Umukuuka IV —
*These are our turning points.*
These are not to punish. These are to _focus us for posterity_.
Posterity will not ask who won.
Posterity will ask: _Did you leave Inzu Ya Masaaba stronger than you found it?_
*CLOSING*
So let us walk this road together.
Let the Elders mentor.
Let the Youth implement.
Let the Clans own.
Let the Secretariat coordinate.
*From "I" to "We". From rescue to restoration. From history to posterity.*
_Lwe Butwela ni Ntsoantsaana ye Ba'Masaaba.
