Missing Texas Woman Found Living With Lost African Tribe in Scotland

Kaura Taylor, a Texas woman reported missing by her family, has been found living with the Kingdom of Kubala, a self-proclaimed lost tribe in a Scottish forest near Jedburgh. The group, led by King Atehene, formerly opera singer Kofi Offeh, and Queen Nandi, claim descent from the Messiah and assert ancestral rights to land they say was stolen 400 years ago. Taylor, now known as Asnat or Lady Safi, insists she is not missing and rejects local authorities' concerns, emphasizing her adult status and autonomy. The tribe lives a simple, nature-connected lifestyle, rejecting local laws in favor of following the laws of their God, Yahowah, and has faced eviction notices and hostility, including arson attacks on their tents. Despite their claims, there is no evidence supporting their religious or land ownership assertions, and relatives of Taylor have suggested she was groomed online by Queen Nandi. The group continues to seek recognition and hopes to expand their community while maintaining their distinct beliefs and way of life.
