description En 2021, con la elección de un nuevo jefe (el coronel más joven de la historia, con 40 años), las relaciones entre los Accompong Maroons y el gobierno de Jamaica se de­terioraron. Bajo el mando del jefe Richard Currie, que se describe a sí mismo como funcionario del gobierno y jefe de Esta­do, Accompong afirmó su soberanía como el “Estado soberano de Accompong”, con Accompong Town como capital del Cock­pit Country. Los cimarrones del Estado de Accompong se autodenominan “herederos del Tratado de 1738 y de la identificación cimarrona”, afirmando ser descendientes de africanos occidentales autoliberados y anteriormente esclavizados y de amerindios indígenas. Según el jefe Currie, “La tierra es el señor y su plenitud. Nuestra soberanía se deriva de la libertad de nuestras tierras, por lo que cualquier cosa que hagamos con nuestras tierras tiene un valor imperati­vo para nuestra seguridad como pueblo”. Esta declaración de soberanía ha llevado a que el Gobierno de Jamaica declare que no reconoce ningún “Estado dentro de un Estado”. Por lo tanto, se niega a colaborar o a financiar aquellas comunidades que ha descrito como “cimarrones secesionistas”. Este caso de estudio sitúa a los cimarrones contemporáneos en la historia de Jamaica y su relación actual con el Estado jamaicano. Explora, en particular, las nociones con­tradictorias de soberanía que pueden estar detrás del conflicto entre el “Estado sobera­no de Accompong” y el Estado de Jamaica. La clave del conflicto son las diferencias en el significado del Tratado de 1738 firmado por los “primeros cimarrones”, que lucharon contra los británicos hasta un punto muerto en el siglo XVIII, obligándolos a llegar a un acuerdo con ellos. Para los cimarrones de hoy, el Tratado es eterno, mientras que el ahora independiente Estado jamaicano lo considera abrogado. ¿Es posible un acerca­miento?

Bajo el mando del jefe Richard Currie, que se describe a sí mismo como funcionario del gobierno y jefe de Esta­do, Accompong afirmó su soberanía como el “Estado soberano de Accompong”, con Accompong Town como capital del Cock­pit Country. Los cimarrones del Estado de Accompong se autodenominan “herederos del Tratado de 1738 y de la identificación cimarrona”, afirmando ser descendientes de africanos occidentales autoliberados y anteriormente esclavizados y de amerindios indígenas. Según el jefe Currie, “La tierra es el señor y su plenitud. Nuestra soberanía se deriva de la libertad de nuestras tierras, por lo que cualquier cosa que hagamos con nuestras tierras tiene un valor imperati­vo para nuestra seguridad como pueblo”. Esta declaración de soberanía ha llevado a que el Gobierno de Jamaica declare que no reconoce ningún “Estado dentro de un Estado”. Por lo tanto, se niega a colaborar o a financiar aquellas comunidades que ha descrito como “cimarrones secesionistas”. Este caso de estudio sitúa a los cimarrones contemporáneos en la historia de Jamaica y su relación actual con el Estado jamaicano.

Para los cimarrones de hoy, el Tratado es eterno, mientras que el ahora independiente Estado jamaicano lo considera abrogado. ¿Es posible un acerca­miento?In 2021, on the election of a new chief – the youngest ever colonel at the age of 40–re­lations between the Accompong Maroons and the Jamaican Government soured. Un­der Chief Richard Currie, who describes himself as a government official and head of state, Accompong asserted sovereignty as the “Sovereign State of Accompong,” with Accompong Town as the capital of the Cockpit Country. The Maroons of the State of Accompong identify themselves as “heirs to the 1738 Treaty and Maroon Iden­tification”, claiming descent from self-freed formerly enslaved West Africans and indig­enous Amerindians. According to Chief Currie, “The earth is the lord and the full­ness thereof. Our sovereignty is derived from the freedom of our lands, so whatever we do with our lands is of imperative value to our security as a people”. This declaration of sovereignty has led the Jamaican Govern­ment to declare that they do not recognise any “state within a state”. The Government, therefore, refuses to engage with or fund those communities that they have described as “Secessionist Maroons”. This case study situates the contemporary Maroons in the history of Jamaica and their current rela­tionship to the Jamaican state. It explores, in particular, the contending notions of sovereignty which may lay behind the con­flict between the “Sovereign State of Ac­compong” and the Jamaican State. Key to the conflict is the differences in mean­ings of the 1738 Treaty made by the “First Time Maroons,” who fought the British to a stand-still in the 18th Century, forc­ing them to come to terms with them. For Maroons today, the Treaty is eternal, while the now-independent Jamaican state sees it as abrogated. Therefore, is a rapprochement possible?application/pdf10.18601/16577558.n40.122346-21321657-7558https://bdigital.uexternado.edu.co/handle/001/15732https://doi.org/10.18601/16577558.n40.12spaFacultad de Finanzas, Gobierno y Relaciones Internacionaleshttps://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/oasis/article/download/9625/16066Núm. 40 , Año 2024 : Julio-Diciembre27440255OasisAshley, P.
