Kenene

Suburban communes host Kenene which are like state police. They have no home commune but instead move between them as needed to help protect and keep peace. The Kenene guide and protect residents on their travels between the communes. They usually lead groups called tutura [t̠ʃɵ.d̠ʒɵ.ɹʌ] of up to 200 individuals at a time and this service is provided at no cost to Marafire citizens.

The Kenene are employed by the city-states, and in exchange for their services each commune gladly provides food and shelter to them and their tutura. Kenene can be identified by their brightly colored and elaborate headdresses, worn so they are easily seen through the forest by everyone in the tutura.
