Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: "You say you are a man, but I weighed your burden and you are weak"
"You say you are a man, but I have weighed your burden and you are weak." In the context of the Asafo warrior groups, weighing scales are primarily a symbol for the comparison between two parties, a metaphor for measuring power and for evaluating strength. In the case of this motif, the rival company is dismissed as weak and easily defeated. Author: Doris Kubisch
