You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Multiple issues|((refimprove|date=March 2018))((more footnotes|date=March 2018))))

The '''Afro-Bolivian Royal House''' is a ceremonial [[monarchy]] recognized as part of the [[Plurinational State of Bolivia]], which does not interfere with the system of the [[Politics_of_Bolivia|Presidential republic]] in force within the country. It is centred in [[Mururata (village)|Mururata]], a village in the [[Yungas]] region of Bolivia. The monarchy is treated as a customary leader of the [[Afro-Bolivian community]].

The powers of the Afro-Bolivian king are similar to those of a [[Chieftain|traditional king]], representing the Afro-Bolivian community.<ref name="Busqué">((cite web|last=Busqué|first=Jordi|title=Bolivia's little-known tribal kingdom|date=11 March 2021|url=https://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20210310-bolivias-little-known-tribal-kingdom|access-date=16 March 2021|website=www.bbc.com|language=en))</ref>

==History==
[[File:Escudo Real Afroboliviano.svg|thumb|left|150px|The coat of arms of the Afro-Bolivian kings]]
The components of this royal house are the descendants of an old [[Monarchies_in_Africa#Sub-national_monarchies|African tribal monarchy]] that were brought to Bolivia as slaves.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://elpais.com/cultura/2018/01/19/actualidad/1516326396_507680.html|title=El retorno del rey negro boliviano a sus raíces africanas|first=Andres|last=Rodríguez|newspaper=El País |date=January 19, 2018|via=elpais.com))</ref> The founding monarch, Uchicho, was allegedly of [[Kongo people|Kongo]] and [[Senegalese]] origin, and was brought to the Hacienda of the Marquis de Pinedo, in the area of Los Yungas in what is now La Paz Department. Other slaves allegedly recognized him as a man of regal background (a prince from the ancient [[Kingdom of Kongo]]<ref name="Busqué" />) when seeing his torso exposed with royal [[Tribal scarification|tribal marks]] only held by royalty. He was crowned in 1823, and was succeeded by Bonifaz, who adopted the surname of Pinedo, the plantation owner. Bonifaz was succeeded by Don José and Don [[Bonifacio Pinedo|Bonifacio]], the latter of whom was born in 1880 and crowned in 1932. When Bonifacio died in 1954, the house was led by his oldest daughter Doña Aurora. Because of the lack of a male heir, the kingdom was left without a king for 38 years. Aurora's oldest son, [[Julio Pinedo]], was given the title of king in 1992. 

The Royal House was officially recognized by the Bolivian state in 2007 with the public coronation of Julio, the current King of the Afro-Bolivian community, which was done by the authorities of the [[La Paz Department (Bolivia)|La Paz Department]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.casarealafroboliviana.org/fundamentos-juridicos.html|title=Web Oficial de la Casa Real Afroboliviana|website=www.casarealafroboliviana.org|language=Spanish))</ref>

King Julio has a son, Prince Rolando, who was born in 1995. By 2021 he was studying law at the Universidad de Los Andes in La Paz and preparing for his prospective role as king, stating that his ambitions were to "keep pushing forward to make the Afro-Bolivian community more recognised and visible, the way my father has done until now".<ref name="Busqué" />
