Long-term treaties between Britain and the Maasai came to an end in 2004 sparking conflicts in parts of southern Kenya. In 2004, 22 people were killed in the conflict between pastoralists and encroaching agricultural communities in the Rift Valley. New violence in 2005 involved allegations of government troops killing herders. Indigenous peoples of Kenya, with IPACC support, were active in the process of constitutional review in 2003-2004. In 2004, the emphasis has been on the National Land Policy formulation. Indigenous peoples were not initially involved but following protests they have been included by the National Land Commission as a representative delegation of both hunter-gatherer and pastoralist peoples. Vice Chairperson of IPACC, Mary Simat was interviewed on television representing indigenous issues in discussion with the Permanent Secretary. Mrs Simat has emphasised that urban policy makers do not know the situation on the ground for rural indigenous peoples. Land tenure issues require sensitivity to indigenous cultures and sustainable economic strategies. Mrs Simat leads a working group of herders and hunters who have been invited to join a government reference group on land issues.

Extractions: The Coming of Islam The coming of Islam eventually changed the nature of Sudanese society and facilitated the division of the country into north and south. Islam also fostered political unity, economic growth, and educational development among its adherents; however, these benefits were restricted largely to urban and commercial centers. The spread of Islam began shortly after the Prophet Muhammad's death in 632. By that time, he and his followers had converted most of Arabia's tribes and towns to Islam (literally, submission), which Muslims maintained united the individual believer, the state, and society under God's will. Islamic rulers, therefore, exercised temporal and religious authority. Islamic law ( sharia), which was derived primarily from the Quran, encompassed all aspects of the lives of believers, who were called Muslims ("those who submit" to God's will). Within a generation of Muhammad's death, Arab armies had carried Islam north and east from Arabia into North Africa. Muslims imposed political control over conquered territories in the name of the caliph (the Prophet's successor as supreme earthly leader of Islam). The Islamic armies won their first North African victory in 643 in Tripoli (in modern Libya). However, the Muslim subjugation of all of North Africa took about seventy-five years. The Arabs invaded Nubia in 642 and again in 652, when they laid siege to the city of Dunqulah and destroyed its cathedral. The Nubians put up a stout defense, however, causing the Arabs to accept an armistice and withdraw their forces.

Profile Of The Beja People Of Sudan, Eritrea And Egypt They are the indigenous people of this area, and we first know of them in All the beja peoples, by our more conservative estimates, number 2540315. http://strategyleader.org/profiles/beja.html
Extractions: Status : 92% unevangelized, 8% evangelized non-Christian, 0% NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The name Beja is applied to a grouping of Muslim peoples speaking dialects of a Cushitic language called Beja, and living in Sudan, Eritrea and Egypt. They are traditionally pastoral people whose territory covers some 110,000 square miles in the extreme northeast of Sudan. History : Many scholars believe the Beja to be derived from early Egyptians because of their language and physical features. They are the indigenous people of this area, and we first know of them in historical references in the Sixth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Over the centuries, they had contact and some influence from Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Turks. A few Beja became Christians in the sixth century. The southern Beja were part of the Christian Kingdom of Axum centered in what is now southern Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. Although never completely conquered by a foreign power, the Beja in the 15th century were absorbed into Islam by marriages and trading contacts with nearby Arab tribes. In the seventeenth century they expanded farther south seeking better pastures and conquering other peoples along the way. By the 18th century, the Hadendowa Beja were the dominant people of eastern Sudan. There has never been an official census in Ethiopia/Eritrea, so figures are estimates from various field sources, notably published anthropologists. Uncertain data indicates there may be as many as 2,300,000 people total who speak the Beja language and identify themselves as Beja. Our figures estimate Beja speakers at about 107,000 in Eritrea, about 60,000 in Egypt and 2,134,000 in Sudan. It appears there are approximately 99,000 Beni-Amer speakers of Tigre. The total number of all Beja people in Eritrea speaking Beja or Tigre appears to be about 206,000. Some estimates are higher than 500,000. All the Beja peoples, by our more conservative estimates, number 2,540,315.
Abst The Current Situation in the Horn of africa Statements from the Uppsala Forum be to revive indigenous tree species in the Khors and to integrate beja http://www.penhanetwork.org/abst.htm
Extractions: Funding Source: SIAS, Uppsala In the region as a whole there are at present a number of problems which need to be addressed: food security, environmental degradation, economic stagnation, and the question of displaced people. Eritrea and Ethiopia are moving towards resolving their differences and have begun cooperating with each other. The task of reconstruction and rehabilitation is immense but both peoples are willing to work together. Nevertheless, the question of democratic nation building needs to be faced. This will include building secular states in an area where fundamentalism has a strong influence, resettling refugees, reestablishing a viable economy. The end of the war in Eritrea and Ethiopia is already affecting other countries. Sudan now recognises both administrations. One would wish to see this example of conflict resolution being followed by others.
