APF Reporter Vol.17 #1 Index Home Kenya: Barely Escaping Rwanda Bill Berkeley Story in .rtf Contact the Curator for the story and pictures. By the benighted standards of East Africa, the spectacle of refugees is all too grimly familiar. In a dense labyrinth of makeshift huts with scrap-metal walls and roofs fashioned from black plastic sheeting, children in rags, with bare feet and smudged faces, loiter aimlessly in a stream of muddy sewage. Their grim-faced parents, routed from their homes and stripped of their livelihoods, desperately scrounge for food and firewood in the forest nearby, their lives in chaos, their future uncertain. This could be anywhere in the counter-clockwise arc of despair that has blighted this part of the world for a generation: Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. A few miles from Nyeri, the heart of Mau Mau land, these Kikuyu children beg money from a passerby. Behind them are seen the round mud huts clustered together in protection against Mau Mau raids. Photo by AP/Wide World Photos But this is none of those exhausted battlegrounds this is Kenya. Kenya has long been an exception to the regional rule of interminable wars and economic ruin. East Africa's richest country by far, familiar to safari lovers and Robert Redford fans, Kenya is supposed to be the island of stability in a sea of calamities the rare African success story where majestic game parks lure nearly a million foreign tourists on safari each year, where the telephones work, electricity flows, children go to school in shorts and knee socks, and even bureaucrats stick to the rules.

In December 2002, Miwai Kibaki ended the 24 year rule of Kenya’s second president, Daniel arap Moi in a landslide. Moi’s earlier designation of the son of the first president as his successor, caused a number of cabinet resignations and solidified the opposition. The elections took place against a backdrop of economic adversity caused by a recession which was due to drop in tourism. International terrorist activities, and spiraling criminal and political violence account for the drop in tourism. Economy.

The delegation, in a statement made available to IPS on Tuesday, said it found the situation particularly serious in the Rift Valley Province, where killings still continue sporadically after the recent mass attacks. Over 100 people have been killed and thousands displaced since the latest violence began in January 1998. These clashes have pitted the Kikuyu, Kenya's largest single ethnic group, against the Kalenjin, who are the indigenous people from the affected province.

Kenya - The People Population : 21.4 million in 1989, projected 29.7 million in 1998. Literacy : 69.4% (Male: 75.7, Female 63.3) 1989 census According to the 1989 Census, there are 42 tribes living in Kenya, as well as all of the non-African people groups. As such, it is difficult to make general comments about people in Kenya. Of course, since folks email me all the time looking for me to write their highschool research paper for them, here's some general information: Ethnic population distribution Urban populations Education Languages English is the official language while Kiswahili is the national language. That means that government and education are in English, while everything else tends to be in Swahili. And, in actuality, most of government is in Swahili also. In addition to these two languages, most of the people in Kenya also speak what they would call their "mother tongue" - the language that they grew up speaking. While an increasing number of city-dwellers are growing up speaking English, most rural people still speak their tribal languages when they go home. Kenya's African population is divided on three linguistic groups: Bantu . Concentrations in three main geographical regions - Western Kenya and Lake Victoria region (Luhya, Kisii), east of Rift Valley, (Kikuyu, Embu, Kamba) and Coastal belt (Mijikenda).

75. Ogiek.org: News: Police Move In, Ogiek Youth Charged With Capital Offense In Kenya, it is politically correct to burn forests and evict indigenous people With a vote due this year, Mr Moi s party, the Kenya African National http://www.ogiek.org/news/news-post-02-04-2.htm

Archive 2002 Kenya's hunter-gatherers Another African land-grab April 4 , 2002 MAU FOREST From The Economist print edition In Kenya, it is politically correct to burn forests and evict indigenous people ON A high slope above the Great Rift Valley, Kiprono Sigilai, a hunter-gatherer, sniffs the breeze, smells smoke and deduces that an election is coming. His woodsman's skills do not deceive him. Every time a poll is near, members of President Daniel arap Moi's group, the Kalenjin, are allowed to grab chunks of forest inhabited by Mr Sigilai's tribe, the Ogiek. This ensures that the Kalenjin fervently support Mr Moi, but the forest suffers. The newcomers fell trees, burn bushes and graze cattle on what is left. The Mau forest, where the Ogiek live, was protected by court orders, but that was a frail defence against the government. With a vote due this year, Mr Moi's party, the Kenya African National Union, is unpopular and broke. So it has decided to clear 68,000 hectares (167,000 acres) of woodland, mainly in the Mau forest. Most of the 20,000 Ogiek have already lost their livelihood to loggers. Now they face eviction to make way for ?politically-correct people?, as Kenyans call the Kalenjin. This is not only bad for the Ogiek; it is bad for Kenya, too. The country is mostly arid or semi-arid, and depends for water on a few wooded catchment areas. The forests regulate the water cycle: they soak up rain during the wet season and then gradually release it. The Mau forest supplies two-fifths of the country with water. Its destruction is already causing problems. Of the six big rivers flowing into the Rift Valley, five have become seasonal in recent years and one has almost dried up. The country is slowly recovering from a three-year drought, which has left 2.5m people dependent on food aid. This is hardly the time to lay waste more woodland.

Home News Releases About HRW Get Involved ... RSS IV. VIOLENCE AS A POLITICAL TOOL IN KENYA President Moi confidently predicted in 1991 that the introduction of multiparty politics in Kenya would result in ethnic violence. His prediction has been alarmingly fulfilled. However, far from being the spontaneous result of a return to political pluralism, there is clear evidence that the government has been involved in provoking death, displacement, and terror among ethnic groups that are perceived to support the opposition. The Politics of Division and Politically Motivated "Ethnic Clashes" Political life in multiparty Kenya is largely defined along ethnic lines. The calls for such ethnically exclusive majimboism came initially in the early1990s from Kalenjin and Maasai politicians. These politicians proposed that the Rift Valley, which is allocated the largest number of seats in parliament, was traditionally Kalenjin/Maasai territory and that other ethnic groups living in the area should not be permitted to express differing political views in a multi-party system. Top KANU figures were also implicated in the violence in testimony before a more recent government inquiry and asserted their innocence at that time.

But one thing has remained constant: This country probably has a greater variety of high quality attractions than any other in Africa. But does it offer the right safari experience for you? advertisement Towards the end of the long overnight flight south from Europe the sun comes up over the horizon to illuminate the vastness of Africa below. I already have my nose glued to the window and as the plane creeps further south, I notice I am not the only passenger craning for a glimpse. By the time the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya sail past the excitement is palpable. We are nearly there. For the next hour or so the visitor is assailed by the contrasts which make Kenya one of the world's most interesting countries. As the plane sweeps south on its approach to Nairobi, one's eye flits from the parched, volcano-studded plains of the Rift Valley to the moist cloud-flecked slopes of the Aberdare massif and the lush Kikuyu highlands. Soon the plane is swinging east and, as it descends, the vast scale of the Rift Valley becomes apparent. Below is dusty savannah, then suddenly the seemingly vertical forested walls of the Ngong Hills loom underneath to announce one's arrival in Nairobi. A short hop over Nairobi National Park, still a major destination for migrating wildlife during the long dry seasons, and you are landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
