The African Renaissance Conference from Vision to Reality home what's on what's on next month who we are ... links Background to the Conference The concept of an African renaissance is rapidly gaining popularity among many African leaders, scholars, entrepreneurs, pan-Africanists, thinkers, artists, and other friends of Africa. Former President Mandela used the concept for the first time in 1994 at an OAU summit in Tunisia. President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa and a growing number of other African leaders have since been using the concept. The concept is increasingly used at African regional and continental gatherings. Eminent African thinkers and academics have also embraced and are increasingly using the concept, as well as international leaders in America and the UK. Centres and Institutes are being established to support and further develop the idea. In South Africa, a debate on the African Renaissance and how it can be used to bring about sustainable growth, stability, peace and competitive participation in the world economy has started. However, much of this debate has so far been confined to the African continent and the conference is part of an effort to bring it to Europe, the most important economic and political partner for Africa. Aims and objectives st Century. Areas of particular concern will be governance, business, science, technology and culture.

The 'tribal clashes,' as they became known, first broke out in October 1991 on the border of the three provinces, and rapidly spread to neighboring districts. By December 1991, when parliament repealed the section of the constitution making Kenya a one-party state, large areas of western Kenya had been affected as tens of thousands were displaced from their land. Kalenjin and Maasai politicians opportunistically revived the idea of majimboism, ethnic regionalism, championed by KADU at independence. KANU politicians close to Moi revived the calls for majimboism as a way of countering the demand for multipartyism in Kenya. Under the cover of a call for regional autonomy, prominent politicians demanded the forcible expulsion of all ethnic groups from the Rift Valley, except for those pastoral groups-Kalenjins, Maasai, Turkana and Samburu-that were on the land before colonialism. A number of majimbo rallies were held calling for 'outsiders' in the Rift Valley to return to their 'motherland,' or for 'true' Rift Valley residents to defend themselves from opposition plots to eliminate the indigenous peoples of the valley. While many Kenyans have no quarrel with the concept of regionalism

www.idpproject.org Kenya Kenya menu List of sources Maps Kenya: tensions rise as government fails to address internal displacement When the KANU (Kenya African National Union) government was voted out in December 2002 after almost 40 years in power, around 350,000 remaining internally displaced people (IDPs) regained hopes of returning to the land they had been forced to flee during the 1990s. However, Unresolved land disputes from colonial era This order and the consequent violent displacements coincided almost exactly with the amendment of the Kenyan Constitution to permit multi-party politics in September 1991 (Article 19, Oct 1997, p. 24). Soon afterwards, parties were formed along tribal lines, with KANU officials paying landless youth to harass and force mainly Kikuyu people out of their homes and constituencies. The major periods of violence and displacement centred around the 1992 and 1997 elections and the main perpetrators of the violence in both these elections were predominantly dispossessed Kalenjin and Maasai supporters of the KANU government against members of opposition groups. By 1993 about 300,000 people had fled their homes (HRW, June 1997, p.36). In addition to the upheaval in the Rift Valley, there was a major outbreak of violence in the Mombasa region/Coast province in August and early September 1997. This violence caused the displacement of up to 120,000 people and left at least 100 dead. The victims again belonged largely to groups perceived to be associated with the political opposition, while the perpetrators were mainly disgruntled young men who were paid to commit the atrocities (US DOS, 30 January 1998, sect 1a; Nowrojee 1998, p. 65; USCR 1998).

Environmental Justice Case Study: Maasai Land Rights in Kenya and Tanzania By: Julie Narimatsu Table of Contents Problem Background Key Actors Demographics ... Back to EJ Case Studies Homepage PROBLEM While many people perceive the term eco-tourism to mean a more friendly, sustainable kind of tourism, most are not aware of the negative impacts that result from this type of tourism. Most of what goes on is what is considered "nature tourism." It is based on the use of natural resources in an undeveloped state. Therefore, when tourists engage in "nature tourism," they are seeing the wilds of Africa, South America and Australia, among other destinations, free of human interaction or disruption. To distinguish among the many types of tourism, we will define the more idealistic eco-tourism as "progressive, educational travel, which conserves the environment and benefits the locals (Schaller, 2)." In Africa, the Maasai tribes of Kenya and Tanzania have endured a long history of colonization by the British. The value of the natural resources in these areas became apparent from the very beginning, when the British perceived the pastoralist Maasai and other tribes to be incompatible with the wildlife that inhabited the area. With this separation of people and nature, national parks in Kenya were created without any consideration for the local communities (Cheeseman, 2). Today, these problems have escalated as more and more parks and reserves are being created by the government without the participation or consent of the indigenous people. The indigenous people consider development, whether it is through tourism or other government projects, to only benefit others and not their own situations (Kipuri, 2). Over the course of their existence, Maasai land has been taken away from them repeatedly, and after many broken promises of compensation and participation, the Maasai have started to fight for their land rights. Says Edward ole Mbarnoti, a Maasai leader

FACT SHEET: Republic of Kenya at a Glance Background Kenya is the heart of African safari country, boasting the most diverse collection of wild animals on the continent. There is an annual mass migration of wildebeests in the Masai Mara. Fossils found in East Africa suggest that protohumans roamed the area more than 20 million years ago. Recent finds near Kenya's Lake Turkana indicate that hominids lived in the area 2.6 million years ago. Cushitic-speaking people from northern Africa moved into the area that is now Kenya beginning around 2000 B.C. Arab traders began frequenting the Kenya coast around the first century. Kenya's proximity to the Arabian Peninsula invited colonization, and Arab and Persian settlements sprouted along the coast by the eighth century. During the first millennium A.D., Nilotic and Bantu peoples moved into the region. The Swahili language, a mixture of Bantu and Arabic, developed as a lingua franca for trade between the different people. Arab dominance on the coast was eclipsed by the arrival in 1498 of the Portuguese, who were drawn by spices and money. After venturing further and further down the western coast of Africa, Vasco da Gama finally rounded the Cape of Good Hope and headed up the continent's eastern coast in 1498. Seven years later, the Portuguese onslaught on the region began. By the 16th century, most of the indigenous Swahili trading towns, including Mombasa, had been either sacked or occupied by the Portuguese - marking the end of the Arab monopoly of the Indian Ocean trade.

This is to be seen in the worship of African Deities, the homage to the ancestors and the recourse to divination, magic and other rituals.

The country was a de facto one-party state from 1969 until 1982 when the ruling Kenya African National Union (KANU) made itself the sole legal party in Kenya. MOI acceded to internal and external pressure for political liberalization in late 1991. The ethnically fractured opposition failed to dislodge KANU from power in elections in 1992 and 1997, which were marred by violence and fraud, but are viewed as having generally reflected the will of the Kenyan people. President MOI stepped down in December of 2002 following fair and peaceful elections. Mwai KIBAKI of the Democratic Party of Kenya defeated KANU candidate Uhuru KENYATTA and assumed the presidency following a campaign centered on an anticorruption platform.

Introduction: Rastafari, old and new "Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without the feminine ferment." Karl Marx "Having survived fifty years of social and religious intolerance, discrimination and harassment, the Rastafari movement is poised between becoming a part of world history, contributing to a universal culture, and being a passing phenomenon of the 20th century [Campbell 1987:234]." The perspective here is that the place of Rastafari in a universal culture, a new society, depends not only on it becoming more informed by class analysis, as Campbell contends, but also on the nurturing of the feminist ferment which here is called 'the new Rastafari.' Original Rastafari is uncompromising in its commitment to 'chant down Babylon,' the capitalist system. However, it is bound by the 'capitalist male deal.' Sexism is the key defining feature distinguishing the old rasta from the new. And it is also a fetter limiting the old rasta to a black nationalist accommodation with capitalism. In contrast, the defining feature of new Rastafari is the affirmation that class consciousness cannot exist without gender consciousness. This study considers gender and class relations in Caribbean and East African popular struggles during three crises of capitalism in the 20th century. It argues that with the growing internationalization of the world market, capital has sought to develop through establishing class alignments characterized by specific gender relations. Using the concept of the 'male deal' to examine gender dynamics during each crisis, the study concludes that the 'new Rastafari' is part of an international social movement of resistance to structural adjustment and affirmation of a new society which transcends the limitations of the male deal.

Global awareness of the crisis concerning the conservation of biodiversity is assured following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. Of equal concern to many world citizens is the uncertain status of the indigenous knowledge that reflects many generations of experience and problem-solving by thousands of ethnic groups across the globe. Very little of this knowledge has been recorded, yet it represents an immensely valuable data base that provides humankind with insights on how numerous communities have interacted with their changing environment including its floral and faunal resources.

Ces bovins, par rapport à d'autres races d'Afrique de l'Est, ont démontré une certaine tolérance à la trypanosomiase. Ils ont des taux de morbidité et de mortalité inférieurs et requièrent moins de traitements. Un programme de sélection a été mis en place afin d'améliorer les caractéristiques de production de viande de ces bovins tout en conservant leur trypanotolérance. Les taureaux issus de ce programme de sélection sont aujourd'hui vendus aux éleveurs dans d'autres régions du Kenya infestées par la mouche tsé-tsé.
