43. Kenya-Country Information The first people to settle in Kenya were indigenous African communities Bantu This includes the Kikuyu (Gikuyu), luhya, Kamba, Embu, Meru, and Kisii. http://kabiza.com/Kenya-Country-Information.htm

Kenya Country Information (Kenya National Anthem) Kenya's Name Kenya - a wonderful sounding word is named after a mountain of the same name. It was given by the Kikuyu people who lived around present day Mt. Kenya which they referred to as Kirinyaga or Kerenyaga, meaning ‘mountain of whiteness’ because of its snow capped peak (yes, Africa does have snow capped peaks). Mt Kirinyaga which was the main landmark became synonymous with the territory the British later claimed as their colony. However, the name Kenya arose out of the inability of the British and others to pronounce Kirinyaga correctly. When one hears the name "Kenya," there are images of the savannas, animals, safari trips, the Rift Valley, the Indian Ocean coastline and Lake Victoria but Kenya is over (2003 estimate) 30 million people of various ethnic groups (47) and backgrounds and without having met the people of Kenya, one has not seen the real, living Kenya. Early Visitors and Settlers The first people to settle in Kenya were indigenous African communities who migrated from various parts of the continent (Kenya is made up of various people groupings). Other visitors included traders, explorers, missionaries, slave-traders and travelers who came in from various parts of the world such as Portugal, Arabia, Roman empire, India, Greece and as far as China. They visited mainly the East African Coast from as early as the first century A.D. While the majority of the visitors went back to their countries, some settled, and intermarried with the local populations giving rise to a new Swahili culture along the Coast which has a strong Arabian flavor.

Stone and Iron Age cultures thrived in the region, with the earliest of the modern inhabitants arriving in the region in around 2,000 B.C. Arabs settled in the area from the 10th century, mingling with local cultures and trading into the interior. The Portuguese arrived in the 16th century, occupying or sacking trading outposts right along the East African coast. Their colonial rule was harsh, but their grip was tenuous, as the posts needed to be supplied from Goa in India. The Arabs managed to win control back from the Portuguese in 1720. The region suffered a decline in prosperity after the depredations of the Portuguese era, meaning the other European countries had little interest in tapping into its wealth. In the interior, the Masai gradually achieved control over many of the other groups, controlling the Rift Valley and Abadere Highlands right up until the 1880s.

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.

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.

Kakamega Forest Earlham College Biology Department Kakamega Home Ecology ... Other Links Why Conserve Kakamega Forest? Twenty percent of Kenya's species are endemic to the country, a majority of which are endemic to it's forests. At the turn of the century there were 240,000 hectares (ha) of rain forest in Kenya. Now there are only 23,000 ha left due to severe deforestation and fragmentation. For the most part this is due to encroachment of shambas (small farms) and tea plantations as well as both legal and illegal government sanctioned harvesting by the timber industry. Kakamega forest is the eastern-most rain forest in East Africa and the only rainforest found in Kenya. As an equatorial rain forest, it receives approximately two meters of rain per year, concentrated in two wet seasons. These environmental conditions create a forest that is extremely high in diversity of plant and animal life. Past Management Kakamega forest has provided numerous and invaluable resources to the surrounding people for hundreds of years. By the beginning of this century, the Tiriki subtribe of the Luhya had settled around the forest and were farming as much in the forest as around it. Fuel wood, grass for thatching, medicinal plants and trees, and land for grazing have been services that the forest has provided.

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

Incentives to Learn by MICHAEL KREMER, EDWARD MIGUEL, AND REBECCA THORNTON Proposals for education reform generally focus on teachers and curricula. But the most important factor in education may be the student himself or herself. A growing number of states, including Georgia, Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts, have established programs that provide financial rewards in the form of merit scholarships for college for students who perform well academically. However, such programs are controversial with some educators, and the structure of many existing programs in the United States makes it difficult to evaluate rigorously the impact of such incentive programs because it is hard to identify for comparison a credible group of students who were not eligible for the program. A Deficit of Data on Merit Scholarships Prior to our study, we had little information on the value of using scholarships as incentives to learn. One of the few existing sources of evidence in the United States is Georgia’s HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally) scholarship program, which awards college scholarships to high school students who graduate with at least a B average and attend college in-state. After the program was introduced in 1993, the average SAT score for the Peach State’s high school seniors rose almost 40 points. But since all students in the state were eligible, there was no way of determining, with a reliable degree of certainty, whether factors other than the scholarship had also contributed to the outcomes.

Kenya Physical. Kenya is located in Eastern Africa, bordering the Indian Ocean, between Tanzania and Somalia. It covers an area about twice the size of Nevada. Kenya has a tropical climate along the coast, turning increasingly arid farther inland. Low plains rise into central highlands bisected by the Great Rift Valley, with a fertile plateau in the west. Natural resources include gold, limestone, soda ash, salt barites, fluorspar, garnets, wildlife, hydropower, and rubies. People. Over 31 million people live in Kenya. Both English and Swahili are official languages of Kenya, while numerous indigenous languages are spoken as well. Ethnically, Kenya is comprised primarily of Africans (99%) including the following groups: Kikuyu (22%) Luhya (14%) Luo (13%) Kalenjin (12%) and Kamba (11%). The country's religious groups include Protestant (38%) Roman Catholic (28%) indigenous beliefs (8%) and others. Government. 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.

Comments On Africa and "Kwanzaa" By James Dearmore - gospelweb.net E-Mail Webmaster Some Parts Adapted (and enlarged) from various press reports. Printer Friendly Page. While it is true that blacks in America, (and in many other parts of the world), have in years past suffered many insults and degradations, one of the worst insults goes by the name of "Kwanzaa". It has been promoted since 1966 among the blacks of the world, and is still being pushed as a "black" substitute for Christmas. Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans. According to the official Kwanzaa Web site - - - as opposed, say, to the Hallmark Cards Kwanzaa site - - - the celebration was designed to foster "conditions that would enhance the revolutionary social change for the masses of Black Americans" and provide a "reassessment, reclaiming, recommitment, remembrance, retrieval, resumption, resurrection and rejuvenation of those principles (way of life) utilized by Black Americans' ancestors." Karenga postulated seven principles: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith, each of which gets its day during Kwanzaa week. He and his votaries also crafted a flag of black nationalism and a pledge: "We pledge allegiance to the red, black, and green, our flag, the symbol of our eternal struggle, and to the land we must obtain; one nation of black people, with one God of us all, totally united in the struggle, for black love, black freedom, and black self-determination."
