Majority population Population count Kenya's Population Kenya's population agglomerates tribes, cultures, religions and languages. According to what we know today, the country's human map was started 6,000 years ago, when the native inhabitants of this land were first invaded by the northern Nilotic and Cushite peoples. Then came the Bantus, followed by the Arabs, Asians, Europeans... The skin colors of the Kenyans cover all the range of clears and darks. The nearly 30 million Kenyans are distributed in a very uneven way throughout the country, given that the north and northeast regions are arid and little hospitable for human settling. In this regions, population density hardly reaches 2 inhabitants per sq km, whereas in the rich and fertile western the rate rises to 120 inhabitants per sq km. In the Rift Valley, density varies among areas, with an average around 13 inhabitants per sq km.

JALUO dot KOM Od Wadu Succession debate in Kenya By Jaluo dot Kom correspondents In Kenya every second news headline or radio news summary means a lot to the ordinary Kenyan since the succession debate started heating up, Moi on his side is for Uhuru as his preferred candidate to be flag bearer, on the other hand Rainbow Alliance is pushing for a “free and fair” nomination process. On the other hand Moi is pushing for FLEE and FLAIR. Above all the ball is still rolling on the New Kanu side; the brave ones are fighting ahead though the cowards are twisting their tails between their thighs to adore Mutukufu Rais with his false promises. In every game there are losers and winners; but in this case the losers are the heroes for democracy; they are, JJ Kamotho, Prof. George Saitoti, Omulo Fred Gumo and Odoyo Peter. These are the key allies of the Secretary General Hon. Amolo Odinga. The cowards are the winners and the deadly pest, which will kill our sovereignty as a free state. The few greedy individuals are benefiting from the current state of confusion. Below are opinions from the public: HAVE WE REALLY EMBRACED PLURALISM By Dr. Carey F. Onyango

Encyclopedia of World Cultures by David Levinson Read more about the editor Table of Contents Excerpt from ... Back to main page for this title by David Levinson The idea seemed simple enough back in 1988: we would put together in one publication summaries of all the ethnic groups of the world. A couple of years, three or four volumes - not so difficult. When the final volumes were published in 1996, the project had taken six years and the summaries of ethnic groups filled nine large volumes, with a tenth volume devoted to indexes. It contained work from nearly 1000 contributors in 52 nations. There were over 2,500 articles - some 300 of which had been translated into English from a variety of languages. By any estimate, this was a challenging publishing project and completing it within six years something of a miracle. How did we do it? First, we recruited a board of editors - anthropologists who knew their regions of the world well, whose own work was respected by their colleagues, and who were well-connected in the scholarly network. These editors did an amazing job in pulling together material never before available in English. They provided authoritative lists of ethnic groups to be covered, recommended scholars to write the articles, and reviewed manuscripts for accuracy of content and relevance to this particular work. They deserve great thanks for the work they did.

Kenya Introduction: Straddling the Equator on the east coast of Africa, Kenya is one of the most scenically diverse and beautiful countries on the continent, and home to the nomadic Masai and Samburu, the Kikuyu farmers and coastal Swahili tribal peoples. Kenya has two major cities, the high altitude colonial-built capital, Nairobi and the ancient Swahili trading port of Mombasa. But what really draws the tourists is the great outdoors. This is a place for sunbathing, hiking, climbing, diving, or riding. Above all, it is a place for safaris. The scenery is fabulous - from the indigo sea and white sand beaches to the grey-green rolling bushveld of Tsavo and Amboseli. The rippling golden grasslands of the Masai Mara contrast with the seismic scar of the Great Rift Valley and the desolate volcanic wastelands around northern Lake Turkana. And everywhere, the game-viewing is unsurpassed, with elephants, lions, giraffe, rhino and a host of other animals joined by hundred of species of glitter-winged birds. However, Kenya is by no means perfect. Corruption riddles the land, the crime rate is high and malaria and AIDS are rife. But despite this, the people are friendly, and the tourist trade is supremely well-organised and professional. For those in search of a little adventure, this can be an ideal holiday destination.

Media Development archive Subscription form Advocacy and Studies ... issue 4 1997 Kenyan Religious Media Demise of' 'feature' level media production When church related media agencies were run by mission groups, the majority of production revenue was generated outside the country. Producer Paul Nduoti, the sole remnant of Afromedia Christian Productions, notes the difficulty of continuing productions on the former scale after missionary staff cutbacks and retirements. 'We are finding it very difficult because before we did it from our own [mission] resources.' Afromedia was originally the partnership of four agencies including African Inland Mission, World Gospel Mission, Baptist Communications Centre and Emmaus Bible School. It produced one major film Checkpoint, in addition to a sustained effort in television programming for Kenyan children. This ecumenical effort was somewhat short-lived and eventually the agency was turned over to a self-perpetuating board who without strong foreign support have struggled maintaining any original production.1 As the mission agencies saw the task of proclamation being completed they began to dissipate with the media arm - often the first appendage to shrivel and die. As this happened, the ecumenical pool of financial and human televisual resources began drying up and the ability to assert a popular or broadcast Christian voice was lost.

History Historical Setting Books - subdivided into history and economy and politics Historical Setting [General Background] The Peopling of the Interior The Kenya Coast The Portuguese Presence ... The Omani Hegemony [General Background] The history of Kenya as a political entity began with the region's inclusion in the British sphere of influence in the late nineteenth century and the subsequent establishment of a British protectorate and colony there. The British brought together the country's diverse elements under a unified administration and bestowed on it the name Kenya after the 5,200-meter peak in the central highlands that the Kikuyu called kere nyaga, the "mountain of whiteness." Improvement in the lot of the average African was limited until after World War II when political movements, like that among the Kikuyu led by Jomo Kenyatta, demanded a role for the black majority in Kenya's government. The determination of the European community to retain exclusive control in a "White Man's Country" and the continued denial of African rights set off a violent reaction during the Mau Mau emergency in the 1950s. The Kikuyu-led insurrection was suppressed, and the lengthy imprisonment of Kenyatta and other African leaders suspected of complicity in it caused a hiatus in organized African political activity until 1960, when the campaign for majority rule within the framework of the colonial regime succeeded in submerging ethnic differences among Africans and in winning the recognition of British authorities.

HISTORY OGIEK ECOLOGY Honey is sold or traded to the Maasai who use it primarily for making honey wine, but also as an essential ritual substance mixed with milk. In fact, the Maasai say they cannot hold a ceremony without honey for this purpose. Thus the Maasai are dependent on the Ogieks, whom they disdain, for one of their most important ritual substances . For this reason, but more frequently for the reason of wanting honey for making an alcoholic beverage, Maasai individuals establish friendships of convenience with individual Ogiek for getting honey and, to some extent, article which the Ogieks are useful to the Maasai. OGIEK PHYSICAL TYPE Despite the current trend in physical anthropology against serious consideration of racial differences, based on appearance only, the mere lack of ability to measure observable differences does not detract from the possible significance of this kind of datum. In the case of the Ogieks, I would suggest the probability that they have received some genes from at least one population different from their neigbours.
