Extractions: (Wadhamini wa jumuiya ya Waswahili) "The Swahili are among the most distinctive peoples in Africa, and their coastal location is the primary reason why. It provided a setting where multiple cultural influences came together to produce a society characterized by: mercantilism based on Indian Ocean trade; town dwelling; a unique architecture using coral and stone; Islam; literacy in an African language with an Arabic script; a sense of belonging to a wider civilization; and social stratification, with ruling elites who stress their Persian and Arab lineages. Influences from southwestern Asia have clearly been significant to Swahili identity, but it is equally obvious that the Asian elements are essentially a veneer glued onto a solid Bantu African framework." James L. Newman in his recent book called THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA (Yale University Press, 1995 P. 177) The Bantu peoples are many and varied and exist in different clusters of fairly closely related tribes. According to Newman, the Swahilis constituted part of the Sabaki cluster of Northeast Coast Bantu that had formed in the Lower Tana River-Lamu Archipelago. From the original Sabaki who lived in small coastal or offshore-island villages where they could both fish and farm, some Sabaki took up a trading activity with merchants from the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf. This trade has by all accounts been going on for at least some 2000 years.

Extractions: A FRICA At the 1993 meeting of the UNWGIP and also at the 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, the MDA articulated the major problems that currently threaten Maasai culture and identity. The delegation presented testimony describing the ecological degradation of Maasailand, the lack of adequate educational facilities, Maasai displacement at the hands of competing peoples, and the misappropriation of funds earmarked for indigenous development projects. Foremost among the MDA's concerns is the desire to recover lands in Kenya's Rift Valley Province, which were lost through dispossession over the past century. Because Maasai culture is inextricably bound to the land, their concern is understandable; dispossession of territory threatens to obliterate their culture. In addition to its fear of increasing landlessness, the MDA explains that the Maasai have also been unable to achieve compensation for lands already taken from them. In particular, a great part of Maasailand was set aside for game reserves and national parks to expand Kenya's tourist economy, but to date, the Maasai have not benefitted from that development. Instead, they now face losing more land, as non-indigenous people attempt to buy it (or otherwise take it) from them. And while encroachment disrupts the cultural integrity of the Maasai, unsound farming methods used by non-indigenous peoples further upset the delicate ecological balance of the Rift Valley. The MDA claims that the unrestrained use of the herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers has polluted water sources in grazing areas.

Tools The Swahili word safari (literally, journey) wouldn't mean much to most people if it wasn't for this East African adventure land. Revered by anthropologists as the 'cradle of humanity', Kenya is also the heart of African safari country, boasting the most diverse collection of wild animals on the continent. And no matter how many Tarzan movies you've seen, nothing will prepare you for the annual mass migration of wildebeests. Unfortunately the wildlife isn't confined to the countryside: petty crime in Kenya's urban centres qualifies as one of the country's few growth industries. Since any encounter with the police is likely to end with money changing hands, you'd have less chance of being fleeced if you strapped a gazelle to your safari suit and went jogging among a pride of lions. Still, if you're a little bit brave - and a little bit sensible - Kenya promises the globe's most magnificent game parks, unsullied beaches, thriving coral reefs, memorable mountainscapes and ancient Swahili cities. Just remember to leave your Rolex at home. Full country name: Republic of Kenya

Extractions: Chapter 18 CENTRAL AND EASTERN AFRICA: KENYA, MALAWI, TANZANIA, UGANDA See Regional Taxonomic Inventory (Chapter 15) KENYA Odhiambo (1978) mentions several kinds of insects used as food in Kenya: Massam ) describes primitive beekeeping by the Elgeyo tribe in the highlands of Kenya (pp. 122‑123) and their methods of harvesting termites (pp. 123‑126). The Elgeyo live principally on the grain they grow and on the milk, blood and meat provided by their livestock, i.e., cattle, sheep and goats. Stock is practically the only form of wealth recognized or desired. Massam states that white ants and honey are distinctly luxury foods to the natives and that honey is "especially esteemed when eaten with pounded 'white ants.'" At lower elevations, termite mounds may be 20 feet high and, at the beginning of the rains, termites are an important part of the Elgeyo food supply. They are harvested soon after the rains begin by digging a hole near the base of the mound, then knocking the mound over and lighting a fire near the hole. The emerging winged termites are stupified by the smoke and fall into the hole, from which they are scooped and stuffed into leather bags to suffocate. They are then dried in the sun, the wings are removed, and the bodies pounded into a paste which is either eaten alone or with honey. Massam states that it is a very fattening food. At elevations of about 6,000 feet the termites are smaller and do not build tall mounds. They are harvested differently.
Extractions: The economy is overwhelmingly agricultural, with cassava, sweet potatoes, plantains, millet, and sorghum as the chief subsistence crops, and coffee (which provides over 90% of export revenues), cotton, tea, and tobacco are the principal cash crops. Stockraising, fishing, and hardwood production are also significant. Its natural resources include cobalt, copper, salt, and limestone. Of Uganda's 21 million people, an estimated 66 percent are Christian, 18 percent practice traditional beliefs, and 16 percent are Muslim. The Anglican and Catholic churches as well as the United Methodist Church are among the many Christian churches found in Uganda. Uganda, most of whom worship in Jinja and Busia near the border with Kenya. English is Uganda's official language. Archeology tells that prehistoric man walked the earth in what is now Uganda and many sites have been excavated that show habitation over the centuries. One of the more recent excavations is in Kiboro, near Lake Albert, where there are traces of village life going back thousands of years. Around A.D. 1100. Bantu-speaking people migrated into the area that is now Uganda, and by the 14th century they were organized into several independent kingdoms. The most powerful of these were Bunyoro (16th-17th cent.) and later Buganda (18th-19th cent.). In 1962 Uganda gained independence under a federal constitution that gave Buganda a large measure of autonomy.

Extractions: Language: English is an official language and is widely used for business and Government purposes. Kiswahili (also called Swahili) is the other official language and its use is promoted to encourage national unity. It was chosen as an official language because of its wide use within the country and because it shares linguistic roots with other Bantu languages spoken in Kenya-it is accessible to a major portion of the population. Most Kenyans speak the language or dialect of their ethnic group as well as Kiswahili and - except in remote areas - some English is also spoken.
