Extractions: Some Parts Adapted (and enlarged) from various press reports. 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. 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."

Extractions: Background Revered president and liberation struggle icon Jomo KENYATTA led Kenya from independence until his death in 1978, when current President Daniel Toroitich arap MOI took power in a constitutional succession. 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. The country faces a period of political uncertainty because MOI is constitutionally required to step down at the next elections that have to be held by early 2003.

Its coast is lapped by the Indian Ocean and it shares the vast waters of Lake Victoria with its western and southern neighbours. The Rift Valley and Central Highlands area form the backbone of the country, and this is where Kenya's scenery is at its most spectacular. The humid coastal belt includes the Tana River estuary and a string of good beaches. Western Kenya takes in the fertile fringes of Lake Victoria and, with the southern part of the country, some prime wildlife parks. The vast, arid northen region is where Kenya is at its wildest and most untouched by the modern world. Kenya's climate varies enormously from place to place. The Rift Valley offers the most agreeable weather, while the arid bushlands and semi-desert regions can range from daytime highs of up to 40° Celsius to lows of about 20° Celsius at night. Western Kenya and the eastern coastal fringe are generally hot and humid year-round. FAST FACTS Full Country Name: Republic of Kenya Area: 583,000 sq km

Extractions: [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.
Extractions: NEWSfromAFRICA was started on 15 April 1996. It was the first electronicnews bulletin in Africa. called AFRICANEWS. In October 2003, since many others were using Africanews as a title for their homepage or bullettin, it was decided to change it to NEWSfromAFRICA. This title reflects better the fact that the sources of the news and the publication are in Africa. NEWSfromAFRICA, like its predecessor AFRICANEWS, is published regularly on the 15th of every month. It is the initiative of Koinonia Community, a lay Christian organisation registered in Nairobi (Kenya). NEWSfromAFRICA focuses its attention on: fostering justice, peace making and peace keeping, reconciliation, emancipation of women, ecology, modernity and tradition, poverty and development, through the use of New Information Communication Technologies(ICTs) In particular, NEWSfromAFRICA makes its own preferential option for the poor. All news and their analyses are given from the perspective of the African grassroots people, their struggle for freedom, dignity and justice.

Let us approach the question from another direction. Our President is called Kibaki.

Extractions: Constitutional Review Process When I was in Kenya in early October, there were an amazing number of groups pressing the government to continue the "people-driven" proposal for constitutional review. Muslims, Hindus, Law Society, catholics and protestants and indigenous churches (except AIC) had a common theme. Demonstrations and prayer vigils outside parliament were held, because the government was taking the process back inside parliament, which the people didn't trust. Moi said the people didn't understand constitutions and so couldn't contribute. Jim Kirkwood NAIROBI (AANA) October 25 Kenya Catholic bishops, perturbed by the seeming nonchalance of President Daniel arap Moi's regime to undertake substantive reforms, have launched a relentless campaign for a people driven Constitution. They issued an elaborate pastoral letter here on October 17 in which they accused the ruling political party, KANU, for deviating the path towards reforms by making unreasonable demands regarding representation in the Constitutional review process.
Extractions: History - Kenya is the heart of African safari country, boasting the most diverse collection of wild animals on the continent. The first of many genuinely human footprints to be stamped on Kenyan soil were left way back in 2000 BC by Nomadic Cushitic Tribes from Ethiopia. A second group followed around 1000 BC and occupied much of central Kenya. The rest of the ancestors of the country's medley of tribes arrived from all over the continent between 500 BC and AD 500. Drawn by the whiff of spices and money, the Portuguese started sniffing around in the 15th century. 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. The remainder of the 18th century saw the Omani dynasties from the Persian Gulf dug in along the East African coast. Europeans suddenly tramping all over Africa in search of fame and fortune, even Kenya's intimidating interior was forced to give up its secrets to outsiders. It was downhill from here for the Maasai. As white settlers demanded more fertile land, the Maasai were herded into smaller reserves. The Kikuyu, a Bantu agricultural tribe from the highlands west of Mt Kenya, also had vast tracts of land ripped from under their feet.

Extractions: BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... KENYA Kenya has a very diverse population that includes most major language groups of Africa. Traditional pastoralists, rural farmers, Muslims, and urban residents of Nairobi and other cities contribute to the cosmopolitan culture. The standard of living in major cities, once relatively high compared to much of Sub-Saharan Africa, has been declining in recent years. Most city workers retain links with their rural, extended families and leave the city periodically to help work on the family farm. About 75% of the work force is engaged in agriculture, mainly as subsistence farmers. The urban sector employs 0.9 million people. POPULATION GRAPH Population: note: estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (July 2002 est.)

Extractions: Election observers concluded that the presidential and parliamentary elections in December 2002 broadly reflected the popular will and was free and fair. For the first time since independence in 1963, the Kenya African National Union (KANU) lost the presidency and the majority of seats in Parliament. Daniel Arap Moi who along with Kenyatta were the only two presidents in power since independence, was finally forced to hand over power to Mwai Kibaki, leader of the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC), a group of opposition political parties and former KANU leaders. The transfer of power is generally expected to have created political conditions conducive to large-scale resettlement programmes and return movements (US DOS, 24 June 2003). Although cattle rustling, urban disturbances and official eviction all caused some displacement, it is widely recognized that it was the introduction of multiparty politics in the 1990s that was the main trigger for the major displacements throughout the decade. These displacements were often violent, with more than 4,000 people being killed as they took place. The major periods of violence and displacement centered around the 1992 and 1997 elections. The main perpetrators of the violence in both these elections were predominantly Kelenjin supporters of the KANU government against members of opposition groups. However, the Kikuyus who were the main victims of the violence related to the elections in 1992 had by the 1997 elections managed to organize and fight back (Article 19, December 1998, sect 1).
