SLRK Profiles Menu Strategy Leader Resource Kit Home People Profile The Borana of Kenya Religion : Islam and Local Tradition Population Status : 10% Christian NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The Borana are part of a very much larger group of about 4 to 5 million persons of whom approximately 90,000 live in north central Kenya with the balance in Ethiopia. They are related to the Oromo in Somalia also. They live in a large area of barren northern Kenya. About 44% of the Kenya Borana live in Marsabit District, into Tana River District, Garissa District and in Moyale District. The heaviest concentration live in the Sololo area of Marsabit District and in Moyale District. Those in Isiolo District are concentrated in Merti and Garba Tula. History: The Borana are one of the resulting groups of Oromo migrants who left the southern highlands of Ethiopia in the 1500's. Most of the Borana and related peoples live in Ethiopia. The Oromo had migrated east but were pushed back by the Somali leading to a greater southern expansion. There are almost 4 million Borana people, most living in Ethiopia. Identity: The word spelled Borana is pronounced with the final vowel silent. It refers to the people or their language and also means friend or kind person. Thus, a bad person may be told he is not Borana.

Matthew 24: 14; Matthew 28: 19 In the last days, prophecy predicts the spread of this gospel. And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. - Revelation 14: 6. We have several barriers to meeting this challenge. But God is providing a way to meet them. Language - With over 6,500 languages the task seems impossible. Each aspect of a language poses a unique set of problems. This confines us to producing material by population size. Spoken Language - There is a problem with dialects, pronounciation and the availability of qualified people to teach the gospel. Also, a single written word can have several meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce the word.

49. NEVER AGAIN! -- Report From Kenya groups who do not have an indigenous church of amongst three large Muslim groups the borana, Bajun and come together to reach the unreached peoples of Kenya http://www.ad2000.org/re71208.htm

NEVER AGAIN! Report from Kenya Finish the Task 2000 By Ross Campbell Dec 4, 1997 NEVER AGAIN! In reporting on the impact of the African National Initiatives Consultation in Nairobi early November, Dr Kabachia said, "When the Kenya delegation were confronted by lists of unreached peoples in Kenya, they determined that never again would a Kenyan delegation attend a global consultation to be embarrassed by such lists." He went on to say, "Before the next consultation in the year 2000, every people group in Kenya will be penetrated." Since GCOWE '97, the Kenya delegation of 80-plus leaders has moved decisively forward to give substance to their declaration. In a series of three one-day seminars, GCOWE delegates have met, discussed, decided and acted to implement an exciting plan to see a church established amongst every people group in Kenya by the year 2000. At the October seminar delegates endorsed the Steering Committee's choice of name for the initiative - 'Finish the Task 2000'. Dr Kabachia, chairman of the initiative, explains, "'Finish the Task 2000' is not a general statement, but a specific goal." He said, " There is no way that we can ever be sure that we have completed the job of preaching the gospel to everyone. When it seems that everyone has heard, there will always be someone coming to the age of accountability who will not have heard. What we are talking about are people groups who do not have an indigenous church of their own." In describing the operating style of the Kenya initiative Dr Kabachia explained that, from the outset, the aim has been to encourage wide and active participation by all. He said, "We want 'Finishing the Task 2000' to be idea-friendly and open to all." He went on to explain, "We want everyone to feel this is 'our' thing. Not an 'us' and 'them' thing."

Accommodation KENYA Visitors to Kenya can enjoy game viewing, birdwatching, hot-air ballooning, mountaineering, scuba diving, freshwater and deep-sea fishing, and numerous other activities. Kenya is well known for the magnificent Serengeti Migration (shared with Tanzania) of more than one million wildebeest and zebra in the Masai Mara and for the colorful Masai, Samburu and other tribes that contribute so much to making this a top safari destination. The eastern and northern regions of the country are arid. Most of the population and economic production are in the south, which is characterized by a plateau that ranges in altitude from 3,000 to 10,000 feet (915 to 3,050 m), sloping down to Lake Victoria in the west and to a coastal strip to the east. Over half the country is Christian, although many people still retain their indigenous beliefs. There is a Muslim population concentrated along the coast. The Masai are found mainly to the south of Nairobi, the Kikuyu in the highlands around Nairobi, the Samburu in the arid north, and the Luo around Lake Victoria.

Arid Land and the Role of Pastoral Nomads in the Economic and Political Integration of the Horn of Africa with Particular Reference to Ethiopia By Dr. Fecadu Gadamu Table of Contents Introduction Size and Component of Arid Land and Population in Ethiopia Land Tenure System Empowerment ... Publications Received by EIIPD Introduction Arid land is a large component of the land resources of the Horn of Africa and this is used by pastoral nomadic peoples. Our main concern is both for the viability of the peoples and sustainability of the environment. There are a number of factors which compel us to consider the sub-region and the nomadic peoples as a unit and the fact that the solutions to their problems are interdependent. However, this paper is primarily concerned with the way in which national perception, political systems, and developmental policies are influential factors in the sustainable use of arid land by pastoralists in Ethiopia as a point of departure. Size and Component of Arid Land and Population in Ethiopia Arid and semi-arid land is a large component of Ethiopia. To give a precise number of Ethiopia and Eritrea, arid and semi-arid land constituted 61%.

THE BORANA OF KENYA The Borana of Kenya were not considered a separate people group until the beginning of the twentieth century. Before that time they were a part of a larger group of people called the Oromo. The Oromo belong to an ancient people known as the Cushites. The exact origin of the Cushites is not certain, but are believed to have come from the ancient Egyptians. Oromo is believed to be the second-largest indigenous language in Africa. It is estimated that 25 to 30 million people speak the Oromo language. The land of the Oromo people stretches from the Red Sea in northern Ethiopia to Mombasa in Kenya, on the Indian Ocean to the south. It includes parts of Somalia to the east and goes all the way to the borders of Sudan to the west. There are about 300,000 Borana people who live in Kenya, but in Kenya and Ethiopia together there is an estimated 1,000,000 Borana people. The traditional religious belief of the Borana is that the world was created by one high God, whom they call Waaqa (wah-kah) Tokkicha- "the one god".
