Kenya's Indigenous Honey Hunters Lose Their Forest Home RELAYED TEXT STARTS HERE: Title: Kenya's Indigenous Honey Hunters Lose Their Forest Home Source: (c) Environment News Service (ENS) 2000. All Rights Reserved Date: March 24, 2000 By: Tervil Okoko NAIROBI, Kenya, March 24, 2000 (ENS) - The Ogiek people of Kenya's central Rift Valley have lost a legal battle over their habitat and heritage. A Kenyan court handed down a ruling today that the judges characterized as benefitting the environment after the indigenous community sought to block a government eviction order to remove them from a natural forest. The high court, sitting in Nairobi, dismissed the lawsuit that has been going on since May 1999. "The eviction is for the purpose of saving the whole Kenya from a possible environmental disaster and it is being carried out for the common good within the statutory powers," judges Samuel Oguk and Richard Kuloba said in their summary of judgment. The judges said their verdict was aimed at people who have made homes in forests and are exploiting forest resources without following the statutory requirements. Yet the Ogiek have alternative land that was given to them in the colonial days, land which is not inhospitable, the judges said. The Ogiek, about 5,000 families, are officially referred to in Kenya as Dorobo. They are a hunting and honey gathering community who mainly farm bees in the 100 mile-long Mau highland forest along the Western escarpment of the great Rift Valley in Molo South, Nakuru District. Some are engaged in subsistence farming or livestock rearing.

RELAYED TEXT STARTS HERE: Title: Judges Rule In Favour Of Environment Date: March 27, 2000 Byline: Tervil Okoko; PANA Correspondent Undeterred by unruly status quo and modernity, the Ogiek people of Kenya have fought a losing legal battle over their habitat and heritage as a court ruled in favour of the environment. Identifiable by the traditional regalia of skin-wrapper and a handy club, the Ogiek people are a minority living in the expansive enclave of the central Rift Valley. They still stick to their traditional way of life and regard natural forests as their habitat. Caught between a cultural conflict and political imbalances brought about by modernity and civilisation, the Ogiek, officially referred to in Kenya as Dorobo, took the Kenya government to court for evicting them from their land in 1999. However, the high court, sitting in Nairobi, Thursday dismissed the protracted suit, saying it was for the benefit of the environment. "The eviction is for the purpose of saving the whole of Kenya from a possible environmental disaster and it is being carried out for the common good within the statutory powers," judges Samuel Oguk and Richard Kuloba said. They added that their verdict was aimed at people who have made homes in forests and are exploiting its resources without following the statutory requirements, yet they have alternative land given to them since the colonial days, which is not shown to be inhospitable.

HUSSEIN Plant Protection Dept., Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Assiut, Égypt Abstract Introduction In Africa, temperatures are high in certain Northern Tropical Zones, how-ever, they are modified by the height of the mountains of East Africa. About 10% only of the total world population is found in Africa. The greatest populations are found in Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt and near the East African lakes. Of the total area of Africa, 20% is covered by forests and 40% by savannas, while the rest 40%, forms the desert. The agriculture includes palm-oil, ground-nuts, cocoa, cotton and rubber. The areas with a Mediterranean climate produce grapes, oranges and other fruits and vegetables. East African Nations export tremendous quantities wax. Ethiopia and Tanzania produce about 2.5% and 1.15% of total world honey production, respectively. Keeping bees in beehives as practised in Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, is not well known in other part of Africa[8]. Research Work The area of North Africa contain the cradle of the craft of beekeeping, pic-torial records in Egypt exist from 2400 BC onwards. Bees have been studied in Egypt to a much greater extent than elsewhere in North Africa (Table I). More re-search in East Africa was in Tanzania, in Ethiopia in North-East Africa and in Nige-ria, Senegal, in West Africa[32].

African Unification Front HOME ORGANOGRAM AUF IDEOLOGY AUF LEADERSHIP ... URGENT ACTION ALERT printable version FLAWED ETHNIC CLASSIFICATIONS EXCERBATE CONFLICT IN AFRICA QUESTIONABLE AND DESCREDITED COLONIAL MYTHS LEGACY OF DEADLY ANTHROPOLOGY Africa's most violent large scale conflicts manifest a virulent misinterpretation of group consciousness constructed along lines of colonial classification of African ethnicity. The classification divides Africans into three groups, Hamite, Bantu, and Nilote. This is a devastating racial coding based on erroneous assumptions advanced by racial supremacists and misguided scholars. A tribe in cultural anthropology, is a theoretical type of human social organization based on small groups defined by traditions of common descent and having temporary or permanent political integration above the family level and a shared language, culture, and ideology. In the ideal model of a tribe, members typically share a tribal name and a contiguous territory; they work together in such joint endeavours as trade, agriculture, house construction, warfare, and ceremonial activities. Tribes are usually composed of a number of smaller local communities (e.g., bands, villages, or neighborhoods) and may be aggregated into higher-order clusters, called nations. As an ideal type, the tribe is regarded by cultural evolutionists as the form of social organization that developed into a stratified society and, eventually, into the type of social organization known as the primitive state. As an ideal type, the tribe derives its unity not from a territorial identity but from a sense of extended kinship.

Massing The Wangara, an Old Soninke Diaspora in West Africa? Résumé Les Wangara, une vieille diaspora soninke d'Afrique de l'Ouest ? Abstract The Wangara are a central element of a Soninke diaspora and go back for centuries in history, namely to the Soninke kingdom of Ghana. They were known as Wakoré, who probably obtained royal trade privileges. Certain groups holding the imamates in key settlements such as the Sa(gha)nogo, Kamaghaté, Diaba(gha)té, Timité, Cissé- Haidara, Fofana and Bagayogo are of Soninke origin, but other people identify themselves with them claiming "Wangara" status. Certain identity markers remain stable over the centuries: long-distance trade in precious commodities, Moslem, scholars and imams; the ethnic groups identified with them do shift and are often not Mande but assimilated to their group identity aspiring to integration in the trade network: Bambara, Bobo, Senoufo, Songhay, Hausa, Gonja and others. Texte intégral M ore than a decade ago an article of mine on the Mande diaspora on the Malagueta coast and Sierra Leone appeared in this journal (Massing 1985). Inspired since then by the Mande colonies further to the east, in Burkina Faso, Ghana and the Ivory Coast, I have investigated some of the older elements, neglected then, which have played an important role in the history and diaspora of the Western Sudan and were important in the exchange between the Guinea coast and the Sahel, and attempted to clarify their identity and context. While Dupuis (1966), Wilks (1982, 1995), Lovejoy (1978), Fuglestead (1978), Law (1995) and others have dealt with the Wangara in specific contexts, namely the trade in Hausaland in the 16th century or in the Mande-Akan borderland in the 19th century

Dorobo Fund for Tanzania H ome Planet Exploration is proudly associated with the Dorobo Fund for Tanzania and all of our Safaris in East Africa are in coordination with the Dorobo Fund and its projects. Proceeds from every client go into the Dorobo Fund, because all wilderness excursions are at some time within Dorobo project areas. The Dorobo project started out small, as any vision does. Dorobo is now significantly larger but goals are still the same: Helping indigenous peoples confront the modern age while preserving their land resource as wilderness. Home Planet Exploration is actively involved with the Dorobo Fund projects through its operations, proceeds, and staff participation. The Dorobo Fund and its vital cause are the driving force behind our partnership and contributions. D orobo is a collective name for hunter gatherer peoples of mixed ethnic background found in remnant groups scattered throughout both the Kenyan and Tanzanian Maasailand. It is believed that before the migration of the Bantu, as well as, Cushite and Nilo-Hamitic pastoralist, the land was sparsely populated by clans of hunter gatherers. These early bands of people were gradually pushed out by the overpowering intruders, but were able to coexist in some regions of their former territory. A ll Dorobo, regardless of ethnic background , have been culturally influenced in varying degrees by the stronger and more dominant Maasai culture. For example, most Dorobo have lost their language, now speaking only Maa. They live as Maasai live, within the Maasai Kraal. In many ways the Dorobo have become culturally part of the Maasai people, providing honey for their beer, and performing the circumcision rituals on males. The future of these Dorobo is quite clear; they are becoming Maasai. Further south however, where Maasai expansion occurred later, there are groups of Akie Dorobo who still speak their own language, but only in private and among themselves. These clans of indigenous peoples are truly living beyond the realms of time and inherently bring value to all humanity.
