Consistent Clash Intertwined within Kenyan Government and Civilians

During the time period 1850-1914, even though Britain imperializing, Kenya was, in turn, very beneficial for the inhabitants of Kenya. However, the direct rule of Britain put Kenya through a massive transition from being independent to being colonial dominant, in which the natives of Kenya had lesser rights than did before and were treated inhumanely. Before being imperialized, Kenya was already divided into forty-two tribes. The two main kinfolks to be known are the Masai and the Kikuyu. These tribes helped in making the country's diversity, rich culture and heritage. Nonetheless, Kenya didn’t have much global contact; however, they did trade with the Arab merchants but kept it limited because they wanted to preserve their traditional

The British colonization of Kenya destroyed the culture and economy of the native people, but it established a democratic government and left Kenya a more modernized country.[1] During the 1880’s through 1914, the start of WWI, was an age of imperialism. One place that felt victim to this imperialism was Africa. At this time Africa was a wholly unmodernized continent. The reason the Europeans went after Africa was the introduction of the idea of social Darwinism and the “white man’s burden”. Social Darwinism is the belief that only the strongest and the most cunning can make it to the top of the social ladder, and it was the White Man’s Burden to step in for these undeveloped countries

The Somali Civil War, which has lasted from 1991 to the present, spurned a migration of Somali refugees from their home country, which is still at war today in 2017, to the United States of America. Between 1980 and 2014, over 9,500 Africans immigrated to Colorado, and from 2000 to 2010, over 2,200 of these refugees arrived from Somalia. With this significant influx of refugees from Somalia in recent years, the issue of relations between Somali immigrants and the dominant group in Colorado, white citizens, has been addressed in different ways. The subject of this study is one particular town in Colorado called Ft. Morgan. The interactions between the two social groups in question might suggest that the nature of the relationship between Somali immigrants and natives of Ft. Morgan is an assimilation.

In order to explain the significance of women during the Kenyan Emergency of the 1950’s, Millicent Whitemore composed a powerful argument that highlighted the importance that women played in the Mau Mau Movement against the British colonial government. By contrasting the traditional views of women with the critical roles they played during the conflict, Whitemore showed just how incredibly important women were in the Movement. With the use of an abundance of sources and firsthand accounts, Whitemore created not only a credible and valid argument, but also a more convincing and persuading one as well. As such, the author has developed and formed an effective argument highlighting the importance of women during the Mau Mau movement with the strong

On December 12, 1963, the British lost to the Kenyans, and major rally was held at Uhuru Park which is where the british flag brought down. For the first time, Kenya’s flag was raised. A mugumo tree was planted to symbol the transfer of power and leadership from the colonialists to Kenyans. Jomo Kenyatta, who was the first president of Kenya, was inaugurated at the park making it an important heritage site and resulting in it being declared a national monument in 1966. A 24-meter high monument was constructed at the park to commemorate Kenya’s struggle for independence to mark and keep its importance. There is also a statue of freedom fighters raising the Kenyan flag and another monument with a fountain standing 100 meters away.

The East Africa Protectorate was first colonized by British settlers in 1895 and with the creation of the treaty of Versailles in 1920 it officially came under British control as the colony of Kenya. The people of Kenya were never content with having the white settlers take their land from them and continuously expressed their thoughts. However, Kenya wouldn’t become an independent nation until December 12, 1963. Kenya’s road to independence was filled with oppression and disappointment. There were many separate attempts to lead Kenya to freedom, but all of them failed to reach their goals. The Mau-Mau Rebellion was the final straw for colonialism in Kenya and the natives’ last push for independence. The

It was in Nairobi that he became involved in early African protest movements and joined the Kikuyu Central Association (KCA) in 1924. First Pan Kenyan nationalist movement was led by Harry Thuku to protest the white settler dominance in the government. His party, the east African Association, traced it’s roots to the early Kikuyu political groups and was supported by several influential and militant Asians. Thuku was arrested by the colonial authorities in 1922 and was exiled for 7 years. His arrest resulted in the massacre of 23 Africans outside Nairobi’s police station. He was released only after agreeing to cooperate with the colonials, a decision that cost him the leadership of the Kikuyus. This incident united Kenya’s African communities and set the stage for the entry of Jomo Kenyatta, who stepped in and filled the leadership after Thuku.

The novel attempts to refute these claims by proving that Mau Mau is a politically motivated one which transcends tribal boundaries in Kenya. Ngugi, a Kikuyu writer, concentrates on the plight of the Kenyan population during these troubles. In surveying the writing of the history by the colonizer's lens that escape and exclude the innocence descriptions of Mau Mau, it is clear the limited of colonial perspective in its scope; though this is not necessary a negative trait, it does not offer anything by way of the colonized, but by using the history of the Mau Mau resistance as a framework for the novel, Ngugi rejects the colonizer’s claim that Mau Mau movement was purely evil and its adherents are mere terrorists and primitive savages driven by bloodthirsty. For that Ngugi offers an oppressed perspective from the ground, for instance, in A Grain of Wheat, Mau Mau is a band of freedom fighters and Kihika, the local leader, who promotes a perception of a noble cause against oppression rather than a brutal terrorising campaign. In this regard, Neil Lazarus states that the nationalist movements which aim to liberate the colonized, the downtrodden are usually categorized as “the rubrics of atavism, anarchy, irrationality, and power-mongering” (69). This false portrayal of Mau Mau resistance aims at breaking the national solidarity against foreign domination. In this aspect, Lonsdale argues that: “ (Mau Mau) has lived in British memory as a symbol of African savagery, and modern Kenyans are divided by its images, militant nationalism or tribalist thuggery” (37). In other words, Mau Mau movement is depicted as a heroic revolution against colonial oppression and not an act of native African savagery as misrepresented in the colonial texts. Thus, By using history as a framework, Ngugi deliberately counters the myth fostered by colonialism that the Mau Mau

Studies claim that the Kenyan Police Force lacks the capacity to investigate and prosecute criminal cases. It was cited that many cases are pending in court due to lack of evidence by police officers over the arrested criminals. Consequently, this explains the negative perceptions by local communities against the police unprofessionalism, which create a significant information sharing gap between the police officers and the members of the community; thus, deterring the efficacy of de-radicalization initiatives.

When it dawned on the Kenyan government that the intervention of the ICC was real, the government though divided, immediately began pushing for the deferral of the investigations. On February 2011, in a memo titled “Kenya’s Reform Agenda and Engagement with the International Criminal Court (ICC)”, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Kenya forwarded to all Permanent and Observer Missions to the United Nations regarding seeking to justify the government’s case for deferral ahead of any consideration of the matter by the UNSC. On 4th March 2011, the mission formally wrote to the President of the UNSC requesting under Article 16 for deferral of the investigation opened by OTP. However, as will be extensively discussed in chapter three of this study, this request was seen by some quarters as a ploy of shielding the alleged suspects against potential prosecution at the ICC.

In December of 2007 to February of 2008, Kenya experienced ethnic violence triggered by a disputed presidential election held on 27 December 2007, over 1000 individuals were killed and 600,000 were displaced during post-election violence. The opponent’s supporters of the new president, protested saying that he had won due to election manipulation, the countries citizens went on a violent rampage killing Kikuyus, the country’s largest ethnic group.  This is significant to global health because more than half a million people were displaced from their villages, homes and their way of life, getting uprooted due to violence especially those on Antiretroviral therapy for HIV which depends on continuous access to medications during those months was impossible. The main topics I will talk about in the essay will be the violence the country went through and the health effects on its citizens.

The 2007 general elections in Kenya was a watershed event in the history of the country. Unprecedented violence broke out in many parts of the country immediately Mwai Kibaki of the Party of National Unity (PNU) was declared the winner of the presidential poll and sworn in on 30th December 2007. The violence escalated as the leader of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Raila Odinga, immediately rejected the outcome of the poll. Such violence had never occurred in Kenya before and it had devastating consequences. The violence, commonly referred to as Post-Election Violence (PEV), continued for the next 14 days after Kibaki was declared the winner and according to the Commission of Inquiry into Post-Election Violence report (CIPEV or WAKI report), it led to 1,133 deaths, rape of approximately 3,000 women, severe injuries to 3,561 persons, massive destruction of both government and private property and displacement of over 300,000 people. Kenya had not experienced violence of such gravity before as previous ethnic clashes documented by the Akiwumi Commission which was commissioned in 1998 and the report released in 2002.
