As yet another Martyrs’ Day (Nov 30) comes around, it sets us thinking: who are the people who Ishould be serving the country? Police force operations require highly specialised skills, but in everyday life, who should give first-aid in a mishap, or keep an eye on suspicious activities in a residential area, or step in to calm down neighbours whose dispute is about to turn violent? We could call the police. But with some training, we could also deal with these ourselves, taking some of the load off the patrol officers. That’s the precise idea behind ‘We Are All Police’, an initiative to create a civilian police force that’s ‘We Are All being rolled out in Abu Dhabi, to be followed in the other emirates.

  • Moorings: Indian Ocean Trade and the State in East Africa
    MOORINGS: INDIAN OCEAN TRADE AND THE STATE IN EAST AFRICA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Nidhi Mahajan August 2015 © 2015 Nidhi Mahajan MOORINGS: INDIAN OCEAN TRADE AND THE STATE IN EAST AFRICA Nidhi Mahajan, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 Ever since the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, especially post - 9/11 and the “War on Terror,” the Kenyan coast and the Indian Ocean beyond have become flashpoints for national and international security. The predominantly Muslim sailors, merchants, and residents of the coast, with transnational links to Somalia, the Middle East, and South Asia have increasingly become the object of suspicion. Governments and media alike assume that these longstanding transnational linkages, especially in the historical sailing vessel or dhow trade, are entwined with networks of terror. This study argues that these contemporary security concerns gesture to an anxiety over the coast’s long history of trade and social relations across the Indian Ocean and inland Africa. At the heart of these tensions are competing notions of sovereignty and territoriality, as sovereign nation-states attempt to regulate and control trades that have historically implicated polities that operated on a loose, shared, and layered notion of sovereignty and an “itinerant territoriality.” Based on over twenty-two months of archival and ethnographic research in Kenya and India, this dissertation examines state attempts to regulate Indian Ocean trade, and the manner in which participants in these trades maneuver regulatory regimes.

  • Santo Antonio De Tanna
    A 17th-Century Portuguese East Indiaman: the Santo Antonio de Tanna During field seasons held between 1976 and 1981, the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the National Museums of Kenya jointly excavated a shipwreck in the Old Harbor of Mombasa, Kenya. The wreck has been identified as that of a Portuguese East Indiaman, the Santo Antonio de Tanna, which sank in 1697. Archival research has shown that this vessel was built at Bassein, near Goa on the west coast of India, and commissioned in 1681. In 1696 she was sent out to the relief of the Portuguese stronghold, Fort Jesus, in Mombasa on the East African coast. The fortress was besieged by an Arab force from Oman. After several attempts to supply and relieve the fort the Santo Antonio de Tanna was sunk, disastrously for the Portu­ guese who could ill afford the loss of either Fort Jesus or the Santo Antonio de Tanna. Conservation has continued in Fort Jesus since excavation ceased, and a number of studies of the artifacts have been made. The armament assemblage and the rigging components have provided material for two master's degree theses. A preliminary review of the ceramics has been published, and several artifact groups have been described in preliminary papers. As archaeologists have begun work on the final publication of the Mombasa Harbor Wreck it seems suitable to review in this issue of the INA Newsletter some of the research completed. Sponsors for the excavation include INA, the National Museums of Kenya, the Gulbenkian Foundation, the National Geographic Society, and Harry C.
