  • Missionaries, the State
    DEVELOPMENT AT THE MARGINS: MISSIONARIES, THE STATE, AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF MARSABIT, KENYA IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY By Jonathan M. Hansen Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History May, 2015 Nashville, Tennessee Dennis C. Dickerson, Ph.D. Moses E. Ochonu, Ph.D. Michael D. Bess, Ph.D. Gregory Melchor-Barz, Ph.D. To my mom and dad ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The path to completing this dissertation was much longer than I expected, and there were many days I felt like giving up on the whole project. The fact that I did not throw in the towel is largely due to my friends, family, and Vanderbilt community who encouraged me along the way, or just spent time listening to my frustrations. I would like to thank my advisor, Dennis Dickerson, and the other members of my committee: Moses Ochonu, Michael Bess, and Gregory Melchor-Barz. For a few years I had a regular lunch crew that made the graduate school experience fun, meaningful, and full of sarcasm. Though I may have actually been more productive if our lunches did not last so long. Thank you to Adam, Cory, Elizabeth, Katie, Rachel, and Will, along with the others who joined us from time to time. Thank you to my cohort: Bill, Kevin, and Will. Also, thank you to Jane Anderson and Heidi Welch, who answered so many of my questions through the years with grace and generosity, and made the department office an enjoyable place to me.

  • Children Peace Program in Northern Kenya Through Rotary
    Children Peace Program in Northern Kenya Through Rotary. Marsabit County is located in Eastern Province stretching across 66,923.1 km2. It borders Turkana county to the West, Isiolo county to the South, Wajir County to the East, Samburu county and Ethiopia to the North. The biggest town in Marsabit County is Moyale which is a border point with Ethiopia. According to the 2009 Kenyan population census, Marsabit County is sparsely populated with a total of 291,166. The area is inhabited by Rendille, Turkana, El Molo, Samburu, Burji, Gabbra and Borana. On average, close to 40% of the people in Marsabit are Christians while 32% are Muslims and other 28% believe in traditional religion. Pastoralists communities in Northern Kenya have experienced inter ethnic related conflict for decades. Researchers and scholars who have studied the nature of inter ethnic conflict in this region have affiliated it to many factors ranging from competition over diminishing resources, cattle rustling, political incitement among others. However, a baseline survey conducted by Children Peace Initiative Kenya (CPI Kenya) some years ago, hypothesized that, lack of interaction/contact among these communities could be playing a major role as to why the inter ethnic conflict in this region has been protracted and intractable. The results of the survey showed that most of the targeted population (Std. 6 children and their parents) had never interacted with members from their neighboring communities and as such perceived them as an enemy community. The children from these communities had grown in fear based on the stereotypes they heard from their parents regarding the neighboring communities.

However, weather conditions generally were characterized by shinny and dusty days being the common features of the month. • Pasture condition significantly depleted in most parts of the district and the rest being restricted by unavailability of water. • Browses are in poor conditions following the prolonged drought period. Therefore mortalities are at its peak among all livestock species. • Distances for livestock to and from water sources currently increased by an average of 1.8kms compared to previous month. As a result, lots of livestock carcasses are observed between water sources and homesteads in most parts of the district. • Acute water shortages are currently noted in Turbi, Forolle, Hurri hills of Maikona division, Central and Gadhamoji divisions and parts of Laisamis division and El Hade, Balesa of North Horr division. As a result, water tankering was continued to the fore mentioned areas by Ministry of Water and Pastoralist integrated support programme (PISP). 1 RURAL ECONOMY INDICATORS • Livestock body conditions in many parts of the district are emaciated due to prolonged drought stress in the district.

  • Vegetation of the Koobi Fora Region Northeast of Lake Turkana, Marsabit County, Northern Kenya
    Journal of East African Natural History 105(1): 21–50 (2016) VEGETATION OF THE KOOBI FORA REGION NORTHEAST OF LAKE TURKANA, MARSABIT COUNTY, NORTHERN KENYA John Kimeu Mbaluka East African Herbarium, National Museums of Kenya P.O. Box 40658, Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Francis H. Brown Department of Geology & Geophysics, University of Utah 115 South 1460 East, Room 205, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT The Koobi Fora region east of Lake Turkana in northern Kenya ranges in elevation from ca. 360 to 560 m, has a mean annual temperature of ca. 32ºC, and rainfall of ca. 130 mm per year. The area, much of which lies within Sibiloi National Park, supports a diverse flora. Here we provide a list of 367 plant species (361 angiosperms) collected from an area of about 2600 km2 between 2012 and 2014, compare the region’s angiosperm flora with the only other documented floras nearby, discuss the principal vegetation types in the study area, and highlight occurrences of some less common plants and plants of restricted distribution. Some 137 plant species (131 angiosperms) are newly documented in this region, none of which have been recorded in the Marsabit region to the east-southeast or in the lower Omo Valley to the northwest. Comparison of the flora of this region with reported floras of the Omo Valley and the Marsabit region show that only 98 species are common to all three areas, and that each area has unique taxa that make up about one-third of its angiosperm flora.
