  • Inequality of Child Mortality Among Ethnic Groups in Sub-Saharan Africa M
    Special Theme ±Inequalities in Health Inequality of child mortality among ethnic groups in sub-Saharan Africa M. Brockerhoff1 & P. Hewett2 Accounts by journalists of wars in several countries of sub-Saharan Africa in the 1990s have raised concern that ethnic cleavages and overlapping religious and racial affiliations may widen the inequalities in health and survival among ethnic groups throughout the region, particularly among children. Paradoxically, there has been no systematic examination of ethnic inequality in child survival chances across countries in the region. This paper uses survey data collected in the 1990s in 11 countries (Central African Republic, Coà te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Namibia, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda, and Zambia) to examine whether ethnic inequality in child mortality has been present and spreading in sub-Saharan Africa since the 1980s. The focus was on one or two groups in each country which may have experienced distinct child health and survival chances, compared to the rest of the national population, as a result of their geographical location. The factors examined to explain potential child survival inequalities among ethnic groups included residence in the largest city, household economic conditions, educational attainment and nutritional status of the mothers, use of modern maternal and child health services including immunization, and patterns of fertility and migration. The results show remarkable consistency. In all 11 countries there were significant differentials between ethnic groups in the odds of dying during infancy or before the age of 5 years. Multivariate analysis shows that ethnic child mortality differences are closely linked with economic inequality in many countries, and perhaps with differential use of child health services in countries of the Sahel region.

  • An Investigation of Language Maintenance Strategies Among the Maragoli Youth of Uriri Subcounty, Kenya
    Academic Research International Vol. 9(4) December 2018 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ AN INVESTIGATION OF LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES AMONG THE MARAGOLI YOUTH OF URIRI SUBCOUNTY, KENYA Nabeta K.N. Sangili¹, ²Nyandiba N. Carren and ³Sangai, E. Mohochi ¹Kaimosi Friends University College, ² Rongo University, ³Kibabii University, KENYA. ¹[email protected], ²[email protected], ³[email protected] ABSTRACT Uriri Sub County has a complex language ecology composed of Dholuo, Kuria, EkeGusii, Somali, Luhya dialects, among other languages. Some of these languages have been in contact for many years. It has been imperative that every community maintains their own language. Language maintenance is an integral part of any language survival, as espoused by UNESCO and ACALAN. UNESCO has extensively researched on language death, attrition and shift and reported that many indigenous languages across the globe are dying due to shift and disuse by the speakers, a situation that has been rendered dire. UNESCO has been of the opinion that every effort must be put in place, theoretically and in practice, to save dying languages and to maintain those that are surviving. Lullogoli, a dialect of Luhya, has been in contact with Dholuo for over 78 years and still shows signs of survival

  • Burundian Refugees in Western Tanzania, It Can Be Expected That Such Activities Would Take Place
    BURUNDIAN REFUGEES IN TANZANIA: The Key Factor to the Burundi Peace Process ICG Central Africa Report N° 12 30 November 1999 PROLOGUE The following report was originally issued by the International Crisis Group (ICG) as an internal paper and distributed on a restricted basis in February 1999. It incorporates the results of field research conducted by an ICG analyst in and around the refugee camps of western Tanzania during the last three months of 1998. While the situation in Central Africa has evolved since the report was first issued, we believe that the main thrust of the analysis presented remains as valid today as ever. Indeed, recent events, including the killing of UN workers in Burundi and the deteriorating security situation there, only underscore the need for greater attention to be devoted to addressing the region’s unsolved refugee problem. With this in mind, we have decided to reissue the report and give it a wider circulation, in the hope that the information and arguments that follow will help raise awareness of this important problem and stimulate debate on the best way forward.

  • Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis
    Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis by Timothy Birabi Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adam Smith Business School College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016 ©Timothy Birabi i Abstract This thesis seeks to research patterns of economic growth and development from a number of perspectives often resonated in the growth literature. By addressing themes about history, geography, institutions and culture the thesis is able to bring to bear a wide range of inter-related literatures and methodologies within a single content. Additionally, by targeting different administrative levels in its research design and approach, this thesis is also able to provide a comprehensive treatment of the economic growth dilemma from both cross- national and sub-national perspectives. The three chapters herein discuss economic development from two broad dimensions. The first of these chapters takes on the economic growth inquiry by attempting to incorporate cultural geography within a cross-country formal spatial econometric growth framework. By introducing the global cultural dynamics of languages and ethnic groups as spatial network mechanisms, this chapter is able to distinguish economic growth effects accruing from own-country productive efforts from those accruing from interconnections within a global productive network chain. From this, discussions and deductions about the implications for both developed and developing countries are made as regards potentials for gains and losses from such types and levels of productive integration. The second and third chapters take a different spin to the economic development inquiry. They both focus on economic activity in Africa, tackling the relevant issues from a geo-intersected dimension involving historic regional tribal homelands and modern national and subnational administrative territories.

  • International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 1 No. 3 1 the NEW
    International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 1 No. 3 THE NEW CONSTITUTION AND TEACHING OF AFRICAN LANGUAGES: WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR KENYA Pamela M. Ngugi [email protected] Kenyatta University-Kenya Abstract Chapter 2, Section 7(3), of the Kenyan constitution, (The Republic of Kenya 2010) stipulates that the state shall develop, promote and protect the diversity of languages of the people of Kenya. Although this statement has no direct implication to the language of education policy in the Kenyan system of education, their implementation will largely affect the language policy in education. This paper explores ways in which the constitution can be used as a catalyst in the promotion, development and protection of African Languages and at the same time use these African languages as media of instruction in schools in Kenya. Introduction In 2010, the government of Kenya adopted a new constitution in which major changes were made in regard to the development, promotion and protection of indigenous languages. This, we believe was in keeping in mind that the promotion of linguistic and cultural diversity constitutes a wealth , not only of this composite country, but of the whole mankind. Indeed such a goal cannot be separated from the achievement of peace, development, solidarity, security and democracy. This action is also in line with the United Nation’s affirmation of protecting and promoting diversity, cultural identity and linguistic diversity. Considering the Kenyan language situation, this step can be considered as the right action that will lead to averting of the waning of the indigenous languages caused by lack of interest in these languages.

  • Stereotypes As Sources of Conflict in Uganda
    Stereotypes as Sources of Conflict in Uganda Justus NIL, gaju Editorial Consultant/BMG Wordsmith, Kampala Email: ibmugâ;u ;a yahoo.co.uk In order- to govern, colonial authorities had frequently found it expedient to divide in order to rule. An example of such a situation was, for instance, the dividing up of Uganda into a society of contradictory and mutually suspicious interests. They made, for instance, the central area of the country, and to some extent, areas in the east, produce cash crops for export. In so doing they made one part of Uganda produce cash crops and another reservoir of cheap labour and of recruitment into the colonial army. This had the inevitability of producing inequalities, which in turn generated intense and disruptive conflicts between the different ethnic groups involved. The rivalry over access to opportunities gave rise to the formation of attitudes of superiority and inferiority complexes. President Yoweri Museveni (MISR, 1987:20) The history of modern Uganda is a long story of stereotyping. From the beginning of colonial rule to the present, the history of Uganda has been reconstructed in neat- looking but deceptive stereotypes. These stereotypes can be summed up as follows: aliens and natives, centralised/developed/sophisticated states versus primitive stateless societies, the oppressor and the oppressed, the developed north and the backward north, the rulers and subjects, and the monarchists/traditionalists and the republicans. Uganda's history has also been reconstructed in terms of the "modermsers" versus the "Luddites", patriots against quislings, heroes/martyrs and villains, the self-serving elite and the long-suffering oppressed/exploited masses, the "swine" versus the visionary leaders, the spineless politicians and the blue-eyed revolutionaries, etc.

    The International Journal Of Humanities & Social Studies (ISSN 2321 - 9203) www.theijhss.com THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL STUDIES Hutu-Tutsi Conflict in Burundi: A Critical Exploration of Factors Dr. Mpawenimana Abdallah Saidi Vice Principal, Baseerah International School, Shah Alam, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Oladimeji Talibu Ph.D. Candidate, School of International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia Abstract: The scenario of genocidal war that broke out in 1994 in Burundi and Rwanda is the worst of its kind that ever happened on the African continent. The war broke out between the two major ethnic groups, Hutu and Tutsi, in Rwanda and Burundi which led to the death of over 800,000 people in both countries. The failure of the international community, the regional body and the East African Community, to instantaneously intervene to prevent the genocide war has been given scholarly attention by scholars whereas the main factors behind the outbreak of the war have not been properly delved into. Given the currency of the issue in the East African region, the article examines those factors that have given rise to the Hutu-Tutsi conflict in Burundi. It seeks to provide an analytical framework upon which the conflict can be understood. In this way, the article presents Burundi as a case study. It is believed that understanding Burundi scenario can shed light on those factors that led to the war in both Burundi and Rwanda. In doing this, we rely on existing works and documents of which we employed content analysis to critically interpret. Keywords: Burundi, Hutu, Tutsi, geography, economics, politics 1.

Interethnic Marriages, the Survival of Women, and the Logics of Genocide in Rwanda Anuradha Chakravarty Department of Government, Cornell University This article focuses on the gendered dimensions of the genocide in Rwanda. It seeks to explain why Tutsi women married to Hutu men appeared to have better chances of survival than Tutsi women married to Tutsi men or even Hutu women married to Tutsi men. Based on data from a field site in southwest Rwanda, the findings and insights offered here draw on the gendered, racial, and operational dynamics of the genocide as it unfolded between April and July 1994. Introduction In September 1992, a military commission report in Rwanda officially defined the ‘‘main enemy’’ as ‘‘Tutsis from inside or outside the country’’ and the ‘‘secondary enemy’’ as ‘‘anyone providing any kind of assistance to the main enemy.’’1 Since the invasion of Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) rebels in 1990, extremist propaganda had focused on the immutable racial distinction between Hutu and Tutsi.

  • Rwanda's Hutu Extremist Insurgency: an Eyewitness Perspective
    Rwanda’s Hutu Extremist Insurgency: An Eyewitness Perspective Richard Orth1 Former US Defense Attaché in Kigali Prior to the signing of the Arusha Accords in August 1993, which ended Rwanda’s three year civil war, Rwandan Hutu extremists had already begun preparations for a genocidal insurgency against the soon-to-be implemented, broad-based transitional government.2 They intended to eliminate all Tutsis and Hutu political moderates, thus ensuring the political control and dominance of Rwanda by the Hutu extremists. In April 1994, civil war reignited in Rwanda and genocide soon followed with the slaughter of 800,000 to 1 million people, primarily Tutsis, but including Hutu political moderates.3 In July 1994 the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) defeated the rump government,4 forcing the flight of approximately 40,000 Forces Armees Rwandaises (FAR) and INTERAHAMWE militia into neighboring Zaire and Tanzania. The majority of Hutu soldiers and militia fled to Zaire. In August 1994, the EX- FAR/INTERAHAMWE began an insurgency from refugee camps in eastern Zaire against the newly established, RPF-dominated, broad-based government. The new government desired to foster national unity. This action signified a juxtaposition of roles: the counterinsurgent Hutu-dominated government and its military, the FAR, becoming insurgents; and the guerrilla RPF leading a broad-based government of national unity and its military, the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA), becoming the counterinsurgents. The current war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DROC), called by some notable diplomats “Africa’s First World War,” involving the armies of seven countries as well as at least three different Central African insurgent groups, can trace its root cause to the 1994 Rwanda genocide.
