  • 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.

  • Youth, Peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail
    Youth, peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail Youth, Peace and Security in Kenya Revised Draft 12/12/2017 1 Youth, peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail 1. Introduction Kenya underscores the spirit and letter of UNSC Resolution 2250 in many ways. Over the last decade, Kenya’s political-security volatility has been well documented by extant research and media reports. Incidence of political and election-related violence, radicalization and violent extremism, inter-ethnic and inter-communal clashes, pastoralist violence, and state-led violence dot Kenya’s peace and security landscape in the last 10 years. While most of these peace and security issues predate the last decade, their scale, spread, intensity and impacts are unprecedented. As in similar contexts, much of research and policy attention have focused mostly on the role of young women and men largely as victims and perpetrators of violence, respectively. However, emerging pointers, as encapsulated in UNSCR 2250, signpost the crucial role and contribution of young people to preventing violence, responding to violence and rebuilding peace, and informed contributions to the security and stability of communities, countries and world at large. Kenya is no different; female and male youth on their own and/or in collaboration with other stakeholders, actively contributes to conflict prevention, reconciliation and peacebuilding in Kenya. Accordingly, this report presents an overview of the contemporary peace and security challenges in Kenya, and the responses of young people in the form of their roles and contributions to peacebuilding efforts. This case-study was commissioned by UNFPA and PBSO for the Progress Study on YPS requested by SCR 2250, with funding support from SIDA.

  • 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.

  • Kenya 2020 Human Rights Report
    KENYA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kenya is a republic with three branches of government: an executive branch, led by a directly elected president; a bicameral parliament consisting of the Senate and National Assembly; and a judiciary. In the 2017 general elections, the second under the 2010 constitution, citizens cast ballots for president, deputy president, and parliamentarians, as well as county governors and legislators. International and domestic observers judged the elections generally credible, although some civil society groups and the opposition alleged there were irregularities. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission declared Jubilee Coalition Party candidate Uhuru Kenyatta had won re-election as president over opposition candidate Raila Odinga. The Supreme Court subsequently annulled the results for president and deputy president, citing irregularities, and the court ordered a new vote for president and deputy president that the opposition boycotted. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission declared President Kenyatta winner of the new vote, and the Supreme Court upheld the results. The National Police Service maintains internal security and reports to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. The National Intelligence Service collects intelligence internally as well as externally and reports directly to the president. The Kenya Defense Forces report to the Ministry of Defense and are responsible for external security but have some domestic security responsibilities,
