Hardinge on the Condition and Progress of the East Africa Protectorate from its Establishment to tbp 20th July, Ib97. [WITH MAP.] 1.-General Description of Protectorate. THE British East Africa Protectorate is bonnded on the east by the Indian Ocean, on the west by the Uganda Protectorate, and on the south-west by the Anglo-German frontier, which, starting from the mouth of the River Umba, runs in a generally north. west direction till it strikes the eastern shore of Lake Victoria Nyanza at the point at which it is intersected by the 1st parallel of south latitude. To the north and north-east it is bounded by the Italian sphere of influence from which it is divided by the River Juba up to parallel 60 of north latitude, and thence by a line running along tbat parallel nntil it reaches the Blue Mle. The frontier between the East Africa and Uganda Protectorates is only partially defined: starting from tbe German frontier, it follows the Guaso Masai River "'" far as Sosian, thence strikes north-east to the KedongRiver, which it tollows to its Bource, and thence runs in a northE:rly direction along the Likipia escarpment or eastern lip of the great" meridional rift." It is, however, still undecided whether or not it should be deflected, for greater convenience in dealing with the Uganda Masai, so as to leave to Uganda the region between the southern portion of the Likipia escarpment and the so-called Aberdare range. In view of the uncertainty existing as to the inland boundaries, it is impossible to give the exact area of the territory, though it may be estimated roughly at 280,000 square miles. It will be sufficient here to state that its CQ8st-line, including in the term the Islands of Lamu, Manda, and Patta, which are separated from the mainland by narrow channels, is 405 miles long, whilst its greatest breadth, measured from the centre of ihe district of Gosha on the Juba to the Likipia escarpment, is 460 miles. The Protectorate in its present form was constituted on the lst July, 1895. Previous to that date a Protectorate had been declared on the 4th November, 1890, over those portions of the territory which formed part of the Zanzibar Sultanate, and on the 19th November of the same year over Witu and the whole of the coast between the Tana and Juba Rivers. Tbe administration of this second Protectorate was confided in 1893, with the exception of those portions of the coast between the Tana and Juba which belonged to the Zanzibar Sultanate and were rented by the Imperial British East Africa Company from him, to the Sultan of Zanzibar, but without being fused in or united to the Sultanate. In September 1894 a Protectorate was established under an independent Commis­ sion£'r over Uganda, and wa.q subsequently defined as extending over the whole of the intervening territory from whieh the Imperial British Yoast Africa Company had with. drawn its effective control, that is, as far as the western limits of its district of Kikuyu, whkh still constitutes the frontier between the East Africa and Uganda Protectorates. The remainder of the British sphere between the Zanzibar and Uganda boundaries and the Tana River and lJerman frontier was placed nnder Her Majesty's protection on the 1st July, 1895, and the whole of the above-described territories to the east of the Uganda Protectorate were at the same time fused into one administrative whole under ",", title of the" East Africa Protectorate." [7661 B 2 rC.-S.. 2 Political Divisions. British East Africa includes thr<le district sovereignti'?s, i.e. : .... 1. The mainland territories of the Sultan of Zanzibar. 2. 'l'be Sulianate of Witu. 3. The remainder of the Protectorate consisting of the old" chartered t€.rritory" pf the Imperial British East Africa Company and of the region between the Tana and the Juba not included either in Zanzibar or Witu. 'fhis division, which I propose for the sake of convenience to style British East Africa proper, is not, of course, technically under Her Majesty's sovereignty, and is divided among a. number of tribes and races under our Protectorate, but it differs from Zanzibar and Witu in that the status of the Chiefs exercising authority there is not recognized by international law or at least by any international engagement. 1. Zanzibar.-'fhe mainland dominipns of the Sultan of Zanzibar included in the Protectorate (for he possesses certain coast ports to the north of it now leased to Italy) consist- (1.) Of a strip of const 10 miles deep from high-water mark, extending from the mouth of the River Umba on the south to Kipini on the Ozi on the north; and (2.) Of a series of islands off the coast between the Ozi and the Juba and of the mainland town of Kismayu with a radius of 10 miles around it. These territories were recognized as constituting the mainland dominions of the Sultan by the Anglo-German Agreement of the 31st October, 1886, to which France subsequently became a party, and were leased by successive Sultans under succcssive Concessions granted in 1887, 1888, and 1800 to the Iniperial British East Afric..t Company, which resurrendered them in 1895 to the late Sultan Hamed·bin-Thwain in return for the sum of 200,000/., representillg the purchase money paid in 1890 by the German Government for the Sultan's sovereign Tights in the former Zanzibar possessions between the Umba and Romma Rivers, now included in German East Africa. By an Agreement made verbally in July 1895, but not formally signed till December 1895, between .His late Higbness and mysclf as Her Majesty's Representative these territories were to be administered under his sovereignty lind flag by officers to be appointed by Her Majesty's Government which undertook in return to pay to that of Zanzibar the annual sum of 17,0001. a-year, representing the old rent of the Imperial British East Africa Company (11,0001.), and the interest (6,0001.) on the above-mentioned sum of 200,000l. at :3 per cent. In examining the Budget ot' the Protectorate and estimating the value of the territory from tbe figures shown in it, it must not be forgotten that its revenue is burdened with an annual charge of 17,000/. for the benefit of the sister Protectorate of Zanzibar. 2. Witu.-The State of Witu extends along the eoast from Kipini to Kwyhoo, its northern boundary being a straight line drawn in 1887 by Commissioners representing the German and Zanzibar GO\'ernments d?e west from Kwyhoo to a point a few miles cast of the Ozi River. It was founded, or rather gradually grew up, in the years from 1860 to 1885, round a colony of outlaws who had followed Ahmed-bin-Fumo I,uti, the last of It he old Nabhan Sultans of l'attah, a race dating from the earliest days of Asiatic colonization in East Africa, when, after he bad been conquered, together with his ally Mahommed-bin-Mataka, tyrant of Siu, by Seyyid Majid, Sultan of Zanzibar, he withdrew tirst to Kipini, then to Kau on the Ozi, and finally beillg driven from Kau by Seyyid Bar.,.hash, took refuge in the fore6ts of the district now known as Witu. From this last refuge, where he had collected round himself all the criminals, runaway slaves, and outlaws from jnstice of every description, Seyyid Barghash strove in min to dislodIPe him, and under the name of" Himba" (the lion), by which he was known to the Slvahilis, he attaiueu, notwithstanding all the efforts of the Government of Zanzibar, the positiQn of a powerful and practically independent petty Chief.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Somalia 2019 Crime & Safety Report
    Somalia 2019 Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Mission to Somalia. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Somalia at Level 4, indicating travelers should not travel to the country due to crime, terrorism, and piracy. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Mission to Somalia does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizen Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Somalia-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. The U.S. government recommends U.S. citizens avoid travel to Somalia. Terrorist and criminal elements continue to target foreigners and locals in Somalia. Crime Threats There is serious risk from crime in Mogadishu. Violent crime, including assassinations, murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery, is common throughout Somalia, including in Mogadishu. Other Areas of Concern A strong familiarity with Somalia and/or extensive prior travel to the region does not reduce travel risk. Those considering travel to Somalia, including Somaliland and Puntland, should obtain kidnap and recovery insurance, as well as medical evacuation insurance, prior to travel. Inter- clan, inter-factional, and criminal feuding can flare up with little/no warning. After several years of quiet, pirates attacked several ships in 2017 and 2018.

  • Magool: the Inimitable Nightingale of Somali Music
    Magool: The Inimitable Nightingale of Somali Music Bashir Goth Man u saaray May arooryaad iyo Ma mooday Magool kaliileed I. True to these seminal lines of Yusuf Xaji Adan Qabile, Magool has blos- somed ever since, destined to enthrall the Somali-speaking peoples of the Horn of Africa and beyond with her captivating voice over the next forty-plus years…never to be silenced as long as a person who speaks Somali lives on the face of the earth. On March 25, 2004, when Magool’s remains were being laid to rest amid one of the largest funeral congregations that Mogadishu has ever seen, I was in Dubai conducting interviews about her with a small group of Somali artists. The group was led by Ali Sugulle, a renowned playwright and a man who along with Sahardid Mohamed Elmi (Jabiye) was instrumental in making Magool an icon by giving her lead roles in a series of plays in the 1960s. The cohort included Ahmed Yaasin, a former Waaberi singer; Ahmed Mohamed Guutaale, a former Waaberi actor; and Jaama Ahmad Ibrahim (Baqayo), a former Djiboutian actor. In an effort to compile this article about the life and musical legacy of Magool, I subsequently spoke to Sahardid Mohamed Elmi (Jabiye), a celebrated playwright and lyricist; Mohamed Adan Da’ar, a famous singer and lyricist; Hassan Haji Abdullahi (Hassan Ganey), a play- wright and poet; Shamis Abokor (Guduudo Arwo), the first woman whose songs were publicly played on Radio Hargeisa; Hibo Mohamed (Hibo-Nuura), a celebrated former Waaberi singer who co-acted in many plays with Magool; Saeed Mohamed Harawo and Abdulkarim 1 Bildhaan Vol.

  • Part H Background to the Somali War 1 Introduction
    PART H BACKGROUND TO THE SOMALI WAR 1 INTRODUCTION TO SOMALIA 1.1 The Somali People Somalia1 covers almost 640,000 square kilometres in the north-eastern tip of the Horn of Africa. In the main this is a semi-desert region, with a vegetation cover and water resources that dictate a pastoral nomadic existence for the majority of the population. The exception is the area between the two southern rivers, the Shabelle and Juba, and in valleys of the northern escarpments, where higher rainfall and richer soils provide land suitable for agriculture. r The Somali-speaking people form one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa, living dispersed throughout the Horn, from the Awash Valley, through the Ethiopian Ogaden, and into northern Kenya as far as the Tana river. A Cushitic-speaking family or 'nation' of people, Somalis belong to the Hamitic group of peoples, which includes the Afar, Oromo, Saho and Beja peoples of the Horn. The Somali are distinguished by a shared common ancestry, a single language, an Islamic (sunni) heritage and a way of life that is overwhelmingly pastoral. The Somali are divided into six 'clan families' — Dir, Issaq, Darod, Hawiye, Digil, and Rahanweyne — which are further divided, according to agnatic descent, into subsidiary clans or lineage groups (see diagram 1) (Lewis, 1961). The Somali kinship system and the flexible and shifting alliances of clan kinship groups are fundament- ally entrenched in the social, political, and economic culture of the Somali people. Until the colonial period the Somali 'nation' did not form a single political unit; any concept of political identity was based on clan affiliation.

    United Nations S/2017/751 Security Council Distr.: General 5 September 2017 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on Somalia I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 25 of Security Council resolution 2358 (2017) and paragraph 44 of resolution 2297 (2016). It provides information on the implementation of those resolutions, including on the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) and challenges faced by the United Nations Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) in carrying out its mandate. It covers major developments in Somalia during the period from 1 May to 22 August 2017. II. Political and security overview A. Political developments 2. The Federal Government of Somalia continued to capitalize on the opportunity created by the February 2017 election of Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed “Farmajo” as President and the subsequent formation of a new cabinet under the Prime Minister, Hassan Ali Kheyre. Encouraging steps were taken to strengthen relations with the federal member states. On 6 June, President Farmajo visited Kismaayo, where he promised to pay regular salaries to the Somali national army and Darawish forces in Jubaland. The Federal Cabinet plans to hold meetings in the regional capitals, the first of which took place in Kismaayo on 12 July. 3. The new Government continues to confront several challenges, including drought response and security. The new Government intends to remain on good terms with all its partners and is concerned that a crisis in the wider region might have far-reaching consequences on the stability of Somalia. It therefore opted to remain neutral in the Gulf crisis of June 2017.
