The Drowned Valleys on the Coast of Kenya
THE DROWNED VALLEYS ON THE COAST OF KENYA. By H. L. SIKES, B.A., B.E., H.INST. C.E., F.G.S. In his report on the Geology of the East Africa Protectorate .(Col. Rep. Misc. No. 45, Cd. 3828, London, 1908), Mr. H. B. Maufe pomted out that the tidal creeks on the coast of Kenya, the rock floors of which are far below sea level, originated as land valleys, which are now •• drowned." He also indicated that the sub-aerial erosion which produced or rejuvenated these valleys must have taken .place subse• quent to the formation of the raised coral reefs of Pleistocene age which form the existing coastal strip including most of Mombasa Island. Although much is still obscure, light has been thrown in recent years on the oscillations of relative level between sea and land on .the .East African coast. Amongst the writings which bear on this matter are Stockley's report on the" Geology of the Zanzibar Protec• tora.te " (London, 1928) with the associated report on the" Palaeon• tology of the Zanzibar Protectorate " by various specialists (London, 1927), Monograph No. IV of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow Univer• sity, containing various reports on geological collections from the coast lands of Kenya Colony made by Miss McKinnon W0011, and various papers and other publications recording the results of research work in other parts of the world on the relative level of land and sea during Quaternary times, the factors influencing coral growth, the solution of limestones by sea water and other phenomena. Borings carried out from time to time for the purpose of obtaining information relating to foundations for bridges and other structures, and to find water, have yielded evidence which is not without significance in the consideration of the history of these submerged valleys. -

Community-Led Security Approaches to Violent Extremism
INUKA!: COMMUNITY-LED SECURITY APPROACHES TO VIOLENT EXTREMISM Conflict Scan to inform Inuka! programming by Search for Common Ground Kenya, in partnership with Kenya Muslim Youth Alliance (KMYA), Muslims for Human rights (MUHURI), and Kiunga Youth Bunge Initiative CONTACT: JUDY KIMAMO DECEMBER 2017 Director Search for Common Ground [email protected] 1. Executive Summary Context and Methodology Since Kenyan forces intervened militarily in Somalia in October 2011, a toxic combination of push and pull factors has led to the emergence of a home-grown, Kenyan Al-Shabaab insurgency that is feeding on historical religious and regional divides in the country. Violent attacks have occurred across Kenya, but with greater frequency in the primarily-Muslim coastal region, a part of Kenya that has experienced long-standing political exclusion and economic marginalization as well as active separatist movements. These attacks have devastated the local economy by causing the collapse of the tourism industry in the coastal counties, leaving a large population of idle and unemployed youth with little hope for a positive future. Recent research and learning by the peace and development field in Kenya1 has established that heavy- handed security responses involving human rights abuses and the “guilty-by-association” criminalization of the entire Muslim community have led to a lack of trust, communication, and coordination amongst key community, government, and security stakeholders around preventing and countering Violent Extremism (VE). This approach has further exacerbated tensions between communities and security actors, leaving vulnerable populations more susceptible to the influence of radicalization2. Entry points to influence the context have been difficult to exploit. -
