ACLED collects data on reported conflict events in selected African and Asian countries, Kenya being among them. ACLED researchers collect event data from a variety of sources and code them by date, location, agent, and event type. For further details on ACLED and for the full data, see www.acleddata.com und Raleigh; Linke; Hegre, and Karlsen, 2010. Based on these data, the Austrian Centre for Country of Origin & Asylum Research and Documentation (ACCORD) compiles updates on conflict incidents. Geographic map data is primarily based on GADM, complemented with other sources if necessary. ACLED’s location data is then used to locate incidents in these maps. Incidents that could not be located are ignored. The numbers included in this overview might therefore differ from the original ACLED data. Incidents comprise the following categories: battle, headquarters or base established, non-violent strategic activities, riots/protests, violence against civilians, non-violent transfer of territory, remote violence. For details on these categories, please see • ACLED – Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project: Codebook, 2016 http://www.acleddata.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ACLED_Codebook_2016.pdf • ACLED – Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project: User Guide, January 2016 http://www.acleddata.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ACLED_User-Guide_2016.pdf SOURCES • ACLED – Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project: ACLED Version 7 (1997 – 2016) standard file, undated https://drive.google.com/uc?id=11TqLEgR5r4QwxTP_7xf3T7FPPU5Qx4bA&export=download • CIA – U.

  • LANGUAGE, ORAL TRADITION and SOCIAL VISION in NGUGI's DEVIL on the CROSS by Bayo Ogunjimi
    LANGUAGE, ORAL TRADITION AND SOCIAL VISION IN NGUGI'S DEVIL ON THE CROSS by Bayo Ogunjimi I was born in a Za:t'ge peasant fami.Zy : father, four r.1ives and about twenty- eight chiZdren. I aZso be­ Zonged as r.a>e aU did, in those days, that is my generation, to a wider extended fami.Zy and to com­ munity as a whoZe . We spoke Gikuyu as we worked i n t he fieZds . We spoke Gikuyu in and outside the home. I can vividly recaZZ those evenings when we sat around the fireside and grown -ups and r.a>e , the chiZdren, wouZd teZZ stones i n turns. It was nr>st­ Zy the grown-ups teUing the stones to us, the chiZdren, but everybody was interested and involved The stories with mostZy ani.maZs as - the main characters were toZd in Gikuyu. Hare being s~mZZ, r.a>eak, but f uZl of innovative r.1it and cunning was our hero. We identified with him as he strug­ gled against the brutes of prey Zi.ke Lion, Leopard and Hyena . 1 At the Second International Conference of African Liter­ ature in the English Language held at the University of Calabar in Nigeria in 1982, Ngugi restated the cul tural background, linguistic and social vision that inform Af rican orati on in general. His last novel written in Gikuyu is an evolution of such literary tradition, a creative validation of the sources, didactic and aesthetic qualities of African aura-oral litera­ ture. The opening chapter of Devil on the Cross, which func­ tions as a prologue, proves that the contemporary artist evolves from the historico-cultural generation of the Gi caandi Player or the Wandindi Player (the Afri can traditional bard, minstrel and story-teller of old) .

KARUGA Abstract The paper examines Land Transactions in ICiambu District from 19561 the beginning-of the Land Registration process, to 1971; against a background of classical Land Value Theory hypotheses, namely that the value of land will decline with distance from a central market point - in this case Fairobi and that the volume of transactions will also vary inversely with distance from such a point. Part II examines in greater detail the nature, and process of land transactions, focusing on tenure, and the monetisation of the land transactions process which has resulted in fragmentation of holdings in the District, Other aspects of land processes, such as registration and rural credit are treated briefly. The study suggests the need for more rrtudies of the effect of the Nairobi economy 0:1 the peri—urban £one and the 'newer' land processes in the district - namely the movement from the Traditional areas to the new areas of settlement in the formerly scheduled areas.
