<\/a>According to archaeological dating of associated artifacts and skeletal material, the Cushites first settled in the lowlands of Kenya between 3,200 and 1,300 BC, a phase referred to as the Lowland Savanna Pastoral Neolithic<\/a>. Nilotic<\/a>-speaking pastoralists (ancestral to Kenya’s Nilotic speakers) started migrating from present-day southern Sudan into Kenya around 500 BC. European contact began in 1500 with the Portuguese Empire<\/a>, though effective colonization of Kenya began in the 19th century during the European exploration of the interior. Modern-day Kenya emerged from a protectorate<\/a> established by the British Empire in 1895 and the subsequent Kenya Colony<\/a>, which began in 1920. Numerous disputes between the UK and the colony led to the Mau Mau revolution<\/a>, which began in 1952, and the subsequent declaration of independence in 1963. After independence, Kenya remained a member of the Commonwealth of Nations<\/a>. The current constitution was adopted in 2010 to replace the 1963 independence constitution.<\/p>\n Kenya is a presidential representative democratic republic, in which elected officials represent the people and the president is the head of state and government. Kenya is a member of the United Nations<\/a>, Commonwealth of Nations, World Bank<\/a>, International Monetary Fund<\/a>, COMESA<\/a>, International Criminal Court<\/a>, and other international organisations. With a GNI<\/a> of 1,460, Kenya is a lower-middle-income economy. Kenya’s economy is the largest in eastern and central Africa, with Nairobi serving as a major regional commercial hub. Agriculture is the largest sector: tea and coffee are traditional cash crops, while fresh flowers are a fast-growing export. The service industry is also a major economic driver, particularly tourism. Kenya is a member of the East African Community<\/a> trade bloc, though some international trade organisations categorize it as part of the Greater Horn of Africa<\/a>. Africa is Kenya’s largest export market, followed by the European Union.<\/p>\n Fossils found in Kenya have shown that primates inhabited the area for more than 20 million years. Recent findings near Lake Turkana<\/a> indicate that hominids such as Homo habilis<\/a><\/em> (1.8 to 2.5 million years ago) and Homo erectus<\/a><\/em> (1.9 million to 350,000 years ago) are possible direct ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, and lived in Kenya in the Pleistocene<\/a> epoch.<\/p>\n East Africa, including Kenya, is one of the earliest regions where modern humans (Homo sapiens) are believed to have lived. Evidence was found in 2018, dating to about 320,000 years ago, at the Kenyan site of Olorgesailie, of the early emergence of modern behaviors including: long-distance trade networks (involving goods such as obsidian), the use of pigments, and the possible making of projectile points.<\/p>\n The first inhabitants of present-day Kenya were hunter-gatherer groups, akin to the modern Khoisan<\/a> speakers. These people were later largely replaced by agropastoralist Cushitic<\/a> (ancestral to Kenya’s Cushitic speakers) from the Horn of Africa. During the early Holocene<\/a>, the regional climate shifted from dry to wetter conditions, providing an opportunity for the development of cultural traditions such as agriculture and herding, in a more favorable environment.<\/p>\n Around 500 BC, Nilotic-speaking pastoralists (ancestral to Kenya’s Nilotic speakers) started migrating from present-day southern Sudan into Kenya.<\/p>\n By the first millennium AD, Bantu<\/a>-speaking farmers had moved into the region, initially along the coast. The Bantus originated in West Africa along the Benue River<\/a> in what is now eastern Nigeria<\/a> and western Cameroon<\/a>. The Bantu migration brought new developments in agriculture and ironworking to the region.<\/p>\n The Kenyan coast had served host to communities of ironworkers and Bantu subsistence farmers, hunters, and fishers who supported the economy with agriculture, fishing, metal production, and trade with foreign countries. These communities formed the earliest city-states in the region, which were collectively known as Azania<\/a>.<\/p>\n By the 1st century CE, many of the city-states such as Mombasa, Malindi<\/a>, and Zanzibar<\/a> began to establish trading relations with Arabs. This led to increased economic growth of the Swahili states, the introduction of Islam, Arabic influences on the Swahili Bantu language, cultural diffusion, as well as the Swahili city-states becoming members of a larger trade network.<\/p>\n The Kilwa Sultanate<\/a> was a medieval sultanate centered at Kilwa<\/a>, in modern-day Tanzania. At its height, its authority stretched over the entire length of the Swahili Coast<\/a>, including Kenya.<\/p>\n Swahili, a Bantu language with Arabic, Persian, and other Middle-Eastern and South Asian loanwords, later developed as a lingua franca for trade between the different peoples. Swahili now also has loanwords from English.<\/p>\n The Swahili built Mombasa into a major port city and established trade links with other nearby city-states, as well as commercial centres in Persia, Arabia, and even India. By the 15th-century, Portuguese voyager Duarte Barbosa<\/a> claimed that “Mombasa is a place of great traffic and has a good harbor in which there are always moored small craft of many kinds and also great ships, both of which are bound from Sofala and others which come from Cambay and Melinde and others which sail to the island of Zanzibar.”<\/p>\n Later on in the 17th century, the Swahili coast was conquered and came under direct rule of Omani Arabs<\/a>, who expanded the slave trade to meet the demands of plantations in Oman<\/a> and Zanzibar. Initially, these traders came mainly from Oman, but later many came from Zanzibar. In addition, the Portuguese started buying slaves from the Omani and Zanzibari traders in response to the interruption of the transatlantic slave trade by British abolitionists.<\/p>\n The colonial history of Kenya dates from the establishment of a German protectorate over the Sultan of Zanzibar’s coastal possessions in 1885, followed by the arrival of the Imperial British East Africa Company<\/a> in 1888. Imperial rivalry was prevented when Germany handed its coastal holdings to Britain in 1890. This was followed by the building of the Uganda Railway<\/a> passing through the country.<\/p>\n During the railway construction era, there was a significant influx of Indian workers, who provided the bulk of the skilled manpower required for construction. They and most of their descendants later remained in Kenya and formed the core of several distinct Indian communities such as the Ismaili Muslim<\/a> and Sikh<\/a> communities.<\/p>\n In 1920, the East Africa Protectorate was turned into a colony and renamed Kenya after its highest mountain.<\/p>\n During the early part of the 20th century, the interior central highlands were settled by British and other European farmers, who became wealthy farming coffee and tea. By the 1930s, approximately 30,000 white settlers lived in the area and gained a political voice because of their contribution to the market economy.<\/p>\n The central highlands were already home to over a million members of the Kikuyu people<\/a>, most of whom had no land claims in European terms and lived as itinerant farmers. To protect their interests, the settlers banned the growing of coffee, introduced a hut tax, and the landless were granted less and less land in exchange for their labor. A massive exodus to the cities ensued as their ability to provide a living from the land dwindled. By the 1950s, there were 80,000 white settlers<\/a> living in Kenya.<\/p>\n From October 1952 to December 1959, Kenya was in a state of emergency arising from the Mau Mau rebellion<\/a> against British rule. The Mau Mau, also known as the Kenya Land and Freedom Army, were primarily members of the Kikuyu ethnic group.<\/p>\n The governor requested and obtained British and African troops, including the King’s African Rifles<\/a>. The British began counter-insurgency operations. In May 1953, General Sir George Erskine<\/a> took charge as commander-in-chief of the colony’s armed forces, with the personal backing of Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n The capture of Waruhiu Itote<\/a> (nom de guerre “General China”) on 15 January 1954 and the subsequent interrogation led to a better understanding of the Mau Mau command structure for the British. Operation Anvil opened on 24 April 1954, after weeks of planning by the army with the approval of the War Council. The operation effectively placed Nairobi under military siege. Nairobi’s occupants were screened and the suspected Mau Mau supporters moved to detention camps. More than 80,000 members of the Kikuyu ethnic group were held in detention camps without trial, often subject to brutal treatment. The Home Guard formed the core of the government’s strategy as it was composed of loyalist Africans, not foreign forces such as the British Army and King’s African Rifles. By the end of the emergency, the Home Guard had killed 4,686 Mau Mau, amounting to 42% of the total insurgents.<\/p>\n The capture of Dedan Kimathi<\/a> on 21 October 1956 in Nyeri<\/a> signified the ultimate defeat of the Mau Mau and essentially ended the military offensive. During this period, substantial governmental changes to land tenure occurred. The most important of these was the Swynnerton Plan<\/a>, which was used to both reward loyalists and punish Mau Mau.<\/p>\n Despite British hopes of handing power to “moderate” local rivals, it was the Kenya African National Union (KANU)<\/a> of Jomo Kenyatta<\/a> that formed a government. The Colony of Kenya and the Protectorate of Kenya each came to an end on 12 December 1963, with independence being conferred on all of Kenya. The United Kingdom ceded sovereignty over the Colony of Kenya. The Sultan of Zanzibar agreed that simultaneous with independence for the colony, the sultan would cease to have sovereignty over the Protectorate of Kenya so that all of Kenya would become one sovereign state. In this way, Kenya became an independent country under the Kenya Independence Act 1963 of the United Kingdom. Exactly 12 months later on 12 December 1964, Kenya became a republic under the name “Republic of Kenya”.<\/p>\n Jomo Kenyatta became Kenya’s first president. Under Kenyatta, corruption became widespread throughout the government, civil service, and business community. Kenyatta and his family were tied up with this corruption as they enriched themselves through the mass purchase of property after 1963.<\/p>\n Kenyatta ruled until his death on 22 August 1978.<\/p>\n Following Kenyatta’s death in 1978, Daniel arap Moi<\/a> became president. He retained the presidency, running unopposed in elections held in 1979, 1983, and 1988, all of which were held under the single-party constitution.<\/p>\n In 1991, Kenya transitioned to a multiparty political system after 26 years of single-party rule. On 28 October 1992, president Moi dissolved parliament, five months before the end of his term. As a result, preparations began for all elective seats in parliament as well as the president. The elections were scheduled to take place on 7 December 1992, but delays led to its postponement to 29 December the same year. Apart from KANU, the ruling party, other parties represented in the elections included FORD Kenya and FORD Asili. This election was marked by large-scale intimidation of opponents, as well as harassment of election officials. It resulted in an economic crisis propagated by ethnic violence as the president was accused of rigging electoral results to retain power. This election was a turning point for Kenya as it signified the beginning of the end of Moi’s leadership and the rule of KANU. Moi retained the presidency and George Saitoti<\/a> became the vice-president.<\/p>\n The elections of 1992 marked the beginning of multiparty politics after more than 25 years of rule by KANU. Following skirmishes in the aftermath of the elections, 5,000 people were killed and a further 75,000 others displaced from their homes. In the next five years, many political alliances were formed in preparation for the next elections.<\/p>\n In 1996, KANU revised the constitution to allow Moi to remain president for another term. Subsequently, Moi stood for re-election and won a 5th term in 1997. His win was strongly criticized by his major opponents, Kibaki<\/a> and Odinga<\/a>, as being fraudulent.<\/p>\n Moi’s plan to be replaced by Uhuru Kenyatta<\/a> failed, and Mwai Kibaki, running for the opposition coalition “National Rainbow Coalition” (NARC<\/a>), was elected president.<\/p>\n Kibaki was re-elected in highly contested elections marred by political and ethnic violence<\/a>. The main opposition leader, Raila Odinga, claimed that the election results were rigged and that he was the rightfully elected president. In the ensuing violence, 1,500 people were killed and another 600,000 were internally displaced, making it the worst post-election violence in Kenya. To stop the death and displacement of people, Kibaki and Odinga agreed to work together, with the latter taking the position of a prime minister. This made Odinga the second prime minister of Kenya.<\/p>\n In July 2010, Kenya partnered with other East African countries to form the new East African Common Market within the East African Community. In August 2010, Kenyans held a referendum and passed a new constitution, which limited presidential powers and devolved the central government.<\/p>\n In 2013, Kenya held its first general elections after the new constitution had been passed. Uhuru Kenyatta won in a disputed election result, leading to a petition by the opposition leader, Raila Odinga. The supreme court upheld the election results and President Kenyatta began his term.<\/p>\n In 2017, Uhuru Kenyatta won a second term in office in another disputed election. Following the defeat, Raila Odinga again petitioned the results in the Supreme Court, accusing the electoral commission of mismanagement of the elections and Uhuru Kenyatta and his party of rigging. The Supreme Court overturned the election results in what became a landmark ruling in Africa and one of the very few in the world in which the results of a presidential elections were annulled. This ruling solidified the position of the Supreme Court as an independent body. Consequently, Kenya had a second round of elections for the presidential position, in which Uhuru emerged the winner after Raila refused to participate, citing irregularities.<\/p>\n At 580,367 km2 (224,081 sq mi), Kenya is the world’s forty-seventh largest country. From the coast on the Indian Ocean, the low plains rise to central highlands. The highlands are bisected by the Great Rift Valley<\/a>, with a fertile plateau lying to the east.<\/p>\n The Kenyan Highlands are one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa. The highlands are the site of the highest point in Kenya and the second highest peak on the continent: Mount Kenya<\/a>, which reaches a height of 5,199 m (17,057 ft) and is the site of glaciers. Mount Kilimanjaro<\/a> (5,895 m or 19,341 ft) can be seen from Kenya to the south of the Tanzanian border.<\/p>\n Kenya’s macroeconomic outlook has steadily posted robust growth over the past few decades, mostly from road and rail infrastructure projects. However, much of this growth has come from cash flows diverted from ordinary Kenyan pockets at the microeconomic level through targeted monetary and fiscal measures coupled with poor management, corruption, massive theft of public funds, overlegislation, and an ineffective judiciary, resulting in diminished incomes in ordinary households and small businesses, unemployment, underemployment, and general discontent across multiple sectors.<\/p>\n Kenya has a Human Development Index (HDI)<\/a> of 0.555 (medium), ranked 145 out of 186 in the world. As of 2005, 17.7% of Kenyans lived on less than $1.25 a day. In 2017, Kenya ranked 92nd in the World Bank ease of doing business rating from 113rd in 2016 (of 190 countries). The important agricultural sector is one of the least developed and largely inefficient, employing 75% of the workforce compared to less than 3% in the food secure developed countries. Kenya is usually classified as a frontier market or occasionally an emerging market, but it is not one of the least developed countries.<\/p>\n The economy has seen much expansion, seen by strong performance in tourism, higher education, and telecommunications, and decent post-drought results in agriculture, especially the vital tea sector. Kenya’s economy grew by more than 7% in 2007, and its foreign debt was greatly reduced.<\/p>\n According to the Kenya Roads Board, Kenya has 160,886 kilometres (99,970 mi) of roads. Several paving projects are underway.<\/p>\n Two routes in the Trans-African Highway<\/a> network pass through Kenya and the capital, Nairobi<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Cairo-Cape Town Highway<\/a>, Trans-African Highway 4, linking North Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa. From Nairobi southwards this is one of the most heavily used routes in the network, and includes one of the longest complete paved sections. However, it still has missing links to the north and it is not practical to travel to Cairo without off-road vehicles. This part will be completed as part of the LAPSSET<\/a> project.<\/p>\n The Lagos-Mombasa Highway<\/a>, Trans-African Highway 8, links East Africa and West Africa. It is only complete between the Ugandan<\/a>\u2013DR Congo<\/a> border and Mombasa, linking the African Great Lakes<\/a> region to the sea. It is also named the ‘Trans-African Highway’.<\/p>\n There are around 100,000 matatus (minibuses), which constitute the bulk of the country’s public transport system.<\/p>\n Larger and safer bus services are offered by a range of companies throughout the country.<\/p>\n Jomo Kenyatta International Airport<\/a> in Nairobi, is Kenya’s largest airport and serves the most destinations. Some international flights go to Moi International Airport<\/a> in Mombasa<\/a>. Kisumu Airport<\/a> was upgraded to an international airport in 2011 and a second phase of expansion is under way.<\/p>\n The national company Kenya Railways Corporation runs the former Uganda Railway<\/a> and its branches in Kenya. The most important line in the country runs between the port of Mombasa and Nairobi, sleeping car accommodation is offered for tourists.<\/p>\n Part of the Lake Victoria<\/a> system is within the boundaries of Kenya. Kenya has a major international port at Mombasa, serving both Kenya and Uganda. Kisumu<\/a> on Lake Victoria is also another major port, which has ferry connections to Uganda and Tanzania.<\/p>\n The flag of Kenya is a tricolour of black, red, and green with two white edges imposed with a red, white and black Maasai<\/a> shield and two crossed spears. The flag is based on that of Kenya African National Union<\/a> and was officially adopted on 12 December 1963 after Kenya’s independence.<\/p>\n The Kenyan flag is based on the black over red over green flag of Kenya African National Union (KANU), the political party that led the fight for freedom and independence of Kenya. Upon independence, the white fimbriation, symbolising peace and unity, and the shield were added.<\/p>\n The Kenyan flag includes symbols of unity, peace and defense of the country. The colour black represents the people of the Republic of Kenya, red for the blood shed during the fight for independence, and green for the country’s landscape and natural wealth. The white fimbriation was added later to symbolize peace and honesty. The black, red, and white traditional Maasai shield and two spears symbolise the defense of all the things mentioned above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Kenyan flag is based on the black over red over green flag of Kenya African National Union (KANU), the political party that led the fight for freedom and independence of Kenya.
