Molo, Kenya

Molo is a town in Nakuru County. It is also one of the 11 constituencies in Nakuru County and is served by a branch of Kenya Railways, formerly the Uganda Railway, East African Railways Corporation until 1977. Molo hosts a town council. The town has a population of 156,732 (2019 census). Overview Molo is along the Mau Forest which runs on the Mau Escarpment and home to a renowned goon Joseph Kimani wambaa a husband to Ruth Omego. The town was a settlement established primarily because of its fertility and vast vegetation. It is one of the coldest places in the country. This is a perfect place for growing pyrethrum, a cash crop that can be maintained with little resources. Many other crops are grown by both small and large-scale farmers, attracting settlers, including individuals with political influence. This rapid influx of settlers led to extensive forest destruction and widespread timber poaching. Efforts to reclaim land and grow trees have been outpaced by logging and charcoal making. The Kenyan government has since declared all forests protected from human activity. Since 2002, only imported timber has been permitted. Molo town has seven wards, five of them (Kiambiriria, Molo, Sachangwan, Turi North and Turi South) are within Molo Constituency, while the remaining two (Koige and Sirikwa) are part of the Kuresoi Constituency. According to the Kenyan National Potato Policy, Molo is the second largest producer of potatoes in Kenya. Baraka Farmers Training College is located just outside Molo. St. Andrews School, Turi, is located in Turi, a railroad station centre about 10 kilometres towards the east of Molo. The 2009 Kenyan oil spill ignition occurred near Molo in Sachangwan. The Molo Bus Park in the town serves as a central hub for vehicles commuting to Nakuru, Nairobi and neighboring regions.

Thimlich Ohinga

Thimlich Ohinga je archeologická lokalita v Migori County na jihozápadě Keni. Na terénní vyvýšenině se zde nacházejí zbytky budov z velkých nasucho kladených kamenů, připomínající architektonickým stylem Velké Zimbabwe. Stěny dosahují výšky 1–4,2 m a šířky 1–3 m. Původ staveb se datuje do 15.–16. století a za jejich tvůrce jsou považováni původní bantuští obyvatelé. Thimlich Ohinga je nejlépe zachovanou ze 138 opevněných osad v kraji okolo Viktoriina jezera, vytvořených na obranu před kočovnými zloději dobytka. Název pochází z jazyka dholuo, kde thimlich znamená „strašlivý prales“ a ohinga znamená „útočiště“. Ruiny prozkoumal v šedesátých letech 20. století Neville Chittick z Britského ústavu historie a archeologie. V roce 1981 se Thimlich Ohinga stala keňskou národní památkou a v roce 2018 byla zapsána na seznam světového dědictví UNESCO.

Thimlich Ohinga

Thimlich Ohinga est un site archéologique situé au Kenya dans le comté de Migori à 180 km au sud de Kisumu sur une colline en pente douce à environ 46 km au nord-nord-ouest de Migori et des mines d'or de Macalder. Le nom signifie littéralement « la grande forêt m'effraie » en langue luo. La technique de construction est comparable à celle utilisée au Grand Zimbabwe. Il s'agit d'une série enceintes plus ou moins circulaires de pierres occupants une surface de plus de 21 ha, mesurant de 1 à 4,2 mètres de hauteur et de 1 à 3 mètres de largeur édifiées sans apprêt ni mortier par les Bantous d'abord puis renforcées et utilisées par les Luo pour se défendre des pilleurs Kalenjin-Nandi ensuite. Les vestiges les plus anciens de cette forteresse, qui fut occupée jusqu'en 1981, ont plus de 500 ans. Bien que ce soit le site le mieux conservé, il est loin d'être le seul exemplaire de mur de défense dans la région est du lac Victoria. On en a dénombré 521 dans 139 localités différentes, soit bâtis par des Bantous, soit par des Nilotes. Depuis 1981, le site est classé monument national et géré par les Musées nationaux du Kenya qui ont soumis, en 2010, un dossier devant l'UNESCO pour que le site soit inscrit au patrimoine mondial en tant que paysage culturel. Ce classement devient effectif en 2018.

Thimlich Ohinga

Thimlich Ohinga (luo za „protiv šume gradina”) je sustav kamenih ruina u kenijskom okrugu Migori, oko 181 km južno od grada Kisumu. Ovaj arheološki lokalitet je jedan od 138 mjesta s 521 kamenom građevinom koja su nastala oko kenijskog dijela Viktorijinog jezera, najvjerojatnije u 16. stoljeću. Izgleda kako su Ohinge (tj. „utvrđeno naselje”) služile kao utvrde za zajednice i stoku, ali su također definirale društvene entitete i odnose vezane uz nasljedstvo. Thimlich Ohinga je najveće i najbolje sačuvano od ovih tradicionalnih gradina. Ono je izniman primjer tradicije masivnih ograđenih stijena od suhog kamena, tipičnih za prve pastoralne zajednice u dolini jezera Viktorija, koje su se razvijale od 16. do sredine 20. stoljeća. Zato je Thimlich Ohinga postao UNESCO-ova svjetska baština i upisan je na Popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Africi 2018. godine. Povijest Ljudi koji su govorili bantu jezik (najvjerojatnije preci plemena Maragoli, Bunyore i Kisii, koji žive u blizini) su naseljavali ovo područje u 13. i 14. st. prije nego što su tajanstveno nestali po doseljenju naroda Luo u 18. st. Prema usmenoj predaji, zidine Thimlich Ohinge su trebali čuvati stanovnike od naroda iz Kadema (Kanyamwa) i susjednih naroda iz Tanzanije. Kroz ovo područje prolazili su ljudi iz Ugande, Ruande, pa čak i Sudana. Oni su obnavljali i prilagođavali građevine, ne remeteći mnogo izvorne od 15. do 19. st. U prvoj polovici 20. st. su ga stanovnici napustili i najvjerojatnije završili u Tanzaniji. Neville Chittick, bivši direktor Britanskog instituta za povijest i arheologiju u Istočnoj Africi, prvi je dokumentirao ovo mjesto 1960-ih. Istraživači iz Nacionalnih muzeja Kenije počeli su ih istraživati od 1980. godine. Nekad poznata kao "Dolina Liare", po dolini na sjeveroistočnom području, Thimlich Ohinga je 1981. godine zabilježen kao kenijski nacionalni spomenik pod novim imenom. Ime je promijenjeno jer "Dolina Liare" nije bila točna lokacija arheološkog lokaliteta. Odlike Graditeljski stil Thimlich Ohinge je sličan onome Velikog Zimbabvea, koji se nalazi nekih 3.600 km južnije, u Zimbabveu, ali je nešto manji. Obje su građene bez žbuke, ali je Veliki Zimbabve građen od oblikovanog kamena, a Thimlich Ohinga od kamena lomljenca. Unutar naselja se nalaze brojni prolazi, manje nastambe i zemunice. Ulazni prolazi su namjerno građeni mali kako bi potencijalne osvajače mogli lako savladati stražari iz obližnjeg tornja, s kojega se pruža pogled na cijelo naselje. Ovakva gradnja središnjeg naselja velike savanske zajednice je postala dominantnom u području Viktorijinog jezera, te se mogu pronaći mnoge slične tradicionalne građevine na zapadu i jugozapadu Kenije. Osim što je bila obrambena utvrda, Thimlich Ohinga je bila gospodarsko, vjersko i društveno središte. O tome svjedoče pronađeno mlinsko kamenje, štale za stoku, ovce, koze, kokoši, patke, biserke, pa čak i ograde za vrtove i mjesta za igru, gdje su se igrale igre kao što je ajua. U naselju su bile i manje utvrde koje su imale kuće, menze, obore i žitnice. Izvori Vanjske poveznice lokacijska karta
Thimlich Ohinga

Thimlich Ohinga è un sito archeologico situato in Kenya, nella contea di Migori, a circa 180 km a sud di Kisumu; si trova su una collina dal dolce pendio a circa 46 km a nord-nord-ovest di Migori e delle miniere d'oro di Macalder. Il nome in lingua luo significa letteralmente "foresta fitta che spaventa". Il sito è composto da una serie di recinti di forma circolare o arrotondata fatti di pietre a secco e disposti su una superficie di circa 21 ha; ogni recinto presenta mura alte da 1 a 4,2 m e spesse da 1 a 3 m. La tecnica di costruzione è simile a quella utilizzata a Grande Zimbabwe. Lo studio dei più antichi resti di pietre ha permesso di teorizzare che i primi recinti siano stati fondati nel XVI secolo da popolazioni Bantu, prima dell'arrivo dei Luo, che ampliarono e rinforzarono le costruzioni di pietra fino al XIX secolo. Lo scopo dei recinti era quello di difendere le persone e il bestiame dalle incursioni di saccheggiatori (come i Kalenjin-Nandi), ma anche di definire dei gruppi sociali e le relazioni basate sul lignaggio all'interno della comunità. Thimlich Ohinga è il migliore per conservazione tra i 521 siti di recinti di pietra diffusi in 139 località intorno al Lago Vittoria. Questo è dovuto al fatto che è stato uno degli ultimi ad essere abbandonato, intorno alla metà del XX secolo. Il sito è stato esplorato dal British Institute of History and Archaeology in East Africa negli anni '60, come testimoniato dalle relazioni di Neville Chittick, allora direttore dell'istituto, ed è stato classificato monumento nazionale nel 1981; è gestito dai Musei Nazionali del Kenya. Il 29 giugno 2018 ha ottenuto il riconoscimento di patrimonio dell'umanità dall'UNESCO.

Thimlich Ohinga

Thimlich Ohinga is een archeologische site in het westen van Kenia, ten noordwesten van de stad Migori en nabij het Victoriameer. Het is een Ohinga, wat nederzetting betekent, en het is waarschijnlijk in de zestiende eeuw gebouwd. De muren werden zonder cement gebouwd. Waarschijnlijk diende het als een fort voor gemeenschappen en vee, en het was mogelijk ook aan sociale gemeenschappen en afkomst gelinkt. Thimlich Ohinga is het grootst en het best bewaard gebleven van dit soort nederzettingen. Het is een goed voorbeeld voor dit type nederzettingen, die tussen de zestiende en twintigste eeuw werden gebouwd rond het Victoriameer.

Thimlich Ohinga

Thimlich Ohinga é um sítio arqueológico localizado no condado de Migori, a 180km ao sul de Kisumu, no Quênia. O seu nome significa literalmente "a grande floresta me assusta" na língua Luo. A técnica de construção é comparada à utilizada no Grande Zimbabwe. É formada por uma série de estruturas mais ou menos circulares de pedra, que ocupam uma superfície de 21 hectares, medindo de 1 a 4,2 metros de altura e de 1 a 3 metros de espessura, edificadas sem o uso de nenhuma argamassa pelos Bantus e depois pelo povo Luo, para se defender da pilhagem dos Kalenjin-Nandi. Os vestígios mais antigos da fortalez revelm que esta construção possui cerca de 500 anos e foi utilizada como moradia até 1981. A região do Lago Vitória possui cerca de 500 estruturas de defesa parecida com este, em 139 locais diferentes, porém esta é a mais bem preservada de todas. UNESCO Foi inscrito como Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO em 2018 por: "ser um exemplo excepcional da tradição de construções muradas com pedras sem uso de argamassa, típica das primeiras comunidades pastoras da região do Lago Vitória, que existiu do Século XVI até meados do Século XX" Referências
Тхимлич Охинга

Тхимлич Охинга (англ. Thimlich Ohinga Archaeological Site) — археологический объект в Кении, в 46 км северо-восточнее города Мигори в районе озера Виктория, в провинции Ньянза. Объект всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО в Кении с 2018 года. Защищён Законом о национальных музеях и наследии (National Museums and Heritage Act) 2006 года и находится под управлением Национальных музеев Кении (NMK). Дополнительную защиту обеспечивают традиционные правила и табу, поддерживаемые старейшинами общины. Планируется развитие туризма. На языке долуо народа луо, населяющего регион thimlich означает «пугающий густой лес», а ohinga — «каменное сооружение». Тхимлич Охинга представляет укреплённое каменное сооружение, построенное методом сухой кладки. Датируется XVI веком. По мнению учёных Тхимлич Охинга использовался для охраны общин и домашнего скота. Тхимлич Охинга является самым крупным и наиболее сохранившимся из существующих традиционных строительных комплексов. Это выдающийся пример сборного массивного строительства методом сухой кладки, характерной для ранних скотоводческих общин в бассейне озера Виктория и практиковавшейся с XVI до середины XX века. Комплекс состоит из четырёх сооружений: Kochieng, Kakuku, Koketch, Koluoch. Стены состоят из внешней и внутренней кладок, скреплённых средней. Стены построены из аккуратно сложенных камней разных размеров без раствора, высота стен от 1,5 до 4,5 м, средняя толщина — 1 м. Примечания

Lake Sare

Lake Sare is a lake in western Kenya that lies between the Yala Swamp and Lake Victoria. It has potential as a site for restocking fish species that have become endangered in Lake Victoria, but due to lack of management the lake ecology is steadily degrading. Location Lake Sare was originally a gulf on Lake Victoria at the mouth of the Yala River where it left the Yala Swamp. The gulf has been cut off from the lake by a culvert, which created the 500 hectares (1,200 acres) Lake Sare through back-flooding. The river water enters Lake Victoria from Lake Sare through a channel crossed by a bridge that carries the C27 coastal highway along the Goye causeway. Lake Sare is bordered by papyrus swamps, which merge into the Yala Swamp. The lake does not support commercial fishery due to lack of management, although that could change. With its direct link to Lake Victoria, it is important in preserving the cichlid fish fauna of Lake Victoria. It has potential as a site for juvenile endangered species of fish to grow before migrating into Lake Victoria. Ecology A 1991 report stated that the water that flows into Lake Sare has been filtered by the swamp and holds few nutrients and little suspended matter. The water has conductivity of 120–130μS/cm and pH of 7.6, with 7–9 mg of oxygen per liter in daytime. The bottom zone was mulched with papyrus detritus, with few areas of soil or gravel. It was home to burrowing nematodes, mayfly nymphs, dragonfly nymphs and swamp oligochaeta, particularly Alma emini and Limnodrilus species. The lake was not very productive in terms of limnology, with much lower densities of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the free water column when compared to Lake Victoria. The lake did not have a rich variety of fish species. The most common were Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), Oreochromis leucostictus and Haplochromis species. The swamp around the lake held marbled lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus), Lake Victoria squeaker (Synodontis victoriae), Synodontis afrofischeri and Clarias gariepinus. The carnivorous Nile perch (Lates niloticus infested the lake. Due in part to the Nile perch and in part to over-fishing by the local people, there were no Oreochromis esculentus or Oreochromis variabilis in the lake. A 2005 report noted changes in Lake Sare that threatened its ecosystem through eutrophication and pollution. It recommended an inclusive management plan for the entire Yala swamp complex to prevent further degradation of the ecosystem. A 2014 report noted significant degradation of the lake's ecology in the past 24 years. Noxious macrophytes had invaded the lake initiating a slow change that could cause it to eventually dry up. As of 2019 BirdLife International scored the threat to the whole swamp complex as high, and was pessimistic about action being taken. Notes Sources
Karen Blixen Museum (Nairobi)

Das Karen Blixen Museum in Nairobi gehört zu den Nationalmuseen in Kenia. Die Ausstellung befindet sich im ehemaligen Wohnhaus der dänischen Schriftstellerin Karen Blixen. Das Haus, Mbogani genannt, befindet sich in Karen, einem Vorort von Nairobi, am Fuß der Ngong-Berge. Mbogani wurde 1912 von Åke Sjögren erbaut und 1917 von Bror von Blixen-Finecke erworben, im selben Jahr zog Blixen-Finecke mit seiner Frau dort ein. Nach dem Ende ihrer Ehe lebte Karen Blixen dort mit Denys Finch Hatton. 1931 verkaufte Karen Blixen das Haus und ging nach Dänemark zurück. 1963 erwarb die dänische Regierung das Haus und verkaufte es im gleichen Jahr weiter an die Nationalmuseen in Kenia. Drei Jahre später eröffnete eine Hauswirtschaftsschule auf dem Gelände, Mbogani diente dabei dem Schuldirektor als Wohnung. In den 1980ern begann ein dänisches Gremium, das Farmhaus in ein Museum umzubauen. Die Filmproduktionsgesellschaft Universal Films, die Karen Blixens Buch Jenseits von Afrika verfilmt hatte, spendete 5000 US-Dollar für die Renovierung. Es gelang, Teile der Originaleinrichtung des Farmhauses zu erwerben und das Haus damit einzurichten. Das Museum Im Karen Blixen Museum werden Möbelstücke und Fotografien von Karen Blixen gezeigt. Die Räume, auch die in einem separaten Gebäude untergebrachte Küche, wurden renoviert und im Stil der damaligen Zeit wiederhergestellt. Weiterhin wird dort die von Harald Isenstein angefertigte Bronzebüste Karens Blixens ausgestellt.
