Extractions: Population : 4 million (most in Ethiopia, about 90,000 in Kenya) NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The Borana are part of a very much larger group of about 4 to 5 million persons of whom approximately 90,000 live in north central Kenya with the balance in Ethiopia. They are related to the Oromo in Somalia also. They live in a large area of barren northern Kenya. About 44% of the Kenya Borana live in Marsabit District, into Tana River District, Garissa District and in Moyale District. The heaviest concentration live in the Sololo area of Marsabit District and in Moyale District. Those in Isiolo District are concentrated in Merti and Garba Tula. History: The Borana are one of the resulting groups of Oromo migrants who left the southern highlands of Ethiopia in the 1500's. Most of the Borana and related peoples live in Ethiopia. The Oromo had migrated east but were pushed back by the Somali leading to a greater southern expansion. There are almost 4 million Borana people, most living in Ethiopia. Identity: The word spelled Borana is pronounced with the final vowel silent. For this reason in many English sources the word is spelled

NEVER AGAIN! -- Report From Kenya groups who do not have an indigenous church of amongst three large Muslim groups the borana, Bajun and come together to reach the unreached peoples of Kenya http://www.ad2000.org/re71208.htm
Extractions: Dec 4, 1997 In reporting on the impact of the African National Initiatives Consultation in Nairobi early November, Dr Kabachia said, "When the Kenya delegation were confronted by lists of unreached peoples in Kenya, they determined that never again would a Kenyan delegation attend a global consultation to be embarrassed by such lists." He went on to say, "Before the next consultation in the year 2000, every people group in Kenya will be penetrated." Since GCOWE '97, the Kenya delegation of 80-plus leaders has moved decisively forward to give substance to their declaration. In a series of three one-day seminars, GCOWE delegates have met, discussed, decided and acted to implement an exciting plan to see a church established amongst every people group in Kenya by the year 2000. At the October seminar delegates endorsed the Steering Committee's choice of name for the initiative - 'Finish the Task 2000'. Dr Kabachia, chairman of the initiative, explains, "'Finish the Task 2000' is not a general statement, but a specific goal." He said, " There is no way that we can ever be sure that we have completed the job of preaching the gospel to everyone. When it seems that everyone has heard, there will always be someone coming to the age of accountability who will not have heard. What we are talking about are people groups who do not have an indigenous church of their own." In describing the operating style of the Kenya initiative Dr Kabachia explained that, from the outset, the aim has been to encourage wide and active participation by all. He said, "We want 'Finishing the Task 2000' to be idea-friendly and open to all." He went on to explain, "We want everyone to feel this is 'our' thing. Not an 'us' and 'them' thing."

Extractions: The Major Ethno-linguistic Groups Although little is known of the prehistory of the peoples currently inhabiting Kenya, it is believed that the land has been more or less continuously inhabited since the birth of mankind, something like 4.5 million years ago, as the numerous fossil finds around the edges of Lake Turkana, up in the far north of the country, elegantly testify. These discoveries of early hominids have earned Lake Turkana the sobriquet, 'The Cradle of Mankind', although still older finds were subsequently made in Ethiopia, to the north. Of Kenya's present-day tribes (the number depends on how you count them; 42 were named in the 1989 census, and one source mentions 45 distinct languages as opposed to dialects), some have been there for over a thousand years, perhaps much more; while others only arrived fifty years ago. Their size varies greatly: some number barely a few hundred people and are on the brink of extinction, whilst others number several million, and constitute the country's economic and political elite. Each have their own languages as well as numerous dialects, and traditionally also had their own religions, customs, rituals and ways of life, many of which have been broken down by the modernization which swept through the twentieth-century.

Publications Received by EIIPD Introduction Arid land is a large component of the land resources of the Horn of Africa and this is used by pastoral nomadic peoples. Our main concern is both for the viability of the peoples and sustainability of the environment. There are a number of factors which compel us to consider the sub-region and the nomadic peoples as a unit and the fact that the solutions to their problems are interdependent. However, this paper is primarily concerned with the way in which national perception, political systems, and developmental policies are influential factors in the sustainable use of arid land by pastoralists in Ethiopia as a point of departure. Size and Component of Arid Land and Population in Ethiopia Arid and semi-arid land is a large component of Ethiopia. To give a precise number of Ethiopia and Eritrea, arid and semi-arid land constituted 61%.

Extractions: Unreached People Groups God's passion and ours In the Baptist General Conference, we're convinced that global evangelization is a deep passion in the heart and mind of God. We have a heritage of sharing in that passion, and Conference missionaries have been a part of taking the gospel to some of the world's least evangelized peoples. In 1990, we wanted to renew our commitment to work among unreached people groups and explore new strategies for ministry. We said we wanted to do our fair share in reaching the world's remaining 12,000 unreached people groups. Much was learned during the past decade, and we have continued to refine our list of people groups and strategies for reaching them. What's been accomplished since 1990? Work has begun among Muslims of Central Asia, Africa and France. In the Middle East, we're helping spread the gospel through literature and media. An important new church has been started in the Buddhist stronghold of Thailand. In Ethiopia, India, South America, Vietnam and the Philippines, we have identified other unreached people groups and initiated church planting efforts. Our greatest successes since 1990 have been in Asia, among Apatani, Ibanag, Waray and Thai people groups. What is an unreached people group?

Extractions: (A.B. Cunningham) 1. Introduction As ethnobotanical research is at the interface between disciplines, it poses an interesting problem in terms of literature review. Significant contributions are made to this field of study by anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, chemists, linguists and naturalists as well as botanists. Ethnobotanical research in East and southern Africa could be divided into five main themes in roughly historical order: (i) a focus, for more than a century, on recording vernacular names and uses; (ii) nutritional and chemical analyses of edible and medicinal wild plants species. These were compiled in Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk's classic (1962) book on East and southern African medicinal plants and by Fox and Norwood-Young (1982) and Wehmeyer (1986) on edible plants for southern Africa and Fowden and Wolfe (1957), Imbamba's (1973), Miege and Miege (1979) and Kalenga Saka and Msonthi (1994) for East and south-central Africa; (iv) quantitiative studies on human impacts on plant resources, particularly those entering commercial trade, such as the impact of palm sap tapping (Cunningham, 1990a,b), the harvesting of aloe resins (Bond, 1983), craft materials (Cunningham and Milton, 1987; Cunningham, 1987, 1988b), traditional medicines (Cunningham, 1991, 1993), Phragmites australis reeds (Cunningham, 1985) and Cymbopogon thatching grass (Shackleton, 1990).
