Tribe

May 17, 2010 [ From Agent]

JAMBO!!!

This is Teppei from Kenya.

There are 42 tribes in Kenya.

Kikuyu, Kamba, Meru, Taita and Kalenjin are bantu type
Luo, Nandi and Maasai that is famous in Japan are nailotic type.
US President Barack Obama's farther is Luo.

Bantu is agricultural people from West Africa.
Generally, they are plump and not so tall.
Nailotic is nomadic people that came over along Nile from north.
Generally, they are slim figure and tall.
But of course, there is individual difference.

Almost Kenyan can speak 3 languages, Swahili, English and their mother tongue.

For example, ''How are you??'' is ''WIMUSEO??'' in Kamba language.
If you say to Kamba people when you go to Kenya,
they will say ''How did you know?!?!'' and surprise, laugh, be delight.

A fight between tribes develop into dispute in Africa countries.
It also happened here in Kenya by president election of 2007, it had not happened until then, and many people were died.
Among tribes which were fighting at that time get along well in my round, and there does not seem such a problem.
However, I often can see the facts of this problem when I live here.
It is not only problem Kenya but also all African countries.

''The education is the most important for mutual understanding and coexistence''
Somebody said.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!!
KUEAHELI!!!
