Nomad Africa - Issue 12

En este número

This special freedom edition of Nomad Africa magazine presents us with an opportunity to celebrate the lives and times of the heroes of our national liberation struggles, an opportunity to reflect upon and reaffirm the intrinsic roots of our nation and the continuing relevance for nation building and social cohesion.

In this edition, Christine Siamanta Kinori invites our readers to meet the Turkana tribe – one of the 42 tribes in East Africa that has managed to stick to their undiluted way of life. The tribe have survived natural calamities, modernization and have still remained strong (see page 42). In another special feature, the population in African cities have been predicted to double by year 2015 (page 46).

As we celebrate Nelson Mandela’s 100 years anniversary with this special edition, we believe that if we apply Nelson’s humility, tact and penchant for dialogue, we can face the challenges that threaten Africa as a continent.
