Podcasts about marsabit

On this Laetare Sunday we are delighted to have + Paul Dempsey, one of the auxiliary bishops of Dublin join John and Shane on the podcast to share his journey to priesthood and to becoming a bishop but also what he learnt on a visit to Kenya in January 2024 and what the people of the diocese of Marsabit in northern Kenya could teach the Irish church about sharing the faith. Bishop Paul Dempsey is one of the current auxiliary bishops of Dublin although he started out his episcopal service as the bishop of Achonry in the west of Ireland until Pope Francis decided to move him to assist Archbishop Farrell in Dublin as part of the reorganisation of the dioceses in the west of Ireland. He shares with us some of his vocation story and about what he ministers to now in Dublin. But he also shares with us his experience of visiting the diocese of Marsabit in January 2024 and what he learnt about being church in that vast space in northern Kenya. He takes us through the role of the catechist in the small Christian communities and how key they are where there are no priests, reflects on the basic nature of missionary work and what we can learn from that in Ireland where the assumed role of the faith in the fabric of society has come under so much strain and rupture. Taking the work of the theologian and missionary Fr Vincent Donovan, Bishop Paul reminds us that as a church we are called to work with people "not to call them back to where they were......not to try and call them to where you are, as beautiful as that place might seem to you. [We] must have the courage to go with them to a place neither you nor they have ever been before".Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

Mpango wa Usimamizi wa Ardhi (Land Governance program) uliopatiwa jina "Kusaidia kufikia Ajenda 2030 kupitia mageuzi chanya ya ugatuzi wa ardhi (land reforms) katika maeneo ya ardhi za jamii nchini Kenya" umeboresha uhakika wa kupatikana kwa chakula na lishe kupitia upatikanaji wa ardhi kwa wote nchini Kenya. Programu hii imezinduliwa na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kilimo na chakula FAO kwa kushirikiana na Muungano wa Ulaya (EU) katika kaunti 9 ikilenga kuimarisha sekta ya kilimo, ufugaji na uvuvi na umeimarisha usimamizi wa ardhi kwa ajili ya maisha bora na maendeleo ya kijamii na kiuchumi katika kaunti zote zinazotekeleza. Kupitia video iliyoandaliwa na FAO, Cecily Kariuki anaeleza matokeo yake.Mpango wa Usimamizi wa Ardhi (Land Governance program) uuliopatiwa jina "Kusaidia kufikia Ajenda 2030 kupitia mageuzi chanya ya ugatuzi wa ardhi (land reforms) katika maeneo ya ardhi za jamii nchini Kenya" umeboresha uhakika wa kupatikana kwa chakula na lishe kupitia upatikanaji wa ardhi kwa wote nchini Kenya.

Kupitia video iliyoandaliwa na FAO, Selina Jerobon anaeleza matokeo yake katika makala hii..…Wazee wa jamii za kijiji cha Maiyanat iliyoko katika kaunti ya Turkana kaskazini-magharibi mwa Kenya wanafanya kikao cha pamoja hapa, wakiwa wamevalia mavazi yao ya kitamaduni, watoto wakiwa pembeni wakifuatilia kinachoendelea. Wanajadili matumizi mazuri ya mashamba ya jamii zao kwa kuzingatia usawa wa kijinsia na marika yote.Je, awali umiliki wa ardhi ulizingatia usawa huu? Ratinui Macharia ni mwenyekiti wa ardhi ya jamii ya Maiyanat, anasema,“Awali, wanawake na vijana hawakuruhusiwa kushiriki au hata kuchaguliwa kwenye kamati ya ardhi lakini sasa imetuleta sote pamoja.”Lois Kimere ni mwanamke mwanachama wa kamati ya ardhi Maiyanat.“Kulingana na jamii za Maiyanat, wanawake hawakuwa wanaonekana kama watu wenye uwezo wa kuchangia maendeleo ya kijamii. Tulihamasisha wanawake kuhusu mambo ya ardhi, uongozi katika vijijini na katika ngazi za kitaifa hususani serikali, na katika bishara.”Kwa msingi wa dharura, awamu ya kwanza na ya majaribio ya mpango huu ilitekelezwa katika kaunti za Laikipia, Nandi, Pokot magharibi, Baringo, Vihiga, Marsabit, Kajiado, Samburu, Tana River na Turkana.Asha Lekudere ni mwanachama wa ardhi ya jamii ya sereolipi, anasema FAO imeimarisha mtazamo wao.“Zamani tulikuwa na shamba la kikundi. Kisha FAO ikatupeleka kwenye mafunzo kadhaa. Niliweza kujifunza maana ya umiliki wa ardhi kwa jamii yetu ya samburu, uwezo wetu na haki za wanawake.”Chini ya ajenda ya ardhi ya jamii, programu iliwezesha mila shirikishi na jumuishi katika usimamizi wa ardhi kwa njia ya usawa wa jinsia na rika zote.Na hatua gani zinaweza kuchukuliwa mizozo inapotokea? Mpango wa usimamizi wa ardhi umekuza mfumo mbadala wa mahakama, wa kupigania haki za kibinadamu unaojulikana kama AJS, njia bora ya kusuluhisha kesi mashinani na kuachilia ardhi itumike kwa ajili ya jamii zote haraka iwezekanavyo.Jonathan Osewu, Msajili wa ardhi  katika kaunti ya Kajiado anasema,“Katika utamaduni wetu wa kimasai tunazo njia nyingi sana za kutatua mizozo. Kwa hivyo AJS ilipoletwa, ilikuwa ni njia bora ya kuimarisha utaratibu wetu wa jadi wa kutatua kesi.”Na isitoshe, njia za teknolojia za kutoa ramani ya ardhi na rasilimali yote kwa muonekano wa anga, GIS ili kusaidia kufanya maamuzi ya kesi haraka, pia imechangia utangamano katika jamii husika. Vituo hivi vimetekelezwa katika sehemu nyingi ikiwemo kaunti ya Vihiga. Wilber Ottichilo, Gavana wa mkoa wa Vihiga anatoa shukrani kwa FAO.“Kama kaunti ya Vihiga,…

Elimu ni moja ya nyenzo zenye nguvu zaidi za kuleta mabadiliko kwa watu binafsi na jamii na ndio maana katika miongo miwili iliyopita, serikali ya Kenya imefanya mageuzi mengi ili elimu ya msingi iwe bure na ya lazima kwa watoto wote walio katika umri wa kwenda shule. Hata hivyo, watoto wengi bado hawako shuleni kutokana na umaskini, miundombinu duni, kutelekezwa na wazazi na matatizo ya kiafya hasa katika maeneo masikini. Sasa shirika la Umoja la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF limeamua kuingilia kati kwa kushirikiana na wadau kusaidia. Flora Nducha na maelezo zaidi.Katika Kaunti ya Dandora jijini Nairobi ambako wakazi wengi ni walala hoi, watoto kwenda shule ni mtihani unaoanzia kwa wazazi kama Wambui Kahiga mama wa Octavia mtoto mwenye umri wa miaka 10.Wambui anasema, “shida zangu kubwa sasa hivi ni chakula, mavazi , kulipa gharama za shule na ghara za kulipia nyumba. Kibarua ninachopata wakati huu ni cha kufua nguo na hakiaminiki kuna wakati napata na kuna wakati nakosa. Najihisi vibaya kwani ingekuwa mapenzi yangu , Octavia angekuwa alianza shule kitambo.”Kwa mujibu wa UNICEF umasikini ndio sababu kubwa inayowafanya wazazi kushindwa kuwapeleka watoto shule na sasa shirika hilo linashirikiana na wakfu wa Elimisha mtoto (EAC) na wanaendesha programu ya elimu zaidi ya yote kupitia mradi wa “Njoo shuleni” ili kuwafikia watoto wote kama Octavia na kuhakikisha wanapata haki ya elimu.Elizabeth Waitha ni afisa elimu wa UNICEF Kenya anasema “mara tunapobaini watoto ambao hawana fursa ya elimu, tunawasajili na tunaweza kuwasaidia na vifaa vya shule ambavyo vinapunguza mzigo kwa wazazi kuweza kuwasaidia watoto wao kwa ajili ya kusoma”.Na hii inaleta faja na matumaini kwa watoto na wazazi kama kwa mama wa Octavia akisema, “Octavia yuko shuleni , na sasa ambavyo anasoma naona maisha yake yatabadilika , yatakuwa maziri hata mimi atakuja kuniinua.”Kwa UNICEF “Elimu ni haki ya msingi ya binadamu na kila mtoto anapaswa na anahitaji fursa ya kupata elimu na uelimishaji mkubwa unahitajika kuhakikisha kwamba kila mtoto anasoma.”Kulingana na takwimu za Educate A Child (EAC) kuna watoto milioni 1.3 wa umri wa kati ya miaka 6 hadi 13 ambao hawasomi nchini Kenya.Mradi huu unafadhiliwa na mfuko kwa ajili ya maendeleo wa serikali ya Qatar na unatekelezwa katika kaunti 16 nchini Kenya ambazo ni Baringo, Bungoma, Garissa, Isiolo, Kajiado, Kilifi, Kwale, Mandera, Marsabit, Narok, Samburu, Tana River, Turkana, Wajir, West Pokot, na katika makazi yasiyo rasmi ya jijini Nairobi.

Im Norden Kenias herrscht die schlimmste Dürre seit vierzig Jahren. Fünf Regenperioden sind zuletzt ausgefallen. Erst in diesem Frühjahr gab es erstmals wieder Niederschlag - jedoch weniger als nötig. Die Nomadenvölker in der Region Marsabit stehen vor dem Nichts. Grund dafür: die Klimakrise. Tausende Nomadinnen und Nomaden haben ihre Tiere an die Dürre verloren - und damit ihren gesamten Besitz. Kamele, Schafe, Ziegen, Esel und Kühe sind verhungert. Dabei leben 80 Prozent der Menschen von der Viehhaltung. Jetzt sind bis zu 95 Prozent ihres Tierbestandes verendet. Was tun, wenn die Lebensgrundlage wegfällt? Und nicht mehr wiederkommt? Marlene Groihofer mit einer Reporage aus Marsabit.

The migration of Anopheles stephensi, an invasive mosquito species, threatens to redefine malaria in Africa. Transcript Malaria in Africa is mainly rural, and peaks during the rainy season. The primary culprit is  Africa's main malaria vector: Anopheles gambiae. But another malaria vector – called Anopheles stephensi – is making its way into the continent from SE Asia. Anopheles stephensi can transmit malaria in both rural and urban settings, and breed in small volumes of water. Because it's not dependent on rainfall, it can transmit the disease year-round. It can even transmit Plasmodium vivax malaria – a form of the disease that can relapse. In one study in Kenya last year, 16 out of the 55 mosquitoes captured were Anopheles stephensi. Almost a third. So just how much of a threat is Anopheles stephensi – and what can be done? Listen next time on Malaria Minute Extended.

Nyeri Archbishop Anthony Muheria has said the Church is concerned about biting drought and famine in Marsabit, Samburu and other parts of Kenya. Muheria said Kenyans appear to have forgotten about the plight of the residents in Marsabit as it was 'no longer,' news for livestock to die over lack of pasture. He said the Government and the people of Kenya must help the vulnerable communities from the vagaries of drought.

In der nordkenianischen Region Marsabit unterstützt die Organisation PACIDA - ein Partner der Dreikönigsaktion der Katholischen Jungschar - die dort lebenden Viehzüchter. Die größte Herausforderung derzeit ist eine extreme, langanhaltende Dürre, berichtet Adano Wario, einer der Gründer von PACIDA.

Leading horse trainer talks about his recent win in the Country Classic at Rosehill with "Marsabit"

Trainer Danny Williams chats about the win of Marsabit in the TAB Country Classic yesterday at Rosehill.

Stephen Mutinda Mutuku is a teacher, youth leader, and activist who lives and works in Northern Kenya. This area is vast and rural, with poor roads and infrastructure, leaving a very small footprint for the Kenyan state and local police to address crime and other forms of violence that regularly occurs in these northern communities. Though these crimes are not large enough to be understood as an intra-state "conflict" by most conflict analysts, it is certainly coordinated and widespread, representing to some degree a challenge to state authority that is headquartered in Nairobi, over 500 miles away.  Cattle rustling has been cited as the main cause of insecurity in places like Marsabit, where I spoke to Mr. Mutuku by phone. This practice undermines the security protocols that are aimed at ending killings and banditry in Kenya's largest county by land mass. Civilians have died in the north as a result of this violence, and, according to the Marsabit County Commissioner, is its primary security concern. From the state's perspective, cattle rustling isn't isn't only a crime but a deeply entrenched retrogressive tradition among the pastoralist communities. In a single operation last year, police uncovered and seized over 300 guns and 3,000 rounds of ammunition from tibes engaging in the practice. I visited South Ethiopia and North Kenya last year and saw first hand the cattle in question. Tribes like The Samburu, Rendille, Turkana, Daasanach and other warriors usually raid neighbouring communities and return with hundreds of cattle. While others may think this is a barbaric practice, these tribes consider it an act of bravery that earns them accolades from young women and elders. Cattle rustling was also a way of replenishing the communities' stocks after their herds perished during droughts, getting livestock stolen by bandits from other communities or getting animals to pay as dowry. It has now resulted in a continuous upheaval of violence that gets very little attention because it doesn't readily meet the conventional stereotypes we hold around African conflicts. I spoke with Mr. Mutuku about this, how he is helping to reshape his community through re-education and positive interference among the youth to disengage from these practices, and how this conflict is shaping the security norms in the north of the country. 

“If you know where you're coming from, you know where you're going, and you cannot get lost.” At a tea house on the side of the road, on the way to Marsabit, Kenya, a Gabbra senior elder sat down with a member of his community to tell a story about how colonization has affected the rhythms of their peoples' nomadic ways of life in the grasslands and deserts of eastern Africa, and how traditional knowledge has gotten them through. Drawing from interpretations of the moon, the sun, the stars, the birds, and the entrails of slaughtered animals, the Gabbra's knowledge can be applied in the world we live in today. This is an invitation to be in dialogue.  Enjoy this sneak peek of our special two-part episode, and subscribe to Seedcast today so you can be the first to listen to both episodes when they come out. For this special collaboration, Gabbra community shared recordings of their songs and celebrations along with the lands and animals they shepherd.

“I lost a schoolgirl. Eleven-year-old. My first-born daughter. She was just killed in cold blood – simply because of her ethnicity.” Marsabit in Kenya is a frontier district which borders Ethiopia. Because it's arid, water is scarce – and over the years the two main communities living there have clashed over resources and politics. But now the violence has reached a new level: with children and city dwellers killed. There's concern that weapons and disputes are being imported from across the border with Ethiopia. So the government has introduced a month long curfew – and a police operation, backed by the army - to search for and confiscate the illegal arms. It says it's concerned the weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists. In response to allegations that they've used excessive force during the crackdown, the Kenyan Police Service has asked for the community's patience, while the interior minister stressed that the operation would be ‘painful but necessary'. Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja spoke to the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza during his visit to the area. Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja)

This episode examines how bans and increased regulation in above ground industries under the stated intent of “stopping the spread of COVID-19” have led to new forms of illicit trade in Eastern and Southern Africa. In Somalia donations of personal and ventilators have been misappropriated for profit and a ban on Khat threatens to destabilize the lives of growers and sellers in Kenya. In South Africa a ban on tobacco is exposing the tobacco industries participation in the black market.  Presenter: Lindy Mtongana Guests https://twitter.com/AbdulBillowAli?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (Abdulaziz Billow Ali) - Journalist/TV Correspondent CGTN Africa https://twitter.com/telitasnyckers?lang=en (Telita Snyckers) - Illicit Trade Expert, former tax lawyer for the South African Revenue Services (SARS) https://twitter.com/dalle22?lang=en (Dalle Abraham) - Dalle Abraham is a writer based in Marsabit, Kenya. https://twitter.com/puntlandpirates?lang=en (Jay Bahadur) - Journalist and author Documents https://globalinitiative.net/esaobs-risk-bulletin-9/ (Risk Bulletin #9) Global Initiative Producer: Alexandria Sahai Williams

Human-wildlife conflict is a growing problem in Kenya today, and it has a huge negative impact on both human and wildlife populations. It happens when there is close interaction between wild animals and human beings, which leads to injury, death, predation and transmission of diseases. In February 2019, Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) issued a notice to the public that the dry spell being experienced in most parts of the country was displacing wildlife from their traditional habitats in search of pasture and water. This had increased conflict as the wildlife came into contact with the public and human activities. They said that as the dry spell progressed, the risk of human wildlife conflict was expected to increase until the country received the long rains. Areas that have experienced increased incidence of human wildlife conflict were in Narok, Taita Taveta, Laikipia, Kajiado, Meru, Mau, Marsabit, Lamu and the Mt. Kenya region. We can assume that such warnings will become more frequent in coming years. We’re joined by Susanna Maingi, a research scientist and wildlife ecologist with expertise in human-wildlife conflict, antipoaching and conservation outreach, to discuss the increasing cases of human-wildlife conflict in Kenya.
