POWER STRUGGLE IN LAMU
Вставка

- The proposed 1000 megawatt coal fired power plant in remote Lamu county of northern Kenya would have severely affected the environment, according to scientists and activists. Yet despite the danger emissions would have posed to people, mangroves and water quality along this pristine coastline, the plant had moved quickly through the approval process, until local residents got involved. They were worried about the impact on their scenic and ancient town and their health and organized a Save Lamu campaign to try and block the plant's construction. It would have been the largest emitter of CO2 gases in Kenya, but the Kenya courts have just put a stop to it, citing incomplete environmental impact assessments.

Big up to Walid
Are they going to use corrosive sea water as coolant? The plant will need a lot of maintenance as the joints corrode and leak losing steam power to the turbines. Kenya does not do maintenance well-look at Tabs and other power infrastructure!
A very comprehensive report on coal power plant Lamu.
Thanks for making us informed
Great journalism
The fuel ash will create a waste mountain with complex chemical leaching on water catchment and ground water system. The water needed to drive the steam turbines will need to come from and go to somewhere. Where from and where to
thank you sir
The land grab was what happened on the holiday strip North and south coast Mombasa that drove out the villages on the coast belonging to Chonyi, Kambe, Duruma, Kauma, Ribe, Rabai, Jibana, and Giriama. What happened to the handful of Galla villages. Where are the Gallas now?
Nchi ya watu wala watu..
Let them build it. It will fail. Let of the rest of the tax payers who are ignoring lamus plight pick the tax bill in high finance service loans the government will borrow. Look at the Chinese loans and the railway.
Thank you for this reporting. We are not sure Lamu is in northern Kenya though.
Lamu is the best of place
Wanataka tuondoke waichukue Lamu yetu
How far has the Project gone. So Far
is the plant on the island though? or the mainland?
Respect nature!
Lamu Is Somali land 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴 Inshallah it will come back one day with the rest of NFD
Lamu is a Bantu Island not Cushitic and majority of the people are Bantus the same for Mombasa it’s a Bantu island not Cushitic or Nubian how are talking an island that has no similarities with Somalia and there will be another rebellion like that the seni rebellion in Somalia like in Persia. www.worldnomads.com/explore/africa/kenya/the-swahili-coast-multicultural-lamu-island. www.self.gutenberg.org/articles/eng/Zanj
@@reinsonkibisu2056 They are the same Bantus that live in Somalia. You thought Somalia was only inhabited by ethnic Somalis?
@@billybonecollector7276 but I thought Somalis are Cushitic people who came from Egypt and Sudan but got islamized when Arabs migrated to Somalia Lamu people are people from Cameroon Congo it’s Just Congo is big or we would have arrived ages ago to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi the reason they are in Somalia is because they migrated from Northern Uganda, and Kenya into Somalia we give you your Somalis for our Bantus and you trade Oromos in Somalia for your Somalis just like we did with Arabs, Persians, and Chinese in the olden days the reason for the Zanj Bantu rebellion was because of Persian who wanted power over Bantu people Zanj are Bantus people with Arab linage no colony could colonize central Kenya, Souther Kenya, and Northern or Western Kenya same for Tanzania and won Apart from the British who needed Indians to build a railway to Uganda in fact Kenya was non as a protectorate not colony you need to understand that, and Did you know Kenya and Uganda are actually considered horn Africa to an satin extent as well Great Lake region. www.fao.org/News/2000/001004-e.htm. library.stanford.edu/africa-south-sahara/browse-country/horn-africa. www.self.gutenberg.org/articles/eng/Zanj. www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk/article/section/african-history/the-colonisation-of-kenya/. face2faceafrica.com/article/the-zanj-rebellion-of-east-african-slaves-transported-to-iraq-in-the-9th-century/amp. www.pbs.org/wonders/Episodes/Epi2/swahi_2.htm. www.nationalgeographic.org/article/people-coast/. www.medievalists.net/2019/02/zanj-revolt-slave-war-medieval-iraq/. historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistoriesResponsive.asp?historyid=ad21. uca.edu/politicalscience/dadm-project/sub-saharan-africa-region/british-kenya-1920-1963/. amp.thenationalnews.com/world/mena/black-iraqis-say-george-floyd-s-death-sheds-light-on-their-own-centuries-long-plight-1.1035137
@@reinsonkibisu2056 and Lamu became one of our settlements. And as it was said the Bantu people came from Congo/Cameron but we are historically tied to this area with the Coastal Bantu people. They live on both sides of the colonial border.
@@billybonecollector7276 but Kenya as only used to get to Uganda it was not a full colony but yes borders were drawn but Mombasa was originally called kimvita a place of war in Swahili that is why we have so many problems with Somalia but the origin of Mombasa is Swahili and Lamu is Areb, and Lamu was called AMU meaning Paternal Uncle Colloquial in Arabic the British changed i lot to Lamu, and Kimvita was changed to Mombasa, Watamu is a Swahili word that means sweet and Gentle, what is Swahili should be given to a Swahili nation like Kenya or Tanzania, and you said there also in Somalia but did you think how they got there. 🤔 and your people don’t speak Swahili Mijikenda, Pokomo, Kisi, Luyah, Taita, Kamba, Kikiyu, Meru, RMbu, Tharaka, Mberee in Kenya and you migrated from Northern Kenya. wisc.pb.unizin.org/lctlresources/chapter/swahili-dialects/. artsandculture.google.com/story/the-language-of-kenya-the-nilotic-bantu-and-cushitic-language-groups/2AJCwOhG6x7aIQ. www.historyhaven.com/APWH/unit2/africa_and_its_golden_age_of_emp.htm. www.pasteur.fr/en/research-journal/press-documents/migration-history-bantu-speaking-people-genomics-reveals-benefits-admixture-and-sheds-new-light. www.bantulingual.com/en/causes-of-bantu-migrations. stefanonegri.wordpress.com/kenya/watamu-history/
