  • Why Kenya Should Be Restructured into Tribal States – Rethinking Nationhood in Africa, Part 1
    2024/10/30

    In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the complex issue of nationhood, exploring how Kenya’s colonial-era borders have influenced its political landscape and fueled enduring ethnic tensions. As we examine the contrasting foundations of statehood in Europe and Africa, we question whether the current model—rooted in boundaries imposed by colonial powers—serves Kenya’s diverse population effectively. Could restructuring Kenya into ethnic-based states offer a more equitable path forward?

    Join us as we trace Kenya’s colonial history, analyze the unique challenges of building unity in a multi-ethnic state, and uncover lessons from European nation-states that developed through ethnic self-determination. We’ll also touch on post-Soviet transitions and how these examples reveal both the risks and rewards of aligning state structures with ethnic identities. This episode kicks off our multi-part series on rethinking nationhood in Africa, setting the stage for a deeper conversation about Kenya’s political future.
