Uganda
Uganda is in the central part of Africa, near the equator. It became independent in 1962. Until then it had been a British protectorate. The area of Uganda is 93, 981 square miles. About ten million people live there.
Uganda is a land of mountains, lakes and plains. Mount Ruwenzori is in a mountain range with peaks above 16,700 feet. The chief rivers are the Victoria Nile and Albert Nile, branches of the great Nile River.
Almost all the people of Uganda are African black people of various tribes. The Bugandas are most powerful and their language is semi-official, but there are more Bantus—the people who live in the north from another group. Nearly everyone understands the Swahili language.
Most of the people are farmers. There are some wandering tribes that raise livestock, workers in the few factories, and miners. Important crops are coffee, tea, cotton, oil seeds, sugar, sisal, maize, and peanuts. The rich mineral deposits are not mined, except tin and apatite.
The climate is usually very hot. The many wild animals include the elephant, buffalo, hippopotamus, and crocodile.
Uganda is a republic and a member of the British Commonwealth. It has a National Assembly, a prime minister, and a president. But since independence there has been much political trouble, which has been caused by sectional and tribal rivalries.
Uganda is surrounded by Kenya, Sudan, Zaire, and Tanzania. Lake Victoria lies in the south of Uganda. It is one of the largest lakes in Africa shared by several countries.
Kenya
Kenya is a nation in East Africa that became independent in 1963 after being controlled by Great Britain for more than 75 years. It has an area of 225,000 square miles, and its population is twelve million. Nearly all of the people are African blacks. The largest group being the Kikiyu tribe, but in 1973 there were 270,321 Kenyans who were white Europeans or from India.
The central part of Kenya is high and level, 3,000 to 6,000 feet above the sea. Here the climate is cool and comfortable. The seacoast of Kenya is hot and damp. There are three big rivers, the Juba, the Tana and the Sabaski. In central Kenya, there is an extinct volcano 17, 040 feet high. The equator runs through Kenya.
Most of the people are farmers. In central Kenya they grow grains and bananas; along the coast they grow rice, coffee, cotton, tobacco, and ninny tropical crops such as coconuts, cinnamon, pineapples, sugar cane, vanilla, and dates. There are big forests yielding rubber, timber and olives. The mountains produce gold, marble and other stones. Many tourists go to Kenya for big-game hunting.
Great Britain took control of Kenya in 1886 and sent settlers there. In 1920 Kenya became a British colony. But the native Kenyans wanted independence and about 1950 a group called the Mau Mau began a campaign to drive the British out. h won its independence through free elections. It is a member of the British Commonwealth.
Kenya’s neighboring countries are Somali, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Kenya also shares Lake Victoria.
Zaire
Zaire is an independent country in central equatorial Africa. Prior to its independence in 1960, Zaire was a Belgian colony and was called the Belgian Congo. After its independence, the country has undergone several years of political upheavals. In 1966, political stability was achieved and the country was renamed Zaire.
Zaire is rich in tropical vegetation, mineral resources, and abundant wildlife. The country is 905, 328 square miles in size, and is subdivided into nine provinces. The country’s population is primarily Blacks. They represent more than 200 different Bantu tribes. They speak many different languages but Swahili is widely used.
Zaire depends mainly on agriculture and mining for its livelihood. Efforts are being made to expand industry: in the country. Many of the people are farmers, and they raise cotton, rubber, bananas, and coffee for export. Corn and sweet potatoes are grown for eating. Mining is important, and many people work in rich uranium, copper, and diamond mines.
Geographically, Zaire is made up of a low plateau in the center, which is surrounded by higher land. The central region is tropical rainforest and contains valuable wood such as mahogany. Also from the forest, the country receives rubber, palm oil, and nuts. The animal life of Zaire includes lions, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and other species. The Zaire. River is one of the longest rivers in the world. Zaire borders many countries such as Uganda, Angola, Zambia, Sudan, and Central African Republic.
