Kenya location map on the globe

Located on the equator on the east coast of Africa, Kenya is known to have protohumans roaming its territory some 20 million years ago. Rightly so, the country is often referred to as "the cradle of humanity".
Kenya declared its independence from Britain in 1963 under the leadership of its charismatic icon Jomo Kenyatta. He was succeeded in 1978 by President Daniel arap Moi, who ruled the country for 24 years. During the 70s and 80s the ruling Kenya African National Union, KANU, was the sole legal political party in the country.
MOI acceded to the violent unrest in the country as well as international pressure and restored the multi-party politics in late 1991. However Kanu rule ended only in 2002 when the opposition candidate Mwai Kibaki defeated the ruling dispensation and became president
