Mombasa Republic

The Mombasa Republic is a proposed state that encompasses the Coast Province of Kenya. The Mombasa Republican Council in the main organisation to raise claims that Mombasa should secede from Kenya to become an independent state.

The slogan they are using is Pwani Si Kenya ("The Coast is not Kenya").[1][2][3]

History

The Mombasa Republican Council was formed in 1999 to address perceived political and economic discrimination against the people of the coast province.[4] The group traces its secession claims to the 1895 and 1963 agreements transferring the ten-mile strip of land along the coast to Kenya's Government from Zanzibar. Some critics characterize these British agreements as a form of bribery designed to facilitate colonization of the interior. The group contests these agreements as invalid because the British Government enacted them without the consent of coastal stakeholders claiming that the state of Kenya has failed to honor the provisions designed to protect the coastal population.[5]
