<summary type="text">Identity Crisis and Nationalism in Sudan: the Case Study of South Sudan National Movement for Statehood 1983-2005
Marco, Lueth M. K
This study explores the origin of Identity Crisis and Nationalism in Sudan, 1983-2005. The study was based on three objectives: Investigate the Anglo-Egyptian policy of separate administration for the Northern and Southern Sudan and the emergence of identity crisis in Sudan. Examine the conflict of identities between Islamic and Christian/African cultures in Sudan and assessed the impact of conflict of identity crisis between Northern and the Southern Sudan. Secondary and primary data were primarily important to carry out study. The secondary sources focused on evaluating the scholarly books, journal articles, reports by private and public institutions whereas the primary sources included newspapers, letters, minutes, and speeches. The study found out that pre-colonial and postcolonial governments in Sudan who immediately took over power from Anglo-Egyptian regime from 1955-1983 had really worked to undermine the spirit of oneness and nation building from the onset of independence of Sudan, which came into effect in 1956.The British policy of Closed Districts Ordinance which was initially meant to protect the identity of the peoples of Southern Sudan from being subjected to Islamisation and Arabisation policy employed by the Northern Sudan was deemed to have created bitter hatred between the North and South.

<summary type="text">Performance of East African Short Horned Zebu Heifers Fed on Grass Supplemented With Cassava Leaf Meal and Azolla
Korir, Benard K
A major constraint to livestock productivity in the tropics is feed availability, both quantity and quality. To improve productivity, there is need to expand the feed base through utilization of non-conventional feedstuffs. A study was done to (i) Assess and document cassava production and utilization as livestock feed in selected farms (ii) Evaluate the effect of inclusion of Cassava leaf meal and Azolla in basal grass based diets on the performance of zebu heifers and (iii) To determine the effect of supplementation with Cassava leaves and Azolla on rumen microbial diversification in zebu heifers. In the first study, a structured questionnaire was administered to 120 respondents in two sub counties of Makueni county, Kenya. The data collected included, among others, cassava production (area, varieties), constraints to production, and the use of cassava as livestock feed...

<summary type="text">The Incidence and Determinants of Job Search Channels Among Youth in Kenya
Wanyama, Sharon R
This study examined the incidence and determinants of channels used by youth in Kenya. Understanding youth choices of job search channels is important because of the possible implications of outcomes in the labour market such as employment and earnings. The study was guided by job search theory and a discrete choice model in which an individual chooses a job search method that maximizes their utility. A multinomial logit regression model was estimated to investigate how gender, labour market conditions, human capital, demographic and socio-economic status characteristics of youth looking for work in Kenya influence their search methods options. The findings from the study indicate that majority of the young people in Kenya preferred inquiring at workplaces compared to other job search methods. The level of education was a significant factor for the youth in determining the choice of method used when seeking for work. Gender, age and access to information were significant factors associated with waiting at a street-side over inquiring at workplaces. The youth aged 20-24 was also a significant factor associated with registering at employment agencies. This insights into the search behavior for employment of Kenyan youth can therefore, inform job assistance policies, programs and interventions aimed at improving youth employment outcomes.
