    Mombasa is beautiful in its own way. I would absolutely not want to see Nairobi-like highrise buildings in Mombasa because that would take away what the city is all about. It is an old city that developed way before all this modernity that is in Nairobi and it preserves very important history as it is. And btw, you'll realize that you need sunglasses and a cap while in Mombasa.

    Mosf of the people in Mombasa are actually Christian. Contra to what people assume. Muslims are not the majority there but there is a presence of them there. Arabic is common to Islam, but that does not make it a common language in Coastal Kenya. Even, Kiswahili is a Bantu language with a SMALL influence from Arabic, German, Portuguese, Persian and English because of trade. Let's not be carried away by false narratives spread over the years. Coastal Kenya is dominated by Kenyan Coastal Bantus who are the original inhabitors of the Coastline. Other people/groups only arrived through trade and settled but never outnumbered the locals.

      I'd say it's 60-40 in favor of Muslims. The electoral representation is normally a reflection of the religious dynamics of a place. Almost all MPs and MCAs in Mombasa are Muslims, so are the governor, senator and women rep. Malindi county is where we have a Christian majority.

    • @sheqel10
      @sheqel10 Před rokem

      I beg to differ with all due respect, I have read many of your responses in many clips, u strongly defend Kenya, quick to dismiss rumours and hearsays, very patriotic. I applaud u bro. On Islam, Mombasa is predominantly Muslim, I have lived here and done demographic research., it is indeed a Muslim city and the entire coastal strip. Christianity ndio imeanza kushika, and the wave is moving strong with watu bara migrating in droves to coast, unfortunately through funny churches in Mishomoroni, along Bamburi Kisauni, etc, the "nakurudishia nyota yako or kuinua madhabao doctrine" type, so unfortunate.., I know Mombasa inside out, to the core hadi kwa shrines and MRC (Mombasa republican council) even the current leader is my buddy from mreroni...,

    • @esem135
      @esem135 Před rokem +6

      @@sheqel10 Thanks. Census 2019: Kenya had a Muslim population of roughly 5.6 million people, according to the last country census conducted in 2019. Nearly 50 percent of individuals adhering to Islam lived in the Northern-East counties of Mandera (856.5 thousand people), Garissa (815.8 thousand people), and Wajir (767.3 thousand people). Overall, around 10 percent of Kenya's population identified as Muslim. For Mombasa County 450.7 thousand people are Muslim. Comparisons show that in Mombasa, Christians and Muslims (59% and 41%, respectively). According to the 2019 census, there are significantly more Christians (2.4 million) than Muslims (1.6 million) in the six counties of the coast. The government estimates as of 2019 approximately 85.5 percent of the total population in Kenya is Christian and 11 percent Muslim. The thing with Mombasa and the Coastal towns, there are pockets of heavy concentration of Muslims e.g if you go to Old Town all you will see is Muslims, but that is not representative of entire Mombasa County. Muslims in Kenya generally are a small population.
