They were even ruled for over 100yrs as part of the omani empire. They were exposed to the rest of the world unlike inland kenya which was discovered "just the other day" (1890s). The coast should be east africa's "french riviera". But alas the coast claims to be a marginalized and undeveloped region even after being exposed to "civilisation" for over 500yrs.

Mackinac island is a tourist centered island, cars or motorbikes are not allowed you move around in horse carriage or bicycle. Some hotels require patrons to dress appropriately during dinner. Somehow i feel like historical sites at the coast have been mismanaged and are so unkept esp fort jesus and the ruins (I know they are not in Lamu) but surely the ministry should have a serious team who's main purpose is to restore these sites eg old town Lamu It's the locals mindset. There you have a people who are so determined to keep their little town beautiful clean and attractive by obeying the law.A town where law is applied without fear,greed or favour.A town where breaking the law attracts punishment.People just love their town as they love themselves. Now take a bunch of Kenyans and place them on this island then come back after 6 months. You will wonder whether you just landed in Migingo or hell. i.e if you will be lucky enough to find an access route. Truth. I got tired of watching politricks on TV so I follow certain Kenyans who have found ways of monitizing their content online. Fort Jesus Old town (Mji wa Kale) is a disgrace "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore .
