The young were once considered relatively safe from HIV/AIDS. Today, more than half of all new infections strike people under the age of 25. Girls are hit harder and younger than boys. Infant and child death rates have risen sharply, and 14 million children are now orphans because of the disease. The world's two billion children and adolescents are at the center of the HIV/AIDS crisis. And yet they are the ones who offer the greatest hope for defeating the epidemic.
The Portuguese arrived in the 1490s and were driven out in the late 17th century. In 1890, Germany and Great Britain divided the region, with Great Britain taking the north and the Germans taking the south. The British established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895, which became a colony in 1920 and named Kenya after its highest mountain. Numerous political disputes between the colony and Great Britain subsequently led to the violent Mau Mau uprising that began in 1952 and finally led to the declaration of independence in 1963. And now there is also an Austrian in Kenya. That can't be a good sign!
