of Mwakenya, the organization started in June 1982 and the name
MWAKENYA was coined on 1 February 1985 in preparation for a unity
conference (ibid., Sept. 1987, 16). This source states that
Various patriotic Kenyan political organisations united and
formalized MWAKENYA, (an acronym for: MUUNGANO WA WAZALENDO WA
KUKOMBOA KENYA - UNION OF PATRIOTS FOR THE LIBERATION OF KENYA)
(ibid., 17).

not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
