Part of a series of Official British Government reports and memoranda relating to East, West, South and Central Africa. this is no. 3 (1890-1891). The report was carried out by command of the Queen and presented to both Houses of Parliament. The report counts 29 telegraphed messages on the current affairs in Muslim Witu (now Kenia). Sultan Ahmad ibn Fumo Bakari had agreed upon a protectorate by the Prussians in 1858, which lasted until 1890 when under the rule of his son Sultan Fumo Bakari ibn Ahmad the British took over control with the Heligoland-Zanzibar Treaty. Feeling betrayed, the Witu population violently revolted against the Germans. The results of this is reflected in the report, informing of many murders of Germans and looting of German estates and ultimately the capture of Witu by the British.
