It is lovely Mombasa been there early 1990s as refugees from Somalia,my wife liked the city still my kids are there may God Bliss Mombasa and it's people
History still tells . Thank you so much Bamariz.Mombasa Raha. I can still remember all the places Shown , home is home . Angeonyesha mpaka picha za Mzizima na Shimanzi etc. Mombasa was a paradise city and a very cool place. No stress .Kwa Raha zao. We mis a lot of Msa . Peace . Pamoja.🙏
nzuri mambasa na Zanzibar ilikua ngome ya masultani kabla hajafurugwa na Portugal na masheytani British ni jiji la kihistoria ndo maana mtu akitebea msa kamwe hatasahau atakumbukagatu si mchezo
Sasa ulitaka Mwarabu atuuze? paka waleo amatumrudishae Makufuli tz ? Kwanza sikiliza huyo Msic kulikuwa uzuni umetanda kilakona ya Africa si Wazungu si Wapochogisi na Waharabu .kufanya Kazi na kupikwa mijeledi Watu wengi walikufa wakijenga helo Daraja la Gongoweya 😭😭😭22 .9.2028 tuwache ibaki History Emungu saidi Kenya
This is the thinking that keeps wapwani lost. Mdundo wetu ni wa mijikenda, mavazi na dini ni ya kiarabu, mapishi mengi ni ya kihindi, lugha ni ya kibantu na kwetu ni papo lakini tukiitwa waafrika ni kama tulotukanwa. Amkeni nduzangu!
Before I moved to the south coast for work in 1987, I lived in Ganjoni with my Indian friends. It was the best time of my life, in a (then) beautiful oriental city.
You should have them properly catalogued....and organise appropriate liaison with the National Museums and Archival Agencies for due preservation of these historically significant materials for the future generations, research and social studies and exhibitions
I hope you can Copyright these photos and make some nice Enlarged sizes for sale. In the US they have them enlarged and printed on board for display in City restaurants, museums and other points of interests. Kindly take my $$$$ suggestion.
yaani wataka sema hayo meno ya ndovu docks yalikuwepo tangu 50s, dah,,,yastajaabisha kweli. kisha bondenin ya kitambo ilikuwa nyamavu...I highly doubt siku hizo kulikuwa na hili joto la leo
One very interesting story I've heard about the origin of the name, there apparently was one extra large "Mwembe" tree among other regular sized "miembe" trees that stood where shell petrol station now stands. It was a major landmark and the point at which traders and merchants venturing inland would meet up with their porters and the starting point for their caravans. The interesting bit is that what made this landmark renown was not it's mammoth size but rather the fact that it had one VERY unique trait - it bore fruit all round the year with no regard to month or season! There were ripe mangoes dangling from its branches throughout the year and hence the name "Mwembe tiyari". Can't confirm on the authenticity of this tale but I thought it was quite interesting.
😀😀😭😭😭😭😭😀😀 nalia Na furaha , sikuwa Zama hizo , nilikuwa sijazaliwa , kweli MSA ilikuwa mji mtulivu Na wenye amani , lakini sasa Zama hizi ,🤔🤔🤔 Allahu Akbar
there's nothing cool or great about these photo's all you see is colonialism from portuguese to arab to finally british the real shame is how the real local culture of Kenyans was wiped out with no regard for anything
Maneno yako yamejaa chuki na watu woote. Hao waarabu unao wasema ndio mwanzo kuishi pwani yote. Peke yao. Ethnic africans wakati huo sio mijikenda bali ni watu waitwa Bushman wanao hama hama wala si kwao. Mijikenda walikuja baadae sana. Wazungu walifika pole pole kama biashara halafu wakatawal. Pwani ki history ni ya waarabu. Sasa twaikubali new kenya ni ya woote. Usibague mtu.
Musidanganye na historia za kirongo mombasa ni miongoni mwa himaya/sehemu ya mijikenda wengine wote walifanya kukaribishwa na sasa kwa sababu za kibinafsi na kibaguzi ndio mana wanadai kuwa wenyeji asili Lakini kuna ushahidi wakutosha unao wanyamazisha.mwanzo ni jina lenyewe MOMBASA ' ningeoba wale walio tugeukia na kutusaliti baada ya kuwakaribisha watuambie maana yake ni nini.pili kama waarabu ndio wenyeji asili wa mombasa na wenyeji wa bara arabu ni wakinanani.kama wareno, wachina, wazungu wote walikuja kabla yenu na walikubali kurudi kwao hilo ni hakikisho kuwa wana zipenda nchi zao.Sisi wenyeji tuna elewa kwanini hamtaki kurudi kwenu ndio tukaamua kuwa hifathi.
Friends, we need to realize that Mau Mau only fought for the liberation of Bantu(Kamba, Kikuyu) land. Everyone else around us hasn't fought for anything. The only real successful black state that is self-sufficient is central Kenya, that's it.
wakikuyu wa central walikuwa wakipigania mashamba yao bali sio uhuru wa nchi. Walikuwa hawajui kama kuna nchi yaitwa kenya, walikuwa wakipigania mashamba na hata wale waliopigania haki zao; pia wao waliiba na kunyakua ardhi
So who fought against Portuguese invasion on the Coast in the 1700s? Who fought against the Oman? Kikuyus also? If the people of the coast didn’t fight against Portugal, you wouldn’t even be speaking English right now!

Mombasa ilikuwa ni mombasa kweli kulikuwa kimya wala hakuna uwizi wala kuuwana bt saa hii mombasa imevamiwa na mijitu mibaya ila itabaiki kuwa stori
Au history.
Masha ALLAH mombasa ilikuwa nzuri kabla watwana hawajakuja.
Good old days of mombasa....wish i go back in time.
Truly nostalgic indeed - thanks for sharing.
nzuri mambasa na Zanzibar ilikua ngome ya masultani kabla hajafurugwa na Portugal na masheytani British ni jiji la kihistoria ndo maana mtu akitebea msa kamwe hatasahau atakumbukagatu si mchezo
Ma ashAlla great history photos
I love Mombasa raha African way of Life soon to visit my favorite city
Kweli pwani si kenya
Sasa ulitaka Mwarabu atuuze? paka waleo amatumrudishae Makufuli tz ? Kwanza sikiliza huyo Msic kulikuwa uzuni umetanda kilakona ya Africa si Wazungu si Wapochogisi na Waharabu .kufanya Kazi na kupikwa mijeledi Watu wengi walikufa wakijenga helo Daraja la Gongoweya 😭😭😭22 .9.2028 tuwache ibaki History Emungu saidi Kenya
Si Kenya kabisa
@@jahadibrahimtv7958 Mombasa ni Bangladesh Rawalpindi Oman na pia warabu wa kuuza waafrika sio?
This is the thinking that keeps wapwani lost. Mdundo wetu ni wa mijikenda, mavazi na dini ni ya kiarabu, mapishi mengi ni ya kihindi, lugha ni ya kibantu na kwetu ni papo lakini tukiitwa waafrika ni kama tulotukanwa. Amkeni nduzangu!
Old days no visa no rules just living anywhere you like that racist book called Passport that made people good or bad
Kweli Mombasa mji wazama zakale zilizopita
Yaani inapendeza ajabu kupata fursa ya kuona picha hizi za kale. Ama kweli maisha.....Alhamdullilah
Thanks 😍

Surely you need to acknowledge the source of these photos...? And surely not just one "amateur" photographer.... 😉
I see several postcards too !
its funny it still looks the same ..
True not so much development has taken place
Kweli Mungu tumetoka Bali London locked.
😀😀😭😭😭😭😭😀😀 nalia Na furaha , sikuwa Zama hizo , nilikuwa sijazaliwa , kweli MSA ilikuwa mji mtulivu Na wenye amani , lakini sasa Zama hizi ,🤔🤔🤔 Allahu Akbar
Mji mtulivu kweli? Sio kulingana na hadithi nilizoziskia kuhusu asili ya jina Mvita - jina rasmi ya kisiwa kile zama za kabla ya ukoloni.
Nikitambo. Mimi. Nilikuwa. Sijazaliwa
Sikiza wewe rudi Omani , Yameni Paskitani ama India hapo ni BLACK EMPIRE KWA WA AFRIKA nywele ngumu .
We want our country mombasa back
You mean Oman, Pakistan, India and Yamen. If you came by DHOW you can look for it . You found AFRICAN LAND HERE.
Hii Maisha ya Kitambo ni tamu.
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪👋👋👋
Dedicate to my Nasarpuria (Maeit) Community of Mombasa .
Interesting, who are they? Never heard of them before
Was there for uhuru
mombasa sio kenya
Kweli sio Kenya Mombasa labda ni Bangladesh ama Jaipur ama Rawalpindi
there's nothing cool or great about these photo's all you see is colonialism from portuguese to arab to finally british the real shame is how the real local culture of Kenyans was wiped out with no regard for anything
no one can take your culture and tradition from you. You chose to leave it for Western cultures yourselves. Wahenga walinena "akatae asili ni mtumwa"
Maneno yako yamejaa chuki na watu woote. Hao waarabu unao wasema ndio mwanzo kuishi pwani yote. Peke yao. Ethnic africans wakati huo sio mijikenda bali ni watu waitwa Bushman wanao hama hama wala si kwao. Mijikenda walikuja baadae sana. Wazungu walifika pole pole kama biashara halafu wakatawal. Pwani ki history ni ya waarabu. Sasa twaikubali new kenya ni ya woote. Usibague mtu.
Sasa imekuwa ya waafrika.... waarabu waonekana maadui..... but we will be on track one day history repeats its self as said
Musidanganye na historia za kirongo mombasa ni miongoni mwa himaya/sehemu ya mijikenda wengine wote walifanya kukaribishwa na sasa kwa sababu za kibinafsi na kibaguzi ndio mana wanadai kuwa wenyeji asili Lakini kuna ushahidi wakutosha unao wanyamazisha.mwanzo ni jina lenyewe MOMBASA ' ningeoba wale walio tugeukia na kutusaliti baada ya kuwakaribisha watuambie maana yake ni nini.pili kama waarabu ndio wenyeji asili wa mombasa na wenyeji wa bara arabu ni wakinanani.kama wareno, wachina, wazungu wote walikuja kabla yenu na walikubali kurudi kwao hilo ni hakikisho kuwa wana zipenda nchi zao.Sisi wenyeji tuna elewa kwanini hamtaki kurudi kwenu ndio tukaamua kuwa hifathi.
Kenya ilikuwa haijulakani wakati hizo.
Friends, we need to realize that Mau Mau only fought for the liberation of Bantu(Kamba, Kikuyu) land. Everyone else around us hasn't fought for anything. The only real successful black state that is self-sufficient is central Kenya, that's it.

That doesn’t really matter now
So who fought against Portuguese invasion on the Coast in the 1700s? Who fought against the Oman? Kikuyus also? If the people of the coast didn’t fight against Portugal, you wouldn’t even be speaking English right now!
On the contrary many letters written by the resistance exist that ask for the freedom of Kenya as a whole.
@@mbajuni agreed. The Swahili were long a strong sea defense of the Coast. Either through war or assimilation have managed to persevere to date.
