25. Although they are small landlocked countries, I don't think they lack for population.
On that second, there has been a population explosion in recent years. I suspect your text probably wants a) because the infrastructure is mainly poor roads, but "the goods for foreign buyers" bothers me. Both countries are 80 percent very inefficent agruculture, producing little. AT one time coffee was a major crop, and was exported. The years of genocide destroyed that production. Whilst the country still has the capability to be a major coffee exporter, the country lacks the will to organize agriculture into a profitable enterprise. This would require better roads, if they ever got it together in Government and culture focus on getting coffee produced and sold. I would go with answer a), as the others are clearly off base for those two countries.
One of my ex-students and her husband are now missionaries stationed there, and have been there almost ten years.
Thank you both

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the information provided. The question is asking about the focus of movement in Kenya for centuries.
To find the answer, we need to examine the given choices:
a. lands of Northern Kenya
b. northeast coastal lands of Kenya
c. fertile lands of the central highlands on either side of the Great Rift Valley
d. lands in the north and the northeast of the country
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider historical and geographical factors.
Over centuries, the movement of people in Kenya has been driven by factors such as resources, climate, and land suitability for agriculture.
Choice a, lands of Northern Kenya, may not be the correct answer because historically, northern Kenya has been sparsely populated due to its harsh climate and limited resources.
Choice b, northeast coastal lands of Kenya, might not be the correct answer either. Although the coastal region has been important for trade and cultural exchange, it may not represent the primary focus of movement in Kenya for centuries.
Choice c, fertile lands of the central highlands on either side of the Great Rift Valley, is a plausible option. This area is known for its favorable climate, fertile soil, and agricultural productivity. The presence of the Great Rift Valley has also contributed to the settlement and movement of people in this region.
Choice d, lands in the north and the northeast of the country, is similar to choice a and may not be the primary focus of movement in Kenya for centuries.
Given this information, a reasonable answer would be choice c, the fertile lands of the central highlands on either side of the Great Rift Valley.
Therefore, based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is c. fertile lands of the central highlands on either side of the Great Rift Valley.
