Mombasa (Kenya)
Mombasa is a small island situated on the
Eastern side of Kenya (sort of within Kenya).
It was an important sea port.
In 1837 the island was seized by Seyyid Said of Oman and annexed to Zanzibar.
In 1887 the Sultan of Zanzibar relinquished the port of Mombasa to British administration.
It was occupied by the imperial British East Africa Company and for the following two decades was the capital of British East Africa.
