Kenya is located in the tropical monsoon zone, with plains along the coast that receive ample rainfall, highlands in the middle, and desert in the north.
Due to its rich mineral resources, it was incorporated into the domain of the Austrian Colonial Government years ago, but the real development has only been along the coastal plains, with other areas being under nominal rule only.
Kenya is bordered by Somalia to the east, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and touches Ethiopia and South Sudan to the north, with the southeastern shore lying along the Indian Ocean.
Because of its unique geographic location, local commercial trade in Kenya prospered suddenly after the outbreak of the Second Ethiopian War.
Every day, a huge amount of goods flowed into the Ethiopian region. The Ethiopian Army had been able to hold out until now, greatly due to this trade route.
