Faza is a small town on the North coast on Pate Island, within the Lamu Archipelago in Kenya's former Coast Province. Faza was known by the name of Ampaza by the Portuguese dates back at least to the 14th century. In 1587 Faza was destroyed by the Portuguese as the local Sheikh had supported Mir Ali Beg, a notorious privateer who had earlier played a key role in ousting the Portuguese from Muscat. The Portuguese arrived from Goa with some 650 men on their punitive expedition, and unleashed their fury on Faza. Everybody they could find was killed, including the local Sheikh. The Portuguese preserved his head in a barrel of salt for display in India. After 4 days of looting they invited Fazas arch-rivals from Pate town to take away anything that they liked from Faza.

  • Faza estas setlejo sur la norda marbordo de la insulo Pate, ene de la insularo Lamu en la iama Marborda Provinco de Kenjo. Faza estis konata laŭ la nomo Ampaza fare de portugaloj date el almenaŭ la 14a jarcento. En 1587 Faza estis detruita de portugaloj ĉar la loka ŝejĥo estis apoganta Mir Ali Beg, fama korsaro kiu estis ludanta ŝlosilan rolon en la forigo de la portugaloj el Maskato. Portugaloj venis el Goa kun ĉirkaŭ 650 homoj por puniga ekspedicio, kaj kolere atakis per furio al Faza. Ĉiu kiun ili trafis estis mortigita, inklude la lokan ŝejĥon. La portugaloj konservis sian kapon en barelo da salo por montrado en Hindio. Post 4 tagoj de rabado, ili invitis la rivalojn de Faza el Pate por ke ili prenu tion kion ili deziros el Faza. (eo)

The Portuguese preserved his head in a barrel of salt for display in India. After 4 days of looting they invited Fazas arch-rivals from Pate town to take away anything that they liked from Faza. Faza was later resettled. The Portuguese in Faza constructed a chapel there, however, nothing remains of it. In the 18th century Faza again fell into decline due to the rise of Pate. The English Consul Holmwood visited the place in 1873 and found it "dirty and infected with diseases". On 5 September 2009, a tragic fire took place, destroying 430 houses leaving 2500 homeless. The Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) have provided housing and thousands of items of emergency needs, including blankets, sanitation equipment, tanker loads of water etc., to some of those affected. The French government has funded a hospital, complete with theatre. This has removed the need for the 4 hour boat trip to Lamu in emergencies. The cost was KSh.9.5 million/= for the construction and a further KSh.3.9 million/= for theatre equipment. The KRCS have spent a further KSh.23 million/= on wells and food supplies. (en)
