A boma in East Africa - a Swahili term for one or more fortified buildings. Places secured with palisade walls were also referred to with boma. Since the administrative and police headquarters were located in fortified buildings during the colonial period, the term is still used in many places today for the current - even unfortified - buildings of the local administrative headquarters. The word "bomani" (at the boma) is a common place and street name in East African cities. In the form of fortified villages or camps, bomas were commonplace in Central Africa in the 18th and 19th century. They were commonplace throughout Africa, including in areas affected by the slave trade, tribal wars and colonial conquest, and were built and used by both sides. Wood engraving, published in 1892.
