Initial content

Long list: List of articles all languages should have; this is around 1000 articles we should start with.

The content on those subjects in the English and French and German Wikipedias can provide help for people writing the initial Swahili articles.

Shorter lists:

• List of important Africans

  List of Tanzanian politicians

  List of Kenyan politicians

Other content suggestions are welcome.
