The rains came.
Kagaheki, Minister for Natural Resources and
Tourism, resigned for Christmas and this was celebrated in Loliondo.
OBC isn’t doing anything at all (?)
In NCA Kakesio´s problem with the Friedkin
group of companies continues and the NCAA isn’t doing much about it.
Thomson Safaris continue occupying Maasai land and
presenting it as a model for community-based tourism, and again physically
assault people who resist the occupation by grazing.
NGOs like Frankfurt
Zoological Society and the Honeyguide Foundation excel in negative influence.
The dry

raining seriously and the grass sprouted.
I’ve got some information about the latest land

blog post is delayed since it unfortunately takes some effort to get exact
information, and some issues still have to wait to be written about.
