Fear and silence have continued into
December. In November Tanzanian soldiers could torture and chase away people,
and burn their bomas, in serious violation of interim orders issued by the East
Africa Court of Justice, while all leaders in Loliondo stayed silent – and cattle
were illegally detained on village land.
Beatings continue, and on 21st
December 12 bomas (or per other accounts 11 bomas/24 houses) were burned in the
Leken area of Kirtalo village.
This blog post has kept being unacceptably
delayed and contains some parts that may to some seem irrelevant considering currents
atrocities.
The situation is far, far too painful
and help is needed from anyone with some influence.
Update: people are again illegally arrested and I’m
working on a blog post, even if information is scarce. THRDC have published a brief news alert.
