Loliondo and Ngorongoro Attacked from Every Angle, and People Have Spoken Up

 

The Tanzanian government must stop threatening and abusing the Maasai of Ngorongoro District, whether it’s for the old “Loliondogate” issue in Loliondo and Sale Division and the hunters’ wish for a “protected area”, or for the even older wish to for the love of tourism money further dispossess and strangle those in Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Now the Arusha RC John Mongella must backtrack on his (the government’s) terrible threat described in the previous blog post.

The Arusha RC Sends a Message that the Government Must Grab Land in Loliondo to Please Investor for the Broader Interest of the Nation – He can Forget About it!

 

The Tanzanian government is again preparing to grab grazing land in Loliondo for the benefit of the “investor” and this time it’s the Arusha Regional Commissioner who’s been sent as the messenger. Let’s stop any such plan!

 

The RC was also expected to drop a terrible message about Ngorongoro Conservation Area. He didn’t, but let’s prepare to stop that as well!

 

The enemies of the Maasai are very repetitive, but don’t let that divert your focus. There is a pattern of violence from authorities when local leaders are weak and ready to compromise, and when the rains fail and the dry season turns terrible, like now, but for some reason the Maasai are leavened up and ready to defend their land, after years of lying flat.

 

The Osero will never be grabbed!

The president appoints a human rights criminal as head of TANAPA

Despite credible information beforehand the RC was silent about NCA

Update: on 21^st January the villages of Ololosokwan, Kirtalo, Oloirien, and Arash filed an application in the East African Court of Justice.

In Malambo there were very worrying developments.

I’ll write a new blog post as soon as I’ve got more details.

 

A Reminder, Recent Activities, and New Fears about Loliondo and NCA

 

This brief blog post was supposed to be published before the end of 2021, but I’ve lacked focus, had some computer problems, and most importantly - waited in vain for more detailed information about various issues, like several meetings by the enemies of the Maasai of Ngorongoro and Loliondo. Though now it looks like there could be a new post quite soon, and that’s not good.
