The brutal
and lawless occupation of 1,500 km2 of legally registered village
land in Loliondo and Sale Divisions of Ngorongoro District for an illegal
“Pololeti Game Reserve” just goes on. The massive loss of grazing land and
illegal seizure of livestock with extortionate “fines” keep deepening poverty. Oriais
Oleng'iyo who was last seen on 10th June, wounded by bullets and
held by security forces, has not been brought back to his family. Leaders keep
hiding in fear after the over five-month abduction on bogus charges of all
councillors, except one who fled, together with people suspected of sharing
information. Nobody has been allowed to rebuild their houses in the 1,500 km2.
Stolen motorbikes and smartphones have not been returned. The illegally planted
beacons have not been uprooted. President Samia’s lawless Government Notice
No.604 has not been shredded to pieces. The demented tourism cult and
anti-pastoralism still holds the government in thrall. Stop this crime! Punish
everyone involved and all those silently supporting it!
To rub salt
into the wounds, the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights has made a
visit to Ngorongoro, Loliondo and Msomera, totally co-opted by the government.
The Tanzanian government controlled every move, only by accident did some
victims of land theft and human rights violations get a space to tell their
woes. In Loliondo the Commission was prevented from meeting any victims at
all, and those were victims who thought that their prayers had been heard
and that finally someone would come to their rescue. We are waiting for the Commission’s
final report.
Then the NCAA
board of directors descended salivating over the stolen “goldmine”.
A tourist
boycott is necessary.
