As so many times before, much of the focus (now obscured by needing to write about multiple other issues) of this horribly delayed blog post is to explain what a game controlled area is. This is important, since the government’s lies are so much centred on creating confusion around what such an area is. Now a government notice deregistering all wards, villages, and sub-villages in Ngorongoro division (not Loliondo/Sale) has been found, the government keeps spiralling into total insanity and I must publish this blog post and write a new one about Ngorongoro Conservation Area and massive manifestations since 18th August (to some extent also covered in this post). Updates at the end.
The crime by the Tanzanian government against the Maasai continues in Loliondo with almost all dry season grazing land in 2022 brutally stolen to create a game reserve lobbied for by OBC that organizes hunting for Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai. While operation of the illegal game reserve is suspended by the High Court until determination of the case, the government continues in contempt of court. The most dangerous enemies of the Loliondo Maasai (after the Tanzanian government), namely UAE and Germany, keep using charity as a weapon of war.
In Ngorongoro
Conservation Area – not to be confused with Loliondo/Sale - the
restrictions, denial of permits, withholding of funds for social services, and
harassment, including not allowing opposition party meetings – all with the aim
of making the Maasai relocate far away to other people’s land, while applying
terra nullius/GCA lies to the people supposed to accommodate the Ngorongoro
Maasai. Some of the Msomera villagers suffering this invasion have again spoken
up.
It's been revealed that all voters register update/polling stations have been removed from Ngorongoro division (Ngorongoro Conservation Area, not to be confused with Loliondo/Sale), and Ngorongoro residents find themselves registered in Msomera village in Handeni.
Now former Minister
Kairuki did not want anyone to talk about the leaked presentation proposing four
new game reserves, just in the northern zone, so I must remind about that
horror. Meanwhile, there’s more imminent land alienation all over Tanzania.
At least the
European Commission has started to understand what’s going on and removed
Tanzania as eligible for an 18-million-euro project.
The almost
purposefully hidden new case against the horrible land grabber Thomson Safaris is finally
coming along.
A statement
by the Tanzania Tour Operators’ Association combines support for and denial of
the government’s crimes and makes the case for a total tourism boycott clearer
than ever.
On 14th
August, President Samia returned the human rights criminal Pindi Chana to head
the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism.
18th August
dawned with massive manifestations and blocking of the Ngorongoro-Serengeti
road. These protests continue. I hope to very shortly publish a blog post about the disenfranchisement
and protests in NCA (not to be confused with Loliondo/Sale), but it’s
covered in this very lengthy one too.
A new age-set
was introduced on the Ngorongoro Crater floor. Welcome Irmegoliki!
