More on Land Reform

August 24th, 2004 | by aobaoill |

Following on from my last post on the topic, it seems that tension is rising in Kenya:

A 70-year-old Maasai farmer has been shot dead in Kenya as tension mounts over tribal land rights. Police killed the man in Nanyuki, 40 kilometres north of the capital, Nairobi, as he attempted to force his cattle onto private land. Observers say armed Maasai tribespeople had brought thousands of animals with them. The Maasai are demanding the return of land they say they leased to British colonists a century ago.
