I’m a large scale ecologist and have lived in kenya since 1965. Great idea, but most effective if incidents can be linked to visualize and solve patterns of civil disturbance. Like the use of the Kabolet forest in Cherengani to shelter armed cattle raiders and follow them to points of disposal, Nairobi, Uganda and S. Sudan. Nation 6 March 08 connects this with Sabaot Land defence force killing 100’s displacing tens of 1000s and stealing over 30000 cattle in Trans Nzoia E. Districs during post election violence.
In last 2 years over 40000 cattle have been raided from south west Samburu and N west Laikipia By armed gangs from The same forest shelters. over 100 Samburu have been killed.
Guns and Lorry transport are supplied by unknamed “tycoons from Kaplamai and Cheptargai. Photo info is not often possible. But
places, names and times and extent of losses that can be mapped can help locate and publicize the terrible patterns of these related cases of violence. Best regards Mike
