The Kenyan farmers killed for their crops | Unreported World
Unreported World is from Kenya where tensions over food are getting deadly, as the horn of Africa suffers its worst drought in 40 years.
Reporter Seyi Rhodes travels the length of the country following herdsmen, farmers and poachers, all competing with each other to survive on a shrinking supply of fertile land.

I can't thank you enough for highlighting these issues. I was born in Laikipia and grew up facing these same challenges. There were screams and cries every night whenever bandits raided our village to steal cattle. A few of my neighbours were shot dead. These dame issues have now escalated due to the effects of climate change, droughts are now longer and more intense forcing pastoralist to travel from northern Kenya to the south looking for grazing land. I decided to be part of the solution, I went to the university and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in environmental studies and community development, thereafter I tool short courses in Regenerative Agriculture and Permaculture Design. I now work around the country helping communities restore degraded ecosystems and establishing community gardens. Help me support my community by offering long term solutions.

This, @missizpresident, is the situation: 1. there are 4 parties: settlers (mzungus. They never left.), pastoralists (Turkana, Samburu and Pokot), police and cultivators (like Wilson, the 'old dude') 2. everyone except the cultivators possesses, legally or illegally, firearms 3. Laikipia is a frontier of sorts; the highlands end and the grasslands begin. There's bound to be friction. (You may have gathered that when Wilson's wife says: 'We have no problem with them grazing.') 4. the police are like UN peacekeepers: useless at best, part of the problem else 5. Wilson and cultivators like him operate under one of these scenarios: (a) they have no idea that there exists a process to legally own a firearm, (b) they are aware that the process exists but realise that that process will take too long/cost too much etc, (c) they are under the delusion that the government, through the police, will secure them and their property or (d) there, somehow, will be peace if they do not arm

@@nikinai4374 easy, we don't want you having a heart attack. It's not as straightforward as it appears. 1. Typical colonial behaviour; classic British tactics: The land as 'duly acquired' . Natives, according to the coloniser, simply 'signed over' the right to their land. We all know that that is not the case; natives were defrauded (the Maa, for example) or simply massacred (Churchill got his hands bloody, literally. He was in Gusiiland for a while) and the land 'declared' vacant or natives were defrauded (find articles about the 'white highlands' and how natives were declared 'tenants of the crown'). Case made by the coloniser wouldn't stand even by the English common law statutes of the 1890s 2. Kenya bought back her land from the coloniser. There used to be a bank called Colonial Bank (these people have a wonderful sense of humour). Transaction was done there; probably the first loan that independent Kenya took (this one stings because my grandparents are vets of the KLFA (what the colonisers called Mau Mau) ) 3. The question of the mzungus arose during 1961-62. The unspoken consensus among Africans was that the mzungus, and the asians, should leave. Kenyatta went the other way at a meeting held in Nakuru (most of it is on YT). He could have been Idi Amin before Idi Amin but chose otherwise 4. Politics. the size of the land in question is significant by Kenyan standards. There's bound to be corruption, conflict of interests etc. Bad things happen to those that raise such questions

The pastoralists need to LEARN to TRADE their COWS for GREENS, and not act like COWS and GOATS are TROPHIES not to be sold when theyneed OTHER KINDS OF FOOD. They also need to be taught to GROW their own GRASS for DOMESTICALLY FEED their livestocks during the year, so that when there is DROUGHT theyhave HAY like White RANCHERS KEEP HAY for their LIVESTOCK throughout the WINTER-these are KNOWN ways of FEEDING LARGE herds of livestock, but there is POOR ORGANIZATION among PASTORALISTS who are NOT TAUGHT RANCH FARMING tehcniques which they NEED A SCHOOL FOR throughout those regions-they don't need to quit pastoralism they need to LEARN how toFEED their animals in DROUGHT Conditions with HAY which FARMERS CAN GROW and SELL TO THEM for COWS!

it is NOT DROUGHT per say, it is LACK OF GOVERNMENT PLANNING to ensure that there is adequate GRAZING GROUND for PASTORALISTS throughout the year as they MANAGE the RANCHES they have! Why do they think that they can PLAN RANCHES for BIG COMMERCIAL MEAT FARMING but act as thought they have NO CLUE how to PLAN GRAZING GROUNDS for PASTOALISTS to survive on? Its because PASTORLISTS are the COMPETITION to the COMMERCIAL RANCHES who don't want them to have their own LIVESTOCK which they sell to the market they compete for!

The type of farming that these people practice is Industrial, they live of selling their product not the actual product itself. For the Kenyans a child is an insurance for the future, a pair of hands for manual farming labour and of the 10 kids you're giving birth to a huge chunk are not going to reach 5 years of age nevermind adulthood. These people do not have the resources to make any child stay alive so they play a numbers game by having many the chances rise that one will survive despite the odds and once you have one old enough they can look after any siblings, or help on the fields. And should one parent be to Ill to work anymore or I don't know get old they have their child to take care of them, as their only line of safety. It's a lot more compareable to Farmers in the pre Industrial age in Europe and if you listened in history you might have noticed they had a lot of children.

Excellent piece, well done and precise. This problems are as a result of fighting for the scarce resources. Grazing land, water and food. This scarcity is human made by the influence of poor governance and greedy leadership. Kenya has skilled and educated professionals in all aspects whom if given a chance can control this scourge. What is lacking is political good will and proper governance. Engineers, agricultural experts, environmentalist are denied the chance to work instead they are doing irrelevant jobs.

Kenya is the biggest most developed country in east Africa with people from all over the world going to college there and they’re building more smart cities, it’s lots of jobs but these people don’t have a job skill, it would be difficult for them to get jobs

Kenya is one of the most developed countries in the world, they even make cars that many African countries drive, they just finished a tollway that goes over the city, people from all over the world go to college there and they are building a new tech smart city so it’s many jobs and a drought has little effect on Kenya because most Kenyans live in cities

Kenya is the most developed country in east Africa, it’s videos of a Kenyan bringing his white girlfriend to Nairobi Kenya, and her being a amazed saying she feels like she’s in New York City
The problem is nomadic life of travelling from one area to the other.
my country.but soon we will recover
The word you will hear from pokot is "kemei" meaning drought/starvation...the recent attack is due to increased drought
Just unheard of. Elephants having to break into villagers homes for food and water and being killed for such destruction.
Our problem is our government so greedy
Being a Kenyan, I don't have any empathy for the herders and their family, during the rainy season, the family of a herder has a minimum of 50 cows and 100 goats/sheep's, this would mean the family at that moment in time is richer than even a regular citizen from a developed country. They are encouraged to sell the the market value of the herd is at peak; they don't! Why? Primitive cultural beliefs, of holding onto the cattle And during the dry seasons, the large herds die. And someone who was a Kenyan millionaire in the rainy season, becomes a mere food beggar and poverty ridden in the dry season!
Citizen TV Nation, KTN, see this is how you make a great film and tell a story.
Makes me sad to see, I could not imagine having these problems.
Its so shameful to read or watch an African die of hunger with all the God-given natural resources and good temperate climate for agriculture. Our governments have let us down especially in agriculture when there's surplus during peak harvest. We need buffer stocks to minimize or stop wastage of farm produce. Africa has enough food to feed the world. The goodwill from our political leaders is all we need. Corruption is the order of the day.

well, they have their independence. surely their government or their choice will sort this out for them and provide drought aid.
quintessential Reporting,looking into the root of the issues...Climate Change,Great work Sir
It requires just a little thinking, especially by men in the community and there will be no adverse effect of drought. If anyone wants to make this happen, he can contact me and we will turn things around.

It's nice to know someone from the gikuyu community would like to do something ,I suggest ,1 St we as gikuyu need to file a case agvthw east Africa court against the government for genocide lack of protection because this has been going on since Moi those people just go to kill in Laikipia , second as we are filling a case we dig Wells in the lands bodering laikutso many Wells they have no excuses to go to Laikipia that's the only solution and the government shou pay heavily for anyone killed by those bandits or mailed the same way they pay for animal damage they should also be served with restraining order than no young pastrolists should go with 50 kms of a gikuyu house because we are a protected community from genocide
Problem is everywhere in the world these problem would have been eliminated if resources have been distributed equally in the society! But we are living in the world of small percent of people ~1% super Rich and majority super poor
The conservation area is hundreds of thousands of acres owned by Italian woman called Kuki Galman. There's tens others of the same size or larger owned by white people who bought them from other white people that had displaced the local pastoralists in the colony. They are actually ranches with wild animals
Sad for my country
Kenya my bloodline
The population of Kenya has grown 7-fold i since 1960
Whenever I hear "with a million children at risk of starvation": Good... keep mindlessly making a dozen more per person you fools.
The Kenya 🇰🇪 government should go and dip ponds so when it rain 🌧 it can be filled up and can start fighting the drought same thing Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 did to fix its problems

They should blame their governor,the government released closed to 1Million dollars to that Turkana county government, infact its the second most county recieving alot of money from government after Nairobi and kakamega counties,but their leaders chose to enrich themselves
In the dark, with a light, whispering? idk
At 6:24 some guy is milking a cow and straight into his mouth.
Kenya has immense stocks of water and it is increasing, the problem is corruption.
Very different from South Africa I must say Never ever heard of someone killed over grazing ever whether Zim, SA or Mozambique countries i know well
