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!

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!

    You're so right, in fact we ought to cut the damn subsidies to those freeloading farmer's in America. I wish I could get paid whether I produced a damn thing or not at my job. Living under the roofs we provide for them and the food we put on their table in the lights we're keeping on for them. My water and power bills get ratcheted up to defray the expense of running utilities all the way out to where they choose to live because they can't afford to pay their own damn bills even with all the subsidies I'm paying for already and now they want to reach into my wallet yet again for their internet. Bullshit! When aside from agribusiness their one industry town has lay offs do their neighbors support them through the hard times, those worthless free riders certainly do not, I'll tell you what they do, they come to my city to mooch off of the public assistance we take care of our neighbors in need with is what they do. Lazy ass welfare queen farmers ought to start pulling their own damn weight for a change, I'm getting sick of it and of their entitled self absorbed whining.

    @@andrewjones575 Farmers in devoloped countries don't have high Infant death rates and definitly do not depend on their childrens labour, they have machines, access to healthcare and government benefits, their kids have to go to school and it costs a lot more money to raise a child in a first world country. 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.

The Samburu and Pokot are pastoralists and it's really difficult for the govt to have a centralized aid point because these people will keep moving around looking for pastures for their livestock. They will pick anything they can eat on their way and nobody will stop them.

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.

    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!
