Tanzanian authorities seen opening fire on Maasai people in game reserve dispute

Rights NGO Survival International has accused the government of “shocking violence” and evicting Maasai people from
their land to make way for trophy hunting

Tanzanian authorities have been filmed opening fire on Maasai people in the northern Ngorongoro district, an area popular with tourists, following a dispute over turning land used for grazing into a game reserve.

Footage shared on social media shows people running from gun shots in the Loliondo area. Further images shared with Climate Home News showed people with small bullet wounds on their leg, feet, top of their back and even on someone’s head.

“It started with tear gas and it turned to live bullets,” Joseph Oleshangay, a Maasai lawyer, activist and resident of Ngorongoro, who witnessed the scene, told Climate Home.

“At least 10 people have been wounded. Eight of them are women and two are men, including one who is 70 years old. These are not people who were there to fight,” he said. Climate Home could not independently verify these numbers.

Tanzanian police and game wardens arrived in the area on Tuesday to demarcate a 1,500 square kilometres of “village land” as a game reserve for trophy hunting, he said.

The move would ban all human settlements and grazing in the area, effectively evicting semi-pastoralist Maasai communities.

oliondo is an important area for grazing in the dry season because it contains the only permanent water point in the area.

Climate change is forecast to lead to more erratic rainfall and longer drought periods in northern Tanzania, making access to a water source crucial to the survival of the Maasai pastoralist tradition.

“By attacking pastoralism, you are attacking the Maasai cultural and spirituality,” said Oleshangay.

In recent days, Maasai people gathered to protest the plans and defend their land.

Earlier on Friday, prime minister Kassim Majaliwa told parliament that despite police presence, the situation in Loliondo wasn’t dangerous.

But on Saturday, Arusha regional commissioner John Mongella said that a police officer had died in the confrontation with a Maasai community after being shot by an arrow. He claimed that there had been no other casualties from the incident and that footage shared on social media showing authorities opening fire on Maasai people was several years old.

Opposition leader Tundu Antiphas Lissu, of the Chadema party, accused the Tanzanian government of “waging a violent war” against the Maasai people.

“The international community has a responsibility to intervene & end these human rights abuses & hold the govt accountable!” he tweeted.

“Despite earlier pauses, the Tanzanian government is blindly moving ahead with plans to remove Maasai pastoralists out of their land to clear the way for trophy hunting,” said Anuradha Mittal, of the environmental think tank Oakland Institute. “International mobilisation on these developments is imperative to help stop this disastrous and illegal move.”

Mittal argued that the forced evictions in the area would violate a 2018 East African Court of Justice injunction, which prohibited the Tanzanian government from evicting Maasai people or engaging in harassment against those living on the contested land.

Yet, the Tanzania government is seeking to relocate more than 73,000 pastoralists out of an estimated 93,000 living in the Ngorongoro conservation area.

This goes against a rapidly growing body of evidence which shows that indigenous people have a vital role to play in protecting biodiversity.

Human rights organisations such as Survival International have warned against the rise of “fortress” conservation, which closes off land and forests to human activities, at the expense of communities with roots there.

Fiore Longo, campaigner with the NGO, told Climate Home: “I think that what is happening to the Maasai today should be put in the wider context of human rights abuses in the name of conservation. This violence that we see in Tanzania is the reality of conservation in Africa and Asia: daily violations of the human rights of indigenous peoples and local communities so that the rich can hunt and do safari in peace.

“These abuses are systemic and are explained by a dominant model based on racism and colonialism. We can no longer turn a blind eye to human rights abuses committed in the name of ‘conservation’. This model of conservation is deeply inhumane and ineffective and must be changed now.”

The Tanzanian government has been approached for comment.

The church should unite against the popular antichrist- Islam! It's clear there is an islamic agenda, if not while will a Muslim president replace another Muslim president? Can the Christians do it peacefully? Courage is one of the fruits of the spirit not cowardice. All the major Christian GOs should direct their congregants to vote a Christian like some with balls are already doing. Christians are more than Muslims in this country and a majority of them are igbo. That's why they keep attacking Catholic church cos they don't understand how 99.5% of igbos will be Christian

Religion divide people. All imported foreign religions should be banned. Religion and politics don't mix.

Pastors should stay away from politic. Religion and politics don't mix

Let us drop these tribalistic distinctions. The strength of Nigeria come from Unity. Only if we all are together as a society can we remove the defects in society. There are flaws in every society. In order to remove these flaws, we all should come together and reorganize society.
By doing so, we will be united. We cannot dive deep into the society without unity. To bring growth and transition in the society, youth should come together. Youth alone can be primarily responsible for the progress of Nigeria as a Nation

Never Underestimate Your Potential

You tend to think a lot about your future, your exams and their outcome and it always leads you to depression?.
How do you come out of this compulsive thinking?

Know that every failure is a step towards success. Do you know that all those people who are now leading large corporate houses had suffered many failures in their early days? The ones who have started some of these large IT companies, in the early days, they were unable to get jobs, they underwent many difficulties and hardships. Now look at them, they are employing thousands of people. So never underestimate your potential. If you have not done well in class one time, it is alright; know that something better is waiting for you. Remember this, ‘Something very good is going to happen to me!’

I want you to take back three things from here:
1. Only the best will happen to me.
2. Stay away from all types of addictions; this is not the age to get addicted to anything.
3. Be crazy about something in life; either arts, music, sports or social work. Many youngsters should aspire to be in politics also.
Do you like the idea? Be a leader.

Today, Nigerian youth are getting new types of opportunities. You should learn a lot of skills, not just education; develop your personality; that will open avenues for you and you can get good opportunities.

Racism for Sale - BBC Africa Eye documentary

In February 2020, a shocking video began to circulate on Chinese social media. A group of African children are being instructed, by a voice off-camera, to chant phrases in Chinese. The kids repeat the words with smiles and enthusiasm, but they don’t understand that what they’re being told to say is “I am a black monster and my IQ is low.” The clip ignited outrage in China and beyond. But no-one ever answered the crucial questions: Why was this filmed? Where was it shot? Who made it? These questions send BBC Africa Eye and BBC Eye Investigations reporters Runako Celina and Henry Mhango on a journey into a Chinese video-making industry that exploits vulnerable children across the continent.
