They are feeble and unsteady, and often speak in soft tones. But elders from the border communities in Kenya and Tanzania have been blamed for the rampant cattle rustling, proliferation of illegal arms and inter-clan wars that have displaced many, and stifled development in Kuria. The elders are said to wield such immense influence, youths are virtually at their beck and call. Which explains why a recent meeting organised by the United States Agency for International Development-Kenya Transitional Initiative, brought together elders from the two countries – for the first time in 50 years.

Any mention of northern Kenya immediately brings to mind images of constant fighting, cattle raids and starvation. Bordering lawless Somalia and former war-torn Sudan, the region has seen few days of peace in the last 10 years. It is a region where the bloody cattle rustling persistently trounces any attempts at peace and reconciliation. Indigenous herders occupy dwindling grazing lands that are best suited for livestock production, but suffering periodic drought. Their way of life has mostly been portrayed as backward and warlike. |

By DAUDI EKUAM Posted Saturday, September 19 2009 at 21:03 The heat is on again among Kenyan pastoralists over what the media has termed “clashes over water and pasture”. Kenyans and their government are overwhelmed in thought and action as if the violence was unanticipated. What happened in Kanampio village along the border of Samburu Central and Laikipia North districts and recent skirmishes in Isiolo, Samburu, Laikipia, Turkana and other pastoralist areas is nothing new or unexpected.

Wednesday, August 19 2009 IF YOU KILL MY CAT, I WILL KILL your dog” – a statement seen on the back of a Zairean-registered lorry on Uhuru Highway on Wednesday morning. Every other day, from Zimbabwe, to Nairobi and Addis Ababa, you can be sure there will be a bitter exchange of words between a diplomat (usually from the West) and the local President, Prime Minister, or Foreign Affairs minister who is angry at being “lectured to about democracy”. This is totally unnecessary. I say let the evidence tell us whether Britain is more democratic than the African countries its ambassadors lecture to about good governance. |
