Communities in Ngorongoro say government is shutting down vital services to remove them from ancestral lands to expand lucrative game reserves
when police began demarcating 580 square miles of their land for a game reserve. According to witnesses, police opened fire, stole cattle, and destroyed property. One police officer died, more than 30 Maasai were injured, and thousands fled into Kenya.In Ngorongoro, a type of protected area created in 1959 that allows tourism and grants Maasai communities and their cattle permanent residence, the approach has been less confrontational.
Shutting down vital services basically creates a scenario where people would be better to pick up and leave Since September 2022, two wards – Ngorongoro and Misigiyo – have had no access to water, according to a government official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Farmers claim that about 100 cattle had died as a result.
