Loliondo division, in the Ngorongoro District of Northern Tanzania, has been in the news lately. There’s been a flurry of protest notes and statements released across media outlets. The content is amazing and continues.
Non-State institutions, particularly civil society, have moved with speed to draw international attention to the matter. The government of Tanzania was reported to be evicting the Maasai of Loliondo from 1,500 square kilometres, just about 370,000 acres, of their ancestral land in disregard of their rights.
