- 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.

God bless u
Thiong'o how can I get your contacts?
Good job
Kudos!
I'm from Turkana Kenya 🇰🇪, the banditry used to be a tradition from long time ago but the banditry attacks nowadays is influenced by politicians making the damages unbearable
Why is the county government not digging Wells in 2012 I saw alot of Turkana had started farming they were Willing so it's the county that let you guys down and pokot and samburu banditry is too much
[CONTEXT] The drought ended around 40 days ago.The rains are now here,and people are farming
One week ago
God is good all the time 🙌🏾❤️
Amin.
Why the disrespect? Asking that old man if he feels like he let his wife down. I love old dude's answer; "Myself I did not fail. I don't have a gun so I can't protect her against someone with one". Shaming this old dude, for what? I didn't like that...
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
@@aesop_ WHY are the MZUNGUS still allowed to stay and OCCUPY LAND that the PASTORALISTS need for their GRAZING grounds if KENYA is an INDEPENDENT COUNTRY? Why are the COLONIALISTS STILLTHERE formenting these wars to keep the PATORALISTS from their KENYAN RIGHT TO LAND? These COLONIZERS live in THEIR COUNTRIES-America, Hollan, SOuth Africa but HAVE RANCHES in KENYA that they NO LONGER HAVE A RIGHT TO! WHY is the GOVERNMENT QUIET on these issues of CONTINUITY OF COLONIALISM leaving their own people to KILL EACH OTHER over LEFT OVERS?!! What is INDEPENDENCE if the people cant get BACK THEIR LAND and are STARVING waiting for the SAME COLONIZERS to pretend to be BENEVOLENT "food aid" suppliers! GET THE MZUNGU OUT and give the PASTORALISTS their LAND RIGHTS!
@@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
👍😭
@Buckwheat please show me when, where and how I blamed white people.
There is so much to learn in this documentary. One thing i can say is I love the editor or the owner of this channel. Keep going on man
Iam a kenyan but let me say this. The issue of Kenya starvation is purely an administrative issue. Farmers have enough food during this time of harvest. The distribution of food is not even where there is food there is too much where there is no food its almost zero. Iam a farmer
AFRICA HAS 100 % MORE WATER UNDER GROUND THAN ABOVE AFRICA SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH DROUGHT 100 💯 PERCENT WATER UNDER GROUND THE MOST IN DA WHOLE WORLD CHINA HAVE ONLY 7 PERCENT DIG BOOR HOLE THE ANSWER this is drinking water too it clean n pure it's deep
Dig every one need that
Help your people!
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!
@@lovelymix8056 It is not that easy or simple.
As soon as it’s Seyi reporting, I’m watching.
Can we just agree that this is manmade? Turkana has the largest water aquifer in the whole of Kenya and when it rains,it floods and we don’t harvest the water just waiting for the perennial drought to complain again….Damn it…this is 2022🤷🏾♀️
I agree with you 💯.We could borrow a leaf from Israel look at Negev Desert how they have done irrigation to feed it's population.I sometimes feel ashamed to be associated with this country

Those violent men should use their energy to manually dig wells and find a permanent solution instead of using their energy fighting people
EASIER SAID!-most of ht eland that is left to them is DRY WITHOUT WATER TABLES! The land with WATER TABLE for WELLS is still in the MZUNGUS HANDS, the SAME MZUNGUS who NO LONGER HAVE the RIGHT to the land they still occupy!

Why are the COLONIALISTS STILLTHERE formenting these wars to keep the PATORALISTS from their KENYAN RIGHT TO LAND?

@@nikinai4374 I don't see any pastrolists going to graze or fight the hugest land owner on laikipia they just use that land to hide and go attack small scale farmers so farmers will never support you even that woman said why can't you graze your animals and leave them alone
@@nikinai4374 to an extent they patrolists go to steal things inside people's houses because the farmers decided not to keep cattle they are just bullies if the want that land watafanya kununua Kama wakikuyu walivyo nunua
@@nikinai4374 by the way there is no land without water tables that's a lie there is a lot of water even on Turkana dig and use it even in coast they use salty water and it works
"Now we live a life without anything to eat" as I looked over at a box of cornflakes😢....made me realize how much we don't realize. GOD Bless those strong people.
We’ll all be there soon enough. It’s called climate collapse. Sadly we are all going down on spaceship earth. Look up ‘wet bulb syndrome’ and exponential collapse of tipping points. Tragic. Treasure each day you have that is somewhat normal. They will become less and less as time moves on.
@Simon bless your blessings
this is what the colonial like the black seen their own as the enemy when are we going to united and share with a brother
General thing here is that Kenya is struggling with food security but the banditry thing is not a countrywide thing
Of course it’s not country wide, just for people that choose to live this life style, Kenya has many modern cities full of millions of people living in high rise buildings who wake up and drive to their favorite restaurant before driving to work for google or Microsoft or any of the thousands of jobs we do everyday
@@janendegwa5462 Kenya has the biggest strongest military in Africa and bthey are the most developed country in east Africa, they have n problems with food because the have the biggest import export in Africa with big huge container ships arrive everyday with food from all over Africa, the supermarkets are full, it’s no water problem or food problem
Kenya is the most developed country in east Africa, it’s videos of a Kenyan bringing his white girlfriend to Nairobi Kenya, and her being a amazed saying she feels like she’s in New York City
Get some white South African farmers to come and farm there. Like Zambia got the Zimbabwe farmers. Now they are exporting maize back to Zimbabwe.
My motherland Kenya 🇰🇪
Thanks for sharing, I heard Uganda has also been affected by the drought, making it difficult for people to plan. Prayerfully the weather in the region will return to normal soon.
Kenya needs irrigation systems for farming in rural areas during the dry season
I am Pokot, they know livestock more than plants
@@_kachapin not good thing pokot should plant high yield fodder grass when rainy season began and stored for dry season
@@_kachapin and cry njaa every time drought hits..
Shame on the Kenyan President 😢
My dad educated us with the income he used to get from selling vinyago to the tourists it is sad to see how much drought has affected a lot of people and there livelihood
it is NOT DROUGHT per say, it is LACK OF GOVERNMENT PLANNING to ensure that there is adequate GRAZING GROUND for PASTORALISTS throughout the year as they MANAGE the RANCHES they have! 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!

In central Kenyan we have abundant food crops and good harvest however we have no proper roads to market our harvest to the other side that has rain and crop issues.
we are very much in need of your crops and fruits here in North Eastern.
Let's hope this government will build North corridor road that will link us all.
Independence since 1975 and yet there's still no roads in the rural areas African leaders are something else smfh
bless those for looking after the wildlife.
Brothers and sisters let's stop the fighting and start talking about how we can share between each others,don't be divided between each others ,that's what others want.
The ridiculous belief that raising several kids in severe poverty is much better than raising one in comfort needs to change.
Very stupid ridiculous response. This indicates a TOTAL lack of UNDERSTANDING of historical facts regarding EVERY civilization. OMG unbelievable... If you can't come up with a solution stay out of this conversation.
It is not an optimal situation I agree. Although having the extra hands around the farm for planting and harvesting, cleaning the house or fetching water can increase quality of life and amount of tasks completed in a day.
@@cwithtwo Babies & toddlers cannot do those things. They're hungry mouths who take a lot of time, money & effort to look after. If having several kids each were good for farming families, farmers in the developed world would have very high birthrates.
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.
This is good reporting and coverage. Good job
You can't live in the desert and risk having hundreds of livestock.

Contraception is the solution - then they'll be plenty of food for everyone.
@@andrewjones575 not that simple but nice try
@@skythdicnri88 It's the most important step that needs to be taken. If the population of Kenya were halved from 56m to 28m, there'd be plenty of food.
@@andrewjones575 There is still plenty of food in Kenya, but you can't transport it to north areas due extortion from gangs of police that heavily "tax" them. I did some sight seeing and was surprised how bad they "fined" my Uber driver for defective equipment despite his vehicle being almost new. He would have lost money transporting me if I hadn't covered it for him.

I find myself siding with the farmers. Unlike herdsmen, they don't just take from the land - they create.
Exactly.
@Lind Morn I am from the global north. And your response, though I strongly disagree with it and the other positions it implies, only serves as further encouragement to keep engaging on this utterly irrelevant forum known as the comments section.
True they have increased the hunger problem because when this farmers cant keep planting if they can't harvest they just migrate to cities to become traders , I have seen farmers in towns they say they quit farming because it's better to trade you harvest right away some even become importers of food from Tanzania which makes our Kenyan situation worse
@@balargus319 -- You just commented. Question is - Who asked you to Comment. 😂😅🤣
Its very sad.I wish i was given fund to change their life for good.we have new technology nowdays to keep hunger away
Yes, it's called contraception. If they used it, there'd be far more than enough food for all of Kenya's people, and they could make a fortune by exporting tons of food.
So much food wastage in the developed world, food mountains everywhere but certain part of africa. The leaders plus climate change assisted in this deadly situation.

I have been to twenty two countries in Africa. Everyone I met spoke multiple languages. People often speak a local or tribal language, a regional language, and the language of their European colonizers.

I'm still in shock, we have so little time to live, why should it be this hard and painful, why it's like this? It's scares me, God are you watching it?
There is no god. We’re here all on our own. If you want a problem fixed, better roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Power of a man when the elephant responded and quieted down.
so incredibly sad
These tribes have been fighting for yrs. So many countries in Africa have never been able to get along. They’ve been killing each other for centuries. Why would they stop now. Simple poor uneducated farmers. Nothing will change, it never does.
They are not poor at all. Most families own over 100 heads of cattle. Yes its rustling over hundreds of years. They are pastrolists so don't build permanent structures and live in harmony with nature moving from place to place. You should visit Kenya see for yourself the paradise it is.
Kenya is one of the most developed countries in the world, they even make cars that many African countries drive, they just finished a tollway that goes over the city, people from all over the world go to college there and they are building a new tech smart city so it’s many jobs and a drought has little effect on Kenya because most Kenyans live in cities and the cities get water from one of the biggest lakes in the world they import food and export food so the supermarket is full of everything you would ever need
Very Good Piece..

CORRUPTION IS THE ROOT OF EVERYTHING NEGATIVE IN KENYA
Excellent piece, well done and precise.
This problems are as a result of fighting for the scarce resources. Grazing land, water and food. 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.

Most people in Kenya has never seen the elephant before
And to think alot of us fortunate in America whine and cry about having it bad 🤦
For sure you in America have it good. But this is just a small part of Kenya. The larger Kenya is relatively ok. I'm not saying that this should happen to anyone but also culture is an issue. 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.

The word you will hear from pokot is "kemei" meaning drought/starvation...the recent attack is due to increased drought
Citizen TV Nation, KTN, see this is how you make a great film and tell a story.
The population of Kenya has grown 7-fold i since 1960
The problem is nomadic life of travelling from one area to the other.
1. It’s a humanitarian crisis , 2. The south is able to provide for others
So solutions must be implemented rather than letting people suffer. There are solutions!!!
19:15 If they actually ran away, why the hell are they whispering??
Oh my goodness those poor elephants they are suffering too people !!!💫🎀
During drought, everyone and everything suffers 😢
Whenever I hear "with a million children at risk of starvation": Good... keep mindlessly making a dozen more per person you fools.
Why are europeans still holding huge chunks of land and ranches in these areas many years after independence while the nomadic communities lack pasture for their animals.? Could be another cause of conflicts.

Makes me sad to see, I could not imagine having these problems.
well, they have their independence. surely their government or their choice will sort this out for them and provide drought aid.
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!
Problem is everywhere in the world these problem would have been eliminated if resources have been distributed equally in the society! But we are living in the world of small percent of people ~1% super Rich and majority super poor
So sad and the sad part is the gov can help they can produce rain by geo engineering
Its so shameful to read or watch an African die of hunger with all the God-given natural resources and good temperate climate for agriculture. Our governments have let us down especially in agriculture when there's surplus during peak harvest. We need buffer stocks to minimize or stop wastage of farm produce. Africa has enough food to feed the world. The goodwill from our political leaders is all we need. Corruption is the order of the day.

The conservation area is hundreds of thousands of acres owned by Italian woman called Kuki Galman. There's tens others of the same size or larger owned by white people who bought them from other white people that had displaced the local pastoralists in the colony. They are actually ranches with wild animals
Ghana must share crops with neighboring countries.
Ghana is in west Africa Kenya is in east Africa, Kenya is the most developed contry in east Africa they have no problem with crops, go in any supermarket in Kenya and it’s full off fruits and vegetables and everything you will need from candy bars to breakfast cereal
@@jarodwilson4946 then why are numerous people and livestock dying up north with banditry as the order of the day or are they not also kenyans
@@lizlovesafrobeats they are way out near the desert, they don’t pay taxes they don’t have jobs, real Kenya farmers have hundreds of cows and a government contract and a system to get their products to market, Kenya has the largest military in Africa and they don’t play, Kenya is the most developed country in east Africa and most people get in cars and go to work. Pay taxes or mortgage, go to nice restaurants shop at the many huge malls, and put their money in the bank, shop at supermarkets for food, go to the barber shop for hair cuts, you know, just live normal lives
@@lizlovesafrobeats most people in Kenya live in their huge modern cities, it’s 8 million people living around Narobi Kenya and it’s huge suburbs, these people go to the grocery store to shop for anything food they need, and drive to the mall for furniture for their condos the people you see live outside society close to the desert where it rarely rains
Pilot and the Karimong a big problem in East Africa

What’s Kenyan government priority? Why not protect its own country? They are constantly sending law enforcement to aid other countries! Officers are being deployed to Haiti, this situation is worse than Haiti! Shame!!!!

I am from that village which elephant attack, that time they kill my father the one who was both our father and our mother 😭
Illiteracy is at the heart of this problem and government after government have still not deem it fit to introduce "education" to this people (cow herders). Same thing is happening in Nigeria without any consequence to stop these cow herders from destroying farms and killing the farmers. They walk around in Nigeria too carrying AK 47 without any registration whatsoever.
It requires just a little thinking, especially by men in the community and there will be no adverse effect of drought. If anyone wants to make this happen, he can contact me and we will turn things around.
It's nice to know someone from the gikuyu community would like to do something ,I suggest ,1 St we as gikuyu need to file a case agvthw east Africa court against the government for genocide lack of protection because this has been going on since Moi those people just go to kill in Laikipia , second as we are filling a case we dig Wells in the lands bodering laikutso many Wells they have no excuses to go to Laikipia that's the only solution and the government shou pay heavily for anyone killed by those bandits or mailed the same way they pay for animal damage they should also be served with restraining order than no young pastrolists should go with 50 kms of a gikuyu house because we are a protected community from genocide
