    Hats off to this an amazing guy who sacrificed his time, family and energy to fight locust ! This is what it called nationalism ✌

      I think you don't know what nationalism is. It's often mired in racism and bigotry.
      That's civilian action right there.

    The year that keeps on giving. You can understand why ancient people believed in the 10 plagues. I really hope there is an end of this endless suffering. And the pesticides used are 100% safe and not going to cause a whole population of health problems. Hats off to those who give up their time and money to help others. You are the ones who should make the world go around.

The only way our country Kenya can deal with these locusts at the moment is through the Aerial spraying. Our government hasn't really invested heavily in other ways to deal with these swarms since we've never faced such an ordeal

      That locust was originally a fruit which is also called stinking toe. There are 2 kinds of locust fruits. These fruits are loaded with nutrients and protein. The fruit is ancient and grows in Africa along with places they migrated to.

    Geotag the insects themselves then track the swarm.
