Subject: [anarchy_africa] [Fwd: Ogiek attacked at Mt.
Elgon] Betreff: Ogiek attacked at Mt. Elgon Von: "ECOTERRA Intl." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Don, 4.03.2004, 23:54 An: Cc: Ogiek attacked at Mt. Elgon (Nairobi 27.02-03.03.2004) Two politicians have so far been killed, a woman got shot in the stomach and hundreds of people were displaced from a site at an Ogiek ancestral forest in Western Kenya along the Uganda Border, where 200 of their houses were burnt to the ground. The attackers are said to be from the Pok (Bok) ethnic group of the Sabaot tribe, which belongs to the Kalenjin group of nilotic tribes and who live also across the border in Uganda, from where it is said the assault weapons used in the attack derive. The area at Chepyuk had been given to the Ogiek by the previous Government of Kenya, but the land ended up being grabbed by members from the powerful and dominant group - the Pok. But while none of the attackers has been arrested, 30 Ogiek were put in jail, while the local MP John Bomet Serut, a Sabaot himself, refused the governmental General Service Unit (GSU) to pitch camp and to restore order, because he claims that this paramilitary unit itself would worsen the situation by torturing people. Local donations to the displaced Ogiek were frustrated by the administration of the area. The Ogiek community made the urgent request for: · Legal means of ensuring that our people are released from the police cells. · Provision of food assistance. · Provision of shelter facilities. · Support for documentation of the whole crisis and bringing it into outside world. · Support for capacity building among Chepkitale Ogiek. · Treatment and medical attention for the Ogiek in jail and the displaced people. · A vehicle for mobilization which should be four wheel drive due to the terrain of the land. · Provision of Education and Health facilities. Already in 1999 the Ogiek filed a case to evict the grabbers but the case didn't take off due to financial constraints on the side of the Ogiek and allegded corruption in the courts. for further details see: http://www.ogiek.org Send your pledges for assistance to the Ogiek: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ECOTERRA Intl. ---------------------- Do you want to read or distribute a message in another language?
