[PALU @LawyersofAfrica]

Today’s hearing on the Ogiek Community case is a reminder of the long journey toward justice and recognition for indigenous communities across Africa. The African Court’s 2017 ruling in favor of the Ogiek was not only a win for the Ogiek but also a landmark decision affirming the vital role of indigenous communities in safeguarding our ecosystems and heritage.

Yet, nearly seven years later, the directives remain unfulfilled. This hearing is crucial for reaffirming Kenya’s obligations under the African Charter, to which it has committed, and the rights of the Ogiek community to their ancestral lands.

"To the Ogiek and all who support this cause, we stand with you, undeterred in this pursuit for justice. Together, let us continue pushing forward, knowing that truth and resilience will ultimately prevail. Your strength and resolve inspire us all."

Today, the Gem of Africa—#Botswana—goes to the polls. I call for calm and hope the will of the people prevail. #CivicRights
I recently wrote about #BotswanaDecides2024 #BotswanaElections, calling it a ‘critical juncture’ of democratic evolution.

A helpful result: but Ogiek should not have been evicted in first place nor should they have needed to seek court intervention given @court_afchpr judgments. Kenyan Government must respect rule of law & implement both African Court rulings. @ForestPeoplesP @IWGIA @MinorityRights
