There’s need for accountability at all levels.

“If the IMF and the World Bank can be sued for environmental and human rights, can they also be sued in cases where they knowingly push for policies that result in social unrests, destruction and death?”

Land is at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity conservation, and social economics. It’s our duty to ensure #land #health for today and tomorrow even as we observe World desertification and drought day!

I live, work and travel between Nairobi, Kajiado and Meru counties frequently. Here's what stands the most about each county (for me):

Meru: small farms and high unemployment rate.

Farms have become so small, they're not commercially viable. This plus failed rainfall seasons the last couple years, most crops are for subsistence, and some stopped cultivation altogether. Dairy farming is still strong, even in the villages, but there's a real struggle with fodder..

Unemployment is so bad though, I know young people, even my own relatives, wasting away at home. You stop by to greet people and everyone is asking for a job for their child.

It's so painful and heartbreaking seeing a young person waste away, doing nothing at home, and this is for those who haven't joined substance/drug abuse or crime.

Their mothers all over worried, and doing all they can to secure jobs for their children, but efforts not amounting to anything. It is a lie, and avoidance when government tells people to create jobs.

Kajiado: Harsh environment conditions and literal fight to eke a living

Growing up in a relatively green area at a time when rains were consistent, and times were easier, I've never encountered struggle for survival until I lived in rural Kajiado. I will not reveal where exactly but its somewhere close to Taveta and Tanzania border.

Everyday is a struggle to exist, from drought that never seems to end, land that is overgrazed, bare soils with big plumes of dust, emaciated cattle and goats, a people that the government forgot, no public hospital or education services, and those that exist are hundreds of kilometers away...

And every food you put on your table, it is out of your blood, sweat and tears... Despite paying so much in taxes including local County taxes when selling cattle/goats. In fact, the government is fighting you and your way of life. So you are fighting both the government and the environment (and conservation folk), and it feels a losing battle. And like there's no one on your corner, it's a lonely battle.

Saving grace is water, a bit of water, that migrant farmers come to do irrigation with. They leave some money circulating in the local economy, but most profits are exported back.

Nairobi: The city of extremes

Its always so interesting to me how there are places you can live in Nairobi that would shield you from problems in this country, we call it Kenya A. In Kenya A, you've access to hospitals that don't have long patient queues, with modern equipment and highly trained staff. You've access to schools and curriculums of your choice. To efficient and modern transport systems.. You are not fighting the environment, and in fact, all systems are catered to you and your money.

If you have proper money, Nairobi is the best city in the world and Kenya A is so far removed from the realities of the rest of the country. There have been times I've wished for that Kenya A life, but really this shouldn't be the case.. We all deserve equal access and opportunities, whether you are in Kenya A, B, Meru or Kajiado. The inequalities in this country are soul crashing.

Elephants exiting the Mau forest and into tea plantantions in search of food is a testament of how bad the drought has been. Its been ages since elephants were spotted in human-inhabited areas west of Mau. These animals probably migrated from the drier Mau Narok

This is quite sad indeed.
