Right now, evictions of #Ogiek peoples are still ongoing.
More than 100 security forces are deployed in Sasimwani in #Kenya. And the spread of evictions to other areas in Mau Forest is an impending threat.
We call on everyone to #StandWithTheOgiek!

❗After at least 700 #Ogiek spent a night w/out shelter, 🇰🇪 authorities continue to forcibly evict them from their homes & land today.
IWGIA calls on Kenya gov to stop these #evictions & abide by its legal obligations to let them stay on their land.
