UAE is distabilizing the Horn of Africa and East Africa by taking up land from indigenous people for farming, game hunting and carbon credits. In Ethiopia, they have displaced the Neur and Anuak with a 50 year lease and are expanding it.

If the finance bill protests were bad. If they insist on passing the land act ammendment bill, for sure a few MPs will be killed. You don't play with people's land in this country. Especially since Nakuru, Eldoret & Kisumu were gazetted as "cities". This is playing with fire.
