We can do something.

I never do this but I am posting a link.  I visited Kenya and Tanzania in 35 years ago when my father was working for the Kenyan government.  Under Kenyatta the Maasai were protected and given property rights that included control over their own images.  No one could photograph them without their permission.  In those days they were a thriving culture.  I went to hear a talk by an anthropologist who married a Maasai man and lived with them.  You may know them by photos of young men standing on one leg leaning on a staff watching over a heard of cattle but when I was there, even though westerners were captivated by the romance, East Africans respected them and accommodated their life style as worthwhile and honourable.  It put westerners to shame.

Corporate farming, soil degradation and weather changes have caused terrible hardships for all the people in these countries.  But now the president of Tanzania wants the land for recreational hunting!  He tried to force them off the land once before and the response of the media and people forced him to give back the land.  Now he is going to try it again. 

Think about it.  Think about the American west at the turn of the century... first starved then reduced to less than human status, finally slaughtered... all we have to do now is click and sign.  It is their land after all. 
This was sent to me by Ummu.  She was working at the Women's Employment Agency in charge of the computer courses.  I worked with her to raise funds for new computers.
