Why are the Maasai in Tanzania contesting relocation from a heritage site?

from Focus on Africa · host BBC World Service

The Maasai community in northern Tanzania has continued to protest against what they call forcible evictions from their ancestral lands at the Ngorongoro conservation area and a UNSECO heritage site. Why are they being relocated? Kenya’s national carrier, Kenya Airways, has announced that it is out of the doldrums, and has posted its first net profit in more than a decade. What lessons have they learnt from the past, and is the recovery sustainable? And Uganda proposes a new law that will require teachers to attain a bachelor’s degree to continue in the profession.Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Bella Hassan in London.
