No pastures new: nomads
Article Abstract:
The nomads of northern Kenya are battling for the survival of their way of life. However, a drought, the use of grazing lands for tourist parks, and the diversion of water for other uses, are making their situation almost hopeless. The fate of the nomads seems to be at the fringe of national priorities.
