Environmentalist killed in Kenya

Robert Kirotich of the ancient forest people Sengwer was killed by the country's Forest Service during the eviction executed to make room for a dam project of the value of 31 million euros. The forest guards are said to have sprayed bullets against 15 men who were herding cattle in the surroundings of the water project, killing the man. Activists say they reported many times about the humanitarian risks of the plan of the dam near Mount Elgon, also to the EU authorities, but they would not have heeded their reports.
