Relief to pastoralists as ban on grazing in forest lifted

The ban on grazing livestock in the 16,000-acre Olposimoru government forest in Narok following ethnic skirmishes has been lifted.

Local residents were last year barred from the forest following the killing of two Maasai morans who were shot by unknown people while grazing in the forest, leading to a conflict between Maasai and Kipsigis communities.
