Nine years ago, hundreds of squatters, who had settled in Embobut forest located in Elgeyo Marakwet and parts of West Pokot counties were evicted, to pave way for conservation
But the eviction marked the beginning constant fights between the Government and the Sengwer, an indigenous community that has lived in the forest for more than a century.
