Over 1,000 Ogiek people have been forcibly evicted from their ancestral lands in the Maasai Mau Forest Complex by Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers. The evictions, which began on November 2, 2023, have left the community homeless and without access to their belongings.
