Violent evictions of Maasai underway in Loliondo, Tanzania to make way for Otterlo Business Corporation’s hunting concession
On 13 August 2017, rangers started to evict people and livestock
from 1,500 square kilometres of land in Loliondo, Northern Tanzania. Houses and bomas (homesteads) have been burned. The evictions are taking place during an extreme drought.A hunting company from the United Arab Emirates, Otterlo Business Corporation, has exclusive hunting rights in an area of 400,000 hectares to the east of the Serengeti National Park.
