Since the doctors’ strike took a break, nothing has brought my heart such sorrow as the violence in Laikipia. My interest was sparked by a bus ride with a student who showed me pictures of tortured children and of animals shot dead, and who narrated, sometimes in tears, the agony of Kenyans suffering there. He is the one who challenged me to seek John Mbaria and Mordechai Ogada’s book The Big Conservation Lie, which has in turn led me to articles and lectures on conservation and pastoralism (which I shall list at the end of this post).
