The claims of pastoral threats to nature and wildlife in Ngorongoro aided and abetted by the government against its own people is no more than a hyena eating its own kids claiming to smell goats.
The latest episode in the Ngorongoro saga reminds us of the urgency of interventions to find long-lasting solutions to the problem that has persisted for many years.
No one is telling Zanzibaris to leave the Stone Town of Zanzibar to ensure the preservation of the archipelago's heritage nor have Egyptians forced to leave their ancestral land for the sake of preserving the pyramids. How come then that only the people of Ngorongoro are told to leave their ancestral land if the area is to be preserved?
