Kenyan police shot dead a 70 year old Masai man whilst he was grazing his cattle on private land given to British settlers 100 years ago. Four other herdsmen were also injured in the incident last Saturday. A local Masai leader said that the police opened fire after herdsmen were forced by drought to graze their cattle on private ranchland. Police and farmers say the grazing is part of a Masai campaign to illegally seize land.
