UK’s blood tea in Kenya
Kenyans who were brutally evicted by the British colonial army to make way for lucrative tea plantations are now demanding compensation.
We have spoken exclusively to the governor of Kericho County in Kenya who is leading the calls for justice for his people. This weeks edition is highlighting on Kenyan peasants whose land was grabbed by British settlers during the colonial era.
We are asking, will Britain own up and compensate for its colonial era crimes in this East African country? We are also looking into a recent oil spill in Mauritius after a cargo ship struck a reef off the coast of this Indian Ocean island nation.
Within days, around 1,000 tons of fuel had spilled from the ship, threatening the Blue Bay marine park, one of the marine treasures of Mauritius and a sensitive ecology site.
In addition, this disaster risks bringing devastating consequences for the economy, food security, and health and tourism industry. The Government of Mauritius activated its national oil spill contingency plan and, on the 7th of August, declared a state of environmental emergency and called for international help.
