Drought crisis in northern and eastern Kenya
Kenya is facing its worst drought in a decade, with 2.4 million people expected to be going hungry by November. The fast-emerging humanitarian crisis is not only the result of two consecutive poor rainy seasons in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands region – an arc of under-developed territory in the north and east of the county. Needs are compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, insecurity, as well as by pests and diseases. Household maize stocks are well below the five-year average, and both livestock and milk production have fallen, driving up prices. A glut in the livestock market, as people sell off their animals, is further eroding pastoralists’ earnings. They are already forced to walk longer distances in search of water and to forage for their livestock, resulting in a spike in inter-communal tensions. Upcoming short rains, due to fall from October to December, are also forecast to be below average, resulting yet again in poor harvests and worsening livestock conditions next year.

Burning fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas - emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere, leading to global climate change. This has huge impacts for all life on earth, especially those least responsible for the crisis!

Since 2015, 60 biggest banks have invested 3.8 trillion US dollars in fossil fuel.

Latest #MAPARecommends from one of our activists!

There is no climate justice without debt justice! Most climate finance / "aid" comes in loans and so MAPA countries often end up in debt and having to pay so much interest to Global North countries when trying to recover from the loss and damages and trying to adapt to the climate crisis the Global North countries caused!

Debt by David Graeber:

Written by an activist from Occupy Wall Street, and academician left disenfranchised by Yale University after this work — Graeber brilliantly traces the history of debt and the gift economy, down to the dark roots of money in war and sex. “Debt: the first 5,000 years” is a classical work of economic anthropology.

At least 20 people, including seven children, were killed and more than 300 injured after a 5.9-magnitude earthquake hit Harnai , Balochistan in the early hours of Thursday . We stand in solidarity with the affected families by this disasters.

Update Afghanistan: We still need help! 🆘

It‘s urgent. We still have activists at high danger in Afghanistan, we need to evacuate as many people as far as possible and as safe as possible. We have also 23 people in Pakistan, we need to get them visas for safe countries. But we do not have enough money for further actions.

We produced a video with Greta and two activists in Pakistan, Kamila and Shamshad, explaining the situation. Please share the video, this message and donate here:
