WITNESS | Non-Implementation of the Endorois Decision: A Continuing Struggle for Justice @witnessorg | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The Endorois people, an Indigenous community residing in Kenya, have faced a long and arduous battle for justice and the recognition of their rights to their ancestral lands. In a significant ruling, the African Commission acknowledged their historical ties to the land and called for its restitution. However, it's been over twelve years since the decision, and the Kenyan government's persistent refusal to fully implement it has left the Endorois people in a state of despair, perpetuating their suffering and marginalization. The Kenyan government must face up to its obligations to the Endorois community.
