A war with bows and arrows in Kenya (18 pics)

Posted in Pictures   15 Oct 2009   / 5847 views

It happened in March 2008. Post-election clashes between tribes re-awakened ancient ethnic rivalries and they used bows and arrows to fight instead of the usual machetes. They said it was a more deadly alternative.
It’s very impressive and unusual. More than 20 people died in the fighting and a man was even shot in the face…
The pictures that impressed me the most are the ones where you see the Maasai warriors with members of the Kalenjin tribe on a hill overlooking the Olmelil Valley.

I think this was some kind of dispute over land if my memory serves me right..
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

pila24, that is more like the stone age. What they needed was a good cavalry charge down the hill.
