In northern Tanzania, claims of forcible eviction from the Maasai community have sparked protests in a growing fight with the government. A Maasai delegation is currently in Europe, seeking international help to stop the authorities from moving Maasai communities out of Loliondo, near the Kenyan border, and the Ngorongoro Crater conservation area, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
