TALKING MAASAI MEN

FROM MASAI MARA WITH HOPE...

SHAME ON YOU MAASAI LEADERS...!

Corruption in Masai Mara bigger than Kenya...!

"We need justice and morality order to serve humanity correctly and completely."
- Filiz Tasel

"What chance do you think you have?"
"Even if it is zero percent, I will take it."
- Filiz Tasel

Anybody can reach and help poor, sick and unwanted...!
Anybody can build a hospital, school, bridge...Anybody can donate food, sponsor children in school or help people who are sick or disable...And they are doing it. So many beautiful people are doing it...
I think maybe we should take one step further than humanity and demolish the world's biggest dilemma...
This case is a very serious case and needs serious people with courage, dignity and integrity...

This case is a universal shame and needs universal condemnation...!

There is only one case left in Masai Mara... If we remove this case thousands of people will relief of slavery...
This case not a theory, it is not a fiction, it is not a gossip, nor lies...This case is a FACT which is going on for years...This case is not for individual, not for a families, nor for several people...This is a case for the community as whole...Thousands and thousands of people... almost entire Maasai community...!
If we all together finish this case thousands of people will benefit. It is not hunger, not sickness, nor diseases. It is a case of injustice and inhumanity...
Thousands and thousands of people against one case...!
And one case against thousands and thousands of people...!

NAFIworld has been asked by the Maasai community to be their voice, voice of their bleeding hearts.
All of them have the same dream, same hope... The Maasai men have chosen NAFIworld for their dream and dream became NECESSITY for all of us...!
I gave my word to them and I am backing it up by action....This is a one person action...!
NAFIworld kept the promise and dedicated this page to the Maasai men.

* "If you don't do it, Nasha, it means you have ACHIEVE nothing all those years."
-Dr. J.P and a thousand Maasai...

Not only Maasai women and young generation have dreams, but also Maasai men have dreams too. Same dream, same hope and same vision. Stealing of millions will come to end and will relief of thousands of people of slavery, from corruption in Masai Mara. They have a dream that they all go to school, they have a dream that their wives and children will not die for simple reason...such as HUNGER...!
They have a dream that they can have some options, possibilities, opportunities to have a better life style than now. They have a dream that they will be able to buy food, simple food for their families, never mind anything else...
Just because of few dishonorable men thousands of people are suffering enormously.

* "We are hiding behind the cultural and traditional mask. We cannot hide anymore... We are very tired of this kind of life style...
No, not the life style of Maasai we are talking... We are very tired, bitter and angry about injustice and inhumanity coming from our own people, with your money!"

It is time to finish this ugly game...!

Your actions will be very important and save them from darkness...!

By doing so, we, the HUMANITY can serve to the right hands and to the right purposes...
Correctly and completely...!

And it is time for Maasai to come out from darkness into light...

World's biggest dilemma is not the POVERTY...!
But it is it's CAUSE...!
And we call it CORRUPTION...!
Corrupt minds and heartless thieves...
Corruption is not only immoral but also crime for humanity.
It is heartless, cruel and obscene.

BLEEDING HEARTS OF THE MAASAI...

Word by word...

Years and years lies have destroyed many lives. Maybe now the truth might capture lives again...

We entire Maasai community, we have a message for you...!

* "Any individual and foreign countries sending money, giving aid, financial aid, food aid, building school, hospital, donate ambulance, school supplies, please stop what you are doing. Don't do it...
The money we have here can feed 1/3 of Kenya. More you are giving more they are stealing and hunger is increasing among Maasai...!
Stop everything until our government act, process, or bring decency, justice and humanity to Maasai community."
- Maasai community

* "We need dynamic movement that will take us out as whole as Maasai community from this hopeless, helpless and desperate life style.
Everything is old here...Our life, our believes, our behaviors...and we are very old here...!"

* "Our leaders training us with hunger.
You think Maasai slim and tall, yes they are. But look at our Maasai leaders almost all of them fat and big belly...! "

* "Years and years you are sending money, sending food, educating us, sending medical supplies, building, constructing, sending school supplies, still most of the Maasai far more pathetic than before. And when you come here to visit us you cannot believe the poverty we live in."
"Whom do you blame for it?"
"Who do you think? Nobody but our leaders."
"Why don't you do anything about it? After all it is your life."
"We do not have money it doesn't mean we don't have brains. When we go to complain, those so called leaders bribing the officials. We have nothing to eat leave alone following the trial. We are poor and poor do not have any voice...! "
"But you choose them."
"Yes, we are. But every election time they feed us, buy dresses for our wives, blankets for our fathers, even they give bikes to young people. And we choose them...
Then they forget we exist...!
We don't believe this anymore."

* "I feel very shame to tell it, but I must.
You send us food aid and we appreciate it very much. But it is sold on the way before it reaches the Maasai."
-J.O.O.

* "You can help us by not sending any funds, donations...!
Let's see how they will deal when nothing is coming... After all everything goes into their pocket... "

* "Foreigners love us and helping us. They give what we need, but our leaders are looting that help!"

* "There are always kind people coming here to sponsor children in the school. They ask children from poor families. And those so called local leaders bringing their own children or children from their families. Of course white people don't know the children. And the children from rich families get sponsorship...
Our children, the real ones who need sponsorships for the school stay behind as always..."

* "One of the MP's telling to Maasai community keep the culture, keep the traditions, don't send children to school.
But his children studying in the U.S.A. And that MP is the richest and the cruelest."

* "They are no local Maasai going for further studies abroad as the other members of other provinces are doing weekly."
"You are the one who do not allow your children go to school, what are you saying... You are lazy and you don't value education."
"Yes, you are right but it was long time ago. Now we want to study. Now everything is money and the only way to get money and decent life through education. We don't want to go after cattle like our grand fathers did. It is not paying anything."


* "We have been misleaded, cheated and deceived by many people, other people. But the sad thing is the other people are mostly our own people. Those greedy official and local Maasai leaders.
They don't have enough! They are rich and they don't let us to breathe, leave alone living. Using their title, money, power to get away of any offence they have done. Yes to get away clean and they always get away clean...!"

* "Maasai leaders are becoming bigger, smarter, faster and meaner."

* "Years and years we have been oppressed by our leaders. We are not keeping silent anymore. It is time for us to stand up and fight for our rights. But we cannot do it alone. We need you."

* "The Maasai leaders are poor excuse to be here as a human being. Their approach could be designated chameleon approach. Almost impossible to see their true colors, multi color, multi meaning. They will hold their colors same as yours until you leave. However, we, local Maasai know them very well. After all they are our people, same blood.
They are stealing continuously millions of money from children and from women, from their innocent community, and from YOU...! "

- NAFIworld

* "We don't want hand outs... We want justice... Remove the cause before you finish poverty."

* "So, what is so exciting about us? We cannot even fill the stomachs of our children. We cannot have decent food for our families, what is the biggest reason you come here? To see how poor we are, how desperate we are, or to learn, how we kept out culture during so many hundreds of years? Visiting us in our dark, smoky, empty, dirty houses for a half hour, and thinking now you know us, have learned about us...
Visiting us, to see how we manage to live with nothing, and hungry all the time?
Well, we don't manage it. No one is able to manage such life...And we cannot entertain you like this anymore, for one Dollar jumping front of you and thinking how to bring sick wife, or sick child to the hospital...
Jumping front of you for a Dollar and thinking how to survive the next coming days, or how to go to school while jumping front of you with empty stomach..."

* "If you are an animal lover, you are very welcome to Masai Mara. We love you.
However, if you are interested in humanity and justice, please do not visit us, unless you bring humanity and justice to Masai Mara."
-M.O.M.

* "We are informing you with everything. When you come to visit us don't say, "What a poverty...!"

* "Corruption... what corruption?
We don't have corruption here. We have only heartless thieves with clever tactics. Different tactics then yours."

* "We know where our money is going...
Do you know where your money is going?"

* "There is always way to stop them. Only if you stop giving ridiculously and irresponsibly. Then maybe they might slow down. I know corruption everywhere in the world. But not where eighty percent people are living with hunger. This is not acceptable and not excusable. "

* "I have noticed that there is no respect for Maasai. Am I right?
"You are very right. Our leaders don't respect us, we don't respect each other, why should any one rescpect us?

* "Maybe it was fate to be Maasai, maybe it was our fate to wonder in the lonely places for years...Maybe it was fate to drink milk and blood to survive...
And maybe now we should change our fate... Because hunger should not be anybody's fate... dying of simple diseases should not be anybody's fate...
Many young women dying when giving birth, children growing with hunger, many people die of hunger, many young men cannot enter high school or college... These things are not fate..."
"Are you saying that nothing has been done properly for the Maasai community?
"How can you ask such question NAFIworld?...!"

The very worse, the most merciless, heartless are the Maasai leaders. They are the biggest black shadow and doom over Maasai community. Finishing every right and life of every local Maasai men, women and children. Born and unborn...
Without any remorse, any feeling, without a blink in their eyes, mind and heart. They are killing softly and slowly their own people. They have their own network and system. They allow no one to stop them, or control them...They are unchecked and unchallenged...!
They are very arrogant and self centered. They are continuously filling up their bank account, adding more business, adding more cars, more wives, more children and more girl friends. Those girl friends are however, UNCIRCUMCIZED...!

The gab between local Maasai and Maasai leaders is too large, deep and cannot be filled. Only if they stop stealing and sharing the Park fees and foreign aid equally and fairly, maybe life for local Maasai might start to breathe again.

Here we go...
They are Maasai Group Ranchers, Directors, Chairperson, Signatures and their partners in crime Maasai chiefs, Assistant chiefs, Sub local chiefs, Counselors and Assistant Counselors..
And our dear Pastors, Head teachers of schools, and school committees, Park Wardens and Park Ranchers..
High and low rank Government Officers. And those poor! Women's Right support and help Groups. And in addition our dear hard working NGO's...
Hundreds of them, those sweet NGO's which are network over the country working for their pockets only.

And lately those help and aid organizations for AIDS victims. It is a fashion now to open a office and have a registration number. Then you can have donations from western world and with that money they open their own business...
Why help to those AIDS victims? They will die anyway...

* "So Mr. ole CROOK!... head teacher of another school, where are those two full pick up stationery donated to your school from England? Where are those very useful and beautiful school supplies for children?
Sold in Nairobi isn't it...
Next time we shall give your name."
- Your community, TheMaasai

* "So Mr. CROOK!... head teacher, what have done with thousands of Dollars donated to school by dear people?
You took the money and escape away, haven't you? Then you became a head teacher of another school...!
Next time we shall give your name."
-Your community, The Maasai

* "Mama, mama, mamaaaa! You often go to U.S.A to represent Maasai women and to tell their problems...But every time you return from U.S.A. you build another house, buy another car for yourself. And we never see you with local Maasai women. Next time we shall give your name. Then perhaps U.S.A will invite real sufferers, local Maasai women..."
- Your community, TheMaasai

"We shall give you all the names of NGO's, Women support, or help groups, names of the Pastors, Head teachers and their schools. We shall tell you many, many things. Plain and ugly facts about what is going on among Maasai. "

* "We are telling you that we shall give the names... I think this page is not enough for the names... Just imagine that eighty percent of entire Maasai leaders are corrupt...!"

* "Allow us to inform you about Group Ranchers...
Those Group Ranchers, or Trust Funds for Maasai community have been
established for the help for Maasai community. They would collect the park fees and help for poor, sick, send children to school, development in the community. Park fees meant for the progresses, development and benefiting only Maasai community.
It turned out Group Ranchers benefiting their selves only. When they received free money they lost control and forgot the value of community, their own community."

There are eight group-ranchers in Masai Mara.
Koiyaki, Majimoto, Naikarra, Lemek, Olderekesi, Siana, Olchoro Oirowna and Olkinyei.
And the members of these group ranchers are the local Maasai...!

* "Do you think Maasai community benefiting the park fees? If so, why we have no hospitals, no roads, no medical help, leave everything else why we are starving, why our children are not in the school, but the children of "those" are in the private, expensive school, some of them studying abroad.."

* "Our leaders not only stopping us further progress, they are also stopping white people to help us. Any organization who would like to help us must bribe to officials. Ofcourse they refuse to bribe and help slips away."

* "No bribe, no right in Africa!"
-M.O.M.

* "Corruption is in our blood, dear!"
-E.A.

* "We trained each other.
You trained us to ask, we trained you to give!"
- M. M.

* ''We have local clinics to help Maasai. Some of the clinics have ambulance. But those ambulances helping only rich Maasai. And some times they are in the park for a game drive. A ambulance in the park!"

* "You might think this is our life style. It was long time ago. Not anymore. Life is changing, world is changing. We cannot remaining stagnant just a culture. Too much money coming to Masai Mara only few individuals are benefiting. And Maasai cannot get even a little, even a quarter of those financial supports. Maasai staying behind and dying of hunger and simple diseases. Especially now AIDS is rising among Maasai"
"What is government is doing?"
"Government is none concern."

Some parts of the letters...

...Money and fertile part of Masai land are divided among the most arrogant men who are the Maasai chiefs and the directors of group ranchers. One person, * he is the director, chairperson and secretary same time. How is it possible?
In addition his signatories- his puppets- meant to work for him and they will get some hash money. Therefore director retain their salaries, extensively oppress them and force them to sign his entire cheque book so he can withdraw any amount he desires. Concerning only new leaders enjoying the most luxurious life in the most expensive hotels in Narok, Nakuru and Nairobi.
Those dictators leaving out every poor, common, local Maasai into their hopeless life...

...Narok town county council is one of the richest and most corrupt district among other. It is Masai Mara Revenue Collection from tourists, and wheat, barley, livestock, maize, timber, potatoes, charcoal, hides and skin. Total collection is average...one million, six hundred thousand (Kenya Shilling)per day. Almost four billion a year. And yearly foreign aid is not included.
This council could have taking Maasai out of object poverty. This council has not even constructed a simple water hole for community. There is money, too much money for scholarship but only rich children get sponsorship...

...Every year millions of Dollars from game reserve and from other countries pouring into Narok county... into wrong hands and wrong purposes. It seems no one can take control over this money laundering office...

SHAME ON YOU MAASAI LEADERS...!

"To allow your children to grow this way...!"	"To allow your women to live this way...!"
"To allow your community to drink water this way...!"	"And allow your children to learn this way...!"

To you Maasai leaders...

You having more than enough to make Kenya one of the richest countries in Africa!

* "Group Ranchers were stealing and sharing money for years and years from Park. However, April/2006 they have been vanished. Now they are thinking different ways to steal the money. After all everybody knows what they are doing...!
We shall inform you later on with every single detail. And about Pastors, Head teachers, Women's groups and NGO's in Masai Mara.
It is amazing. We are seeing everything and we still cannot believe what is happening. We wonder how you will believe."

* "We are calling International Human Rights Organization to finish this injustice in Masai Mara...We want to talk to any news paper, any TV channel to express our bitterness and anger. We are very tired of this injustice and inhumanity going on among the Maasai."

(NAFIworld has enough video films about Talking Maasai men. Filming Talking Maasai men took several years.
They are available upon request.)
