Yes I believe providing them water - is one solution. The pokots and others are facing an existential threat from desertification. They need water - and their cattle need water and pasture.
The gunshots are definitely not g3 or ak47 - but m16 - they have upgraded their weapons.
Gov will screw this up... Pokot are not folks you push to a wall...they will fight to last man. You need to talk to their leaders - and find out what exactly is going on - and they will solve the problem
Brits tried and failed. Jomo tried. Moi did an expedition almost every year - nothing. He arrested Pokots leaders- nothing. Kibaki was most friendly to Pokot and Marakwet - and they were very peaceful - even in 2007 - they refused to be involved in PEV
Uhuru and Ruto went hard on pokot after cries from Tugen and Marakwet nothing - doing.
Pokot need to be heard. You may discover they dont need a lot - just water and some pasture for their cattle.
Everything there is drought this happens
