A Response to Ekal Imana: Past Mistakes of the Turkanas and Lessons to be Learned

By Immanuel Lokwei, I think that of late, like the last ten years or so, the Pokots have had an upper hand both militarily and diplomatically. I think you [Mr. Imana] are quite right that this ethnic fighting has been unidirectional, “starts from Pokot and ends in Turkana.” But let us ask ourselves, why have … Continue reading A Response to Ekal Imana: Past Mistakes of the Turkanas and Lessons to be Learned →

Turkana-Pokot Conflict is a One-Sided Aggression: The Pokots always attack, while the Turkanas are Unresponsive

By Ekal Imana, I do not know if you understand the nature of the current insecurity problem.

By Immanuel Lokwei, (This article makes better sense read the fourth-time). If the Pokots are the grass[1], Turkanas should be the wind. Confucius[2] says, “The essence of the gentleman is that of wind; the essence of small people is that of grass. And when a wind passes over the grass, it [grass] cannot choose but … Continue reading Reclaiming the Nomadic Spirit in the Face of Materialistic Conflict: Turkana-Pokot Conflict and the Threat to the Nomadic Spirit →

Making Peace with These People [Pokots] is A Waste of Time

By Ekal Imana, (Criticism of "Turkanas for Pokots Liberation: De-Domesticating Pastoralism" article) Lokwei, Are you a Turkana or a pokot dressed in Turkana skin? Your suggestion makes sense, but, I wonder how old you are, and if young, where you have been in these years the pokots have been attacking Turkana with abandon? 1.
