THE CONTINUING QUARRY EXCAVATION BY MASONS AND QUARRY WORKERS ON RANGES OF HILLS OR MOUNTAINS IS A WORRYING TREND

NGBM Executive Director Mr. Abdikalif Adan previously appreciated the beautify of mountains and hills scenes around Mandera county. In regard, contemplated dreams of greening hills tops with very attractive flora. NGBM is proudly touched by the beauty, diversity and its significance for protectionism.

We learned many forms of hills damages that many have not yet discovered. NGBM volunteer's team had the opportunity of raising several alarm over the widespread of the Quarry activities that is damaging Mandera County hills that brings us great sadness to hear the news of the quarry activities that are still ongoing.

In many years of hills strength memories, it will never be the same as many people will only have beautiful memories of childhood of the hills that they will live on where many lived around raised their children and animals in these once beautiful hills surrounding.

The people that worked and/or lived in the affected and surrounding areas were very friendly, illiterate nomadic pastrolist people who doesn't know the importance of preserving hills.

At this time, conditions remain extremely dangerous with increased deforestation we witnessed. In addition, unpredicted, extreme weather conditions on high winds will also caused numerous few trees that remained to fall and environmental degradation that is increasing to continue until further action is taken.

NGBM are working to assess the damaged caused by quarry people and coordinate with local communities to provide structure protection. We are surely going to pray for these quarry activities to be stopped. This is terrible for all of us. Hopefully conditions will change soon and put out these before more damage is done.

Let this be contained and over soon as NGBM will sincerely support those who call the hill special place they call home. NGBM thoughts are with all the nomadic pastrolist residents, the beautiful hills landscape and all the animals that live there. In future, the hills if protected, planted Trees well the trees will regrow and the old hills will again live as the picnic area.
