this is a turning point not only for the entire minority group community the world over, but for the entire groups of people who have remained without guaranteed access and ownership rights to land. thanks all for the great effort. this should certainly serve to be a wake up call to various governments which have had a penchant for violating human rights for people under their sovereign jurisdictions.
God bless you all

Many are happy and celebrates about the recent victory of Endorois community but I am little bit sad and scared of her future.Saddened by the past history about the harrassment and intimidation of this minority community by the Government for over many years.A land cabable of providing food for themselves, a land in a middle of milk and honey but community relies on WFP,UNCHR and other Wellwishers Relief foods and supplies(this is what they know how best and the pride of this nation), people who able to speak for themselves but there rights invringed and eroded by this beloved Government Agencies i.e the county council and Kenya Wild life Service but to whom much is given much is expected, ....if I should tell him to shut up then stone shall talk says the scriptures.Patience has a limit and a capacity to anything that has feelings and this is the limit beyond which we can take and sustained.I am still appealing for AU to closely monitor and support this Minority community to her maxims and sole dependency if not for the development of this community then for humanity.To the Endorois Committee, consult widely with an open mind but remember the eye do not lie, we are watching your eyes very critically and superiorly for the interest of the whole community at heart.

Considering how people lose their homes because of hurricanes or floods, some don't have anything to eat because of the drought, all we have is our rights. When those are taken away we don't feel human anymore. Good thing Kenya got its rights back.

Congratulations to all who made the ENDOROIS case a
success.

To facilitators
It was very shocking that anybody who had a contrary opinion which could be important was not involved. I hope, in the final proces of engaging contensious issues with Government of kenya you will not use SELECTIVE HONESTY as it was in the first case. This a red FLAG that can render the whole proces useless if not looked at.

And to the Endorois Welfare Mangement Comitte leaders;
Subtle hints dont work, let me hope that you are true agents of change and DEMOCRACY. any hiden agenda will derail the journey to PROMISED LAND. STOP! and Check your oil Please.

congrats for endorois, very inspiring me...

I am one of the happiest man that now the endorois community are free from the exiles of kenyan government and that now they will have a sound on their ancestral land and lie in their land without fear of any neither the government or their neighbours .Thanks AU for what you did to the community.

I am a fan of Human Rights advocacy and what I've just watched is indeed a display of Human Rights violation. This is the reason why I am taking up Law here in the Philippines. I wanted to help lessen if not eradicate such violations.

We read with joy the restoration of rights to ancestoral land to the Endorois of Kenya. It is gratifying that at last, when all hope was almost lost, the AU rose to the challenge and did the right thing. The AU like its predecessor the OAU which left this case hanging, has had its own weaknesses, but there is time for everything. There was time for the harassment of innocent Endorois and time to restore their rights. This is a good precedent and the AU should listen to other silenced minorities and ensure their rights are protected, defended and promoted. Lest we forget, we have San people and pygmies in Zambia and other Southern African countries who need full care and support. And the Albinos are being slaughtered like sheep in Tanzania, Burundi and other nearby countries. We can't leave this battle to Tanzanian leader Jkaya Kikwete and UN Chief Ban Ki Moon. The AU should take a lead on these matters and it should not take close to 40 years for justice to prevail. Now that the Endorois case has been concluded, the AU should address other problems facing indigenous and tribal minorities, and other minorities like Albinos on the continent.
