On June 8, dozens of police trucks and an estimated 700 officers gathered in Loliondo, N. Tanzania, near the world-famous Serengeti National Park, to designate a 1,500-square-kilometer piece of Maasai territory as a Game Reserve. On June 10, they opened fire on Maasai protesters, injuring 13 with machetes and shooting at least 18 men and 13 women. One individual has been confirmed dead.
