Camouflaged Crimes: A breastfeeding mother's near-death incident in suspected army bomb blast
A woman in Samburu sat down to breastfeed her child, and in that intimate bonding moment with her baby, tragedy struck. A bomb went off. The bomb, believed to be an unexploded ordnance from military activity, did not harm her baby, but almost cost a 7-year-old boy his hand.
This is yet another incident in Samburu county where residents come into contact with the unexploded ordnances or bombs, leaving a trail of pain, and death in some cases.
In July this year, Ngina Kirori brought you a three-part series, Camouflaged Crimes, highlighting the sufferings of people and communities in various counties on account of the activities of the British Army Training Unit in Kenya, BATUK.
In this special report, she brings to the fore yet another incident along the same thread of tragedies.

Sweet but deadly Tharaka Nithi honey || 12 minutes
At least 13 people have died after consuming wild honey locally known as Nchuura in Tharaka Nithi county in the last two years. Since 2019, Tharaka North constituency hits headlines as people die and scores hospitalized following the same. Nchuura is not made by common bees but by a species of smaller ones locally known as tuchuura, which do not sting and mainly live in hollow tress or abandoned burrows in the ground. Locals believe that the honey which is eaten raw, is medicinal and it is highly sought after, especially by pastoralists. The locals say Nchuura is sweeter than the normal honey and they cannot resist its sweetness despite it being deadly.
