Kenya: Environmental activists campaign against Lamu port project

Kenya: Environmental activists campaign against Lamu port project

Environmentalists in northeast Kenya are campaigning against a major construction project which they say is taking place on land grabbed illegally.

The Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor project is worth an estimated $24.5bn. Activists say it will damage the environment.

But the government has accused the activists of standing in the way of progress, even labelling them as "terrorists".
