Guy from Tanzania with 25 children and three wives complains of drought that was allegedly caused by the unsustainable lifestyles of Americans with one wife and two kids

Masaai turn to charcoal burning for survival

"For the last four years, no rain here, all the grass and shrubs have dried, I had 83 cows but now I have remained with only five, we used to depend on milk and blood from cows for food but now we are starving," says a 50 year old Sayiti Olesayine who has fathered 25 children from his three wives.
"But now don't you see me I am weak, no blood, no milk, we depend on maize flour and posho," he says adding that the little money brought in by his elder son who is employed as a security guard supports them to buy the flour.
"My wives have now turned to burning charcoal from the drying short trees which they sell to Longido trading centre and government recently gave us maize flour which we are surviving on temporarily," he told journalists who attended a three day Climate Change Journalism workshop organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Centre for Journalists (ICFJ) in Arusha, Tanzania.
