Nine years after a landmark 2017 ruling by the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights recognized the Ogiek people as ancestral owners of Kenya's Mau Forest, they continue to face evictions and exclusion from their ancestral lands.

• Despite the court's affirmation of their rights and subsequent orders in 2022 for reparations and land titling, implementation has stalled.
• The Ogiek community, estimated at 20,000-30,000 members, have lived in the Mau Forest for generations.
• Community leaders, including John Samorai, report continued evictions and a lack of action from the government, even on simple orders like publishing the court's judgments.
