Description
There is a beautiful part of Kenya Called Isiolo. Great place, beautiful People.
As usual, there is a story to go with it. On one side Isiolo County is bordering Meru County.
Now the crazy part is this; some of the inhabitants of isiolo County are the Somalis who as all pastoralists do, love their cows. They treat cows really well. They say that cows give you so much. Milk, meat, skin, manure and many other things. The Meru people on the other hand love cows some, but what they use them for makes the Somali people kind of pissed. They use cows to carry stuff! Sometimes they do a little overloading and that is simply not good according to the Somali people.
So, Once in a while when the Somali meet the Meru people and their cows carrying stuff, they might just rough them up and carry away the cows. They actually confiscate the cows since they believe they are better custodians of these animals. The Meru Guy who suffers the fate must then figure out whether to get other cows for his load or decide to carry the load himself! Such is life out here in this our sweet Africa!
