<div>                Thanks Ken for sharing this very elaborate document on IGAD protocols on transhumance. It looks exciting to see such stems taken but of course it has never been an issue to put down that way as the main challenge remains on the implementation. IGAD has touched a very sensitive part regarding the mobility of livestock in such of pastures and water and there a very urgent need for concerned IGAD member states to ensure that this is made practical. The proposed measures by IGAD states should not just end with the issuance of certificate but also to address other factors that occur as a result of the migrations to cross the borders in search of pasture/water during drought time, e.g handling of illegal firearms and high competitions to access the acute natural resources in the host country as this may lead into another deep conflict in the end.<br>Many thanks. <br><br>ROMANO Longole<br>PEACE MANAGER<br>Holy Trinity Peace Village Kuron<br>Kapoeta East County, Eastern Equatoria State - SOUTH SUDAN<br>MOBILE TELEPHONE No: +256 789 83 7576 (WhatsApp)<br><br><br>            </div>            <div class="yahoo_quoted" style="margin:10px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid #ccc;padding-left:1ex;">                        <div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;">                                <div>                    On Wednesday, 9 December 2020, 11:45:08 GMT+3, 'Ken Otieno' via CELEP (Coalition for European Lobbies on Eastern African Pastoralism) <celep-eu@googlegroups.com> wrote:                </div>                <div><br></div>                <div><br></div>                <div><div id="yiv5862532637"><style>#yiv5862532637 #yiv5862532637 --  _filtered {} _filtered {} _filtered {} _filtered {}#yiv5862532637  #yiv5862532637 p.yiv5862532637MsoNormal, #yiv5862532637 li.yiv5862532637MsoNormal, #yiv5862532637 div.yiv5862532637MsoNormal  {margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;}#yiv5862532637 a:link, #yiv5862532637 span.yiv5862532637MsoHyperlink  {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv5862532637 a:visited, #yiv5862532637 span.yiv5862532637MsoHyperlinkFollowed  {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv5862532637 p       {margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;}#yiv5862532637 span.yiv5862532637EmailStyle18 {font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;}#yiv5862532637 .yiv5862532637MsoChpDefault       {font-family:sans-serif;} _filtered {}#yiv5862532637 div.yiv5862532637WordSection1      {}#yiv5862532637 </style><div><div class="yiv5862532637WordSection1"><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" name="_MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Great! </span></a></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">  </span></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Thanks for sharing.</span></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">  </span></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Ken </span></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">  </span></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">  </span></i></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Peter K. Otieno</span></b></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Ag. Executive Director RECONCILE,  Technical Cordinator Rangelands Initiative Africa Component &|Regional Focal Point for CELEP|Cel. +254 722 90 22 23|+254 722 25 60 59</span></i></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Email: </span></i><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:kenotieno@reconcile-ea.org%7Cpeterkenotieno009@gmail.com%7CSkype" target="_blank" href="mailto:kenotieno@reconcile-ea.org%7Cpeterkenotieno009@gmail.com%7CSkype"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#0563C1;">kenotieno@reconcile-ea.org|peterkenotieno009@gmail.com|Skype</span></i></a><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">: ken_otieno|Twitter @rangelands_2016 </span></i></p><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">  </span></p><div class="yiv5862532637yqt6325912531" id="yiv5862532637yqt05144"><p class="yiv5862532637MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;" lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;" lang="EN-US"> celep-eu@googlegroups.com [mailto:celep-eu@googlegroups.com] <b>
