Locusts infest north-east Kenyan district

Swarms of locusts have infested parts of north-eastern Kenya’s district of Mandera, ravaging pasture and crops in the arid area frequently hit by drought, officials said. Mandera district commissioner Naftali Mung’athia said the pests had destroyed crops on smallholder farms along the River Dauwa.
