It examines major river basin development underway in the semi-arid borderlands of Ethiopia, Kenya and South Sudan and its disastrous human rights consequences for a half-million indigenous people. The volume traces the historical origins of Gibe III megadam construction along the Omo River in Ethiopia—in turn, enabling irrigation for commercial-scale agricultural development and causing radical reduction of downstream Omo and (Kenya's) Lake Turkana waters. Presenting case studies of indigenous Dasanech and northernmost Turkana livelihood systems and Gibe III linked impacts on them, the author predicts agropastoral and fishing economic collapse, region-wide hunger with exposure to disease epidemics, irreversible natural resource destruction and cross-border interethnic armed conflict spilling into South Sudan.enConsequences for the Ilemi Triangle and the Broader RegionConsequences for the Lower Omo River BasinCross-Border Armed Conflict in Pastoral East AfricaEthiopian Government And Development Bank Impact AssessmentsFate of the Riverine Forest and its ResourcesGibe III Dam Project in EthiopiaGlobal finance and African governmentsGovernment Eviction of Indigenous CommunitiesIndigenous Livelihood In The Lake Turkana RegionIndigenous Survival StrategiesInterethnic Conflict Over Diminishing ResourcesLower Omo Basin Plant Species ListNorthwestern Lake Turkana’sShorelineNyangatom Livelihood in the Omo River ZoneOmo River and Lake TurkanaSeismic Threat and Dam CollapseSocial And Environmental Consequences Of The Proposed DamU.S. Geological Survey Report on Seismic RiskHuman Rights in Eastern AfricaOpen Access.Resource Types::text::book
