Preventing a plague: Fighting Kenya’s locusts
There are increasing fears for food security in East Africa, with mounting evidence of a new wave of desert locusts.

When the first wave hit, Albert Lemasulani gave up his life to fight the swarms – leaving his family, his goats and his newborn son behind to try and prevent a plague.
