TURKANA, Kenya - The branches on trees around Kenya’s northern town of Lodwar have been stripped bare of leaves, bending downwards under the weight of voracious young locusts.

The new generation has hatched in Turkana, Kenya’s poorest region. The young locusts are eating everything in sight, and when their wings mature the swarms will be able to travel up to 130 kilometres in a day. “The locusts have come to destabilise an already bad situation,” said Daniel Kirura, head of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Turkana.

Net them, fry them, eat them. Two birds with one stone.

Not good

Well we've had the fires, floods and plague so with the locusts there's only the 4 horsemen to go.....

Not only China is generating pandemics but now Africa is sending swarms of billions of locusts and huge dust storms from Sahara to South America. Damn! When it rains shit, it pours in SA developing countries 😤

How many plagues can the world cope with? Is him upstairs trying to tell us all something? Seems biblical to say the least

Håber ikke de lever efter SlothKristian fra greenpeacedk og HenrikHindby’s princip om, fra mark til mund, for så er der ikke noget til munden mere. 🤨

Just great...locusts!

Dig the freaking holes like it used to be done, then burn them dam things!

Yes, we were missing the locusts in 2020.

Stop it 2020!
