Turkana women carry dead animals they lost due to a biting drought that has ravaged livestock population in nothern Kenya near Lokitaung in Turkana county on March 20, 2017. In just a few years water, oil and money would flow. Roads, schools and hospitals would follow. Turkana' s generations of poverty and neglect in Kenya' s arid north would end. But it was not to be: five years after the discovery of oil, and four since a giant aquifer was found, drought has struck again, shattering the dreams of a different future for Turkana, a bone dry region of dust and stone, home to mostly semi- nomadic livestock herders and lacking the most basic trappings of modernity.
