President Samia Suluhu Hassan today launched two new commissions aimed at addressing key issues affecting the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, speaking at a gathering in Dar es Salaam.
The commissions will focus on the ongoing land disputes in the area and the voluntary relocation of the local Maasai community, which has been a subject of much discussion and concern.
During her address, President Samia emphasized her commitment to finding peaceful, lasting solutions for both the environment and the people who live in Ngorongoro. “We need to ensure that both the land and the people are treated fairly, and that we work together to find a solution that benefits everyone,” she stated.
One of the commissions will be looking into the land conflict in Ngorongoro, which has been a long-standing issue. The conservation efforts in the area often clash with the needs of the Maasai people, who rely on the land for grazing their livestock. Over time, tensions have risen between conservationists, the government, and the Maasai community, all of whom have a stake in the future of the land.
The second commission will focus on the voluntary relocation of residents in the area, a move that has sparked debate. While the government sees relocation as a way to preserve the environment, others worry about the impact it could have on the Maasai’s way of life. President Samia reassured everyone that the relocation process would not be forced, and would instead give people the choice to move if it was in their best interest. “This isn’t about forcing anyone to leave, but about providing a choice that ensures the well-being of both the people and the land,” she explained.
The event saw the participation of local leaders, conservationists, and other stakeholders, all of whom were keen to collaborate on solutions. President Samia highlighted the importance of working together to address the challenges in Ngorongoro, urging that all actions taken must be transparent and in the best interest of both the people and the environment.

“This is not an easy task, but we have to come together and work as one to solve these problems,” said President Samia, stressing the need for unity and understanding in handling such complex issues.
As the government moves forward with these commissions, it is clear that they want to find a balance between conservation efforts and the needs of the local communities. The outcome of these commissions will be crucial not only for Ngorongoro but also as a model for resolving similar issues in other parts of the country.
The launch of these commissions marks a significant step in addressing the pressing issues in Ngorongoro, and the government is hopeful that they will lead to a peaceful resolution that benefits both the people and the environment.
