By WAWERU WAIRIMU More by this AuthorThe government’s war on desert locusts that continue to wreak havoc in Northern Kenya could soon be over. This follows reports by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that swarms will migrate northwards across South Sudan, which is experiencing rains, to breeding areas in that country. The agency said new swarms reported in Somalia could migrate to summer breeding areas along the India-Pakistan border where breeding continues asking the two countries to take preparatory steps. The agency notes that more swarms are likely to form in Northern Somalia in coming weeks. Some of the swarms could migrate from Yemen to Northern Somalia and Northeast Ethiopia.
