Lokichar
Lokichar is a settlement in Kenya's Rift Valley Province. Lokichar is situated in the heart of the dusty and arid Turkana basin (desert) in the Rift Valley, 550km north-east of Nairobi. Until 2010 it was a forgotten backwater of Turakana cattle-based pastorists with a pre-2010 population under 1,000. The principal activity was basket weaving and other native crafts to cater for the sparse traffic. The 2011 recent discovery of possible oil by Tullow Oil, talk of the Uganda/South Sudan oil pipeline to Lamu passing through, and the opening of the border to the new state of South Sudan has started to transform its prospects. The 2012 population for the area is 2,000 and rising. There is a small non-commercial airport. == External links ==
