Three politicians from Europe claim that the Tanzanian government has stopped them from going to the country to look into the forced removals of the native Maasai people.
The three members of the Green Party, Michele Rivasi, Claude Gruffat, and Pierrette Herzberger-Fofana, said that they were supposed to start their visit on Monday but they were told less than 24 hours before that it had been delayed.
They said it was the third time that they were not allowed to go on a mission to observe something since the end of last year.
The Maasai say they were kicked out of their traditional home in the northern part of the country without their consent.
The government says that the people who live in this area have chosen to move on their own, because it is important to protect the environment.
