Tanzania Wednesday said it would tackle "illegal immigrants" in the northeastern area of Loliondo, where it has alleged Kenyan Maasai pastoralists are supporting opponents to a planned wildlife protection area.

The Maasai of Loliondo have accused the government of trying to force them off their land in order to organise safaris and hunting expeditions.
