The UK has ended up paying 7,723 Kenyans and an environmental organization about £2.9 million right over the 2021 Lolldaiga Hills wildfire, which was caused by British soldiers. Some victims say the payouts are insufficient, while activists want the UK-Kenya defense pact reviewed. The settlement is seen as a precedent for suing foreign forces in Kenyan courts.
