Until now, the main problem with fighting locust invasions has been accessing real-time information.

With the E-Locust app, authorities can now spot and kill the locusts before the formation of swam. However, the success depends on the expertise and dedication of the locust scouts.

Ton Pied, Mon Pied by Blanche Bailly (Cameroon)<\/h2>\nAfter listening to Blache Bailly\u2019s \u2018Argent\u2019 last week, it was impossible not to check out more of her songs. Ton Pied, Mon Pied was the next song I found. However, unlike Argent, \u2018Ton Pied, Mon Pied\u2019 has slices of English lyrics. As usual, this is one of the African music videos that flaunts African fabrics. However, the video tells the story of love and how a man should protect her woman. Even without listening to the lyrics, you will still understand the story. A masterpiece if you ask me.\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TgxPoqAnik4\nJoy Joy by Black Motion ft. Brenden Praise (South Africa)<\/h2>\nWhen this video started, I almost thought that I was watching an old mafia classic. It must have been the black and white color of the video that tricked me. The song maintains a cool tempo until some guys arrive on state and kicked it up a notch. The lyrics and the rendition are easy to follow. It can as well be the tone that gets you off on a boring day. I would like to know what you feel about this song too. For me, it is a mixed feeling.\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jCg5-SoSe2o\nMuGarden by Winky D ft, Gemma Griffiths (Zimbabwe)<\/h2>\nWinky D<\/a> is one of Zimbabwe\u2019s finest reggae artists. However, MuGarden is one of the African music videos that creatively portray the continent\u2019s rich forest. The video begins with the flipping of a book to reveal an African forest. Next, Winky D and Gemma Griffiths are all robed in leaves. At first glance, this video made me think about Adam and Eve in the Bible. The editing and graphic manipulation are superb such that you will have a hard time figuring out the real forest from the fake one. Love certainly has no boundaries.\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rXWMqXWfwK0\nMaria PM by Fally Ipupa (Congo)<\/h2>\nFally Ipupa needs no introduction. However, the lyrics of this song will introduce you to Maria, a woman that has stolen his heart. This is one of the African music videos that have little Africanism. Considering that he renders this cool song in French, you can almost believe that it was done by a French musician. However, Maria still bears the signature of Fally Ipupa\u2019s style which is unmistakable\u2014especially at the chorus.\n

Locust swarms are resilient and can travel 150 km (93 miles) a day with the help of the wind. A locust swarm of about one square kilometer can consume as much food as thirty-five thousand people. The FAO predicts the swarm formation in Kenya will continue until mid-July. Also, reports have it that with the help of E-Locust, officials treated about 30,830 hectares against locust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
