The soil cracked an unprecedented giant split the African continent

Abnormal geological activity occurring beneath the surface of the Earth is thought to be dividing the African continent in half.

According to the Daily Star, the video shows a large crack in Kenya's Rift valley area . The crack destroyed a main road and a 72-year-old woman's house.

The image was taken by a remote control aircraft, showing a crack as deep as 19 meters and about 15 meters wide.

Geologist David Ahede explained why this strange path occurred in an interview with local television channel NT.

'The giant crack bisects the African continent,' said Ahede. 'With what is happening here, we think the Somali plate is separated from other parts of the continent at the current level of 2.5cm '.

'In the near future, we will see Somali fragments separate from other areas,' Mr. Ahede added. 'Researchers need to go in to assess whether the area is dangerous, should not build houses or build big roads'.

'This is an important factor to avoid future disasters'.

Many residents in the area left their homes to evacuate, after the 72-year-old's house was destroyed because of the impact of the giant crack. Mrs. Mary Wambui said staying here 'is like waiting for death'.

Mrs. Wambui's house was split in half on March 19, after the ground suddenly split off at the foot of a family member.
