We need strong resolve to rebuild the bleeding north

For a couple of weeks, the national conversation has been on the conflict in northern Kenya. The conflict is not new in our history and so before we forget and move on to another phase, it is important to continue with this conversation.

One of the sources of the conflict among the pastoral communities has been identified as marginalisation that we have over the years failed to deal with. This has left many people, especially the youth hopeless and vulnerable to incitement hence drawing into criminal activities.
