About 50 kilometres north of Mandera Town lies Rhamu town, known more for its searing heat, huge flocks of livestock and occasional skirmishes between the majority Garre and minority Degodia Somali sub-clans over the pasture.
But Rhamu is not all about livestock, pasture and clan flare-ups, it is also about River Daua, a flowing source of livelihood that originates in the Ethiopian Highlands and courses its way across some of the richest farmlands in northern Kenya where it is the physical boundary between Kenya and Ethiopia in most of Mandera County.
