Only days after two attacks left 64 people dead in Mandera, the town is suffering with health facilities in Mandera County closed down following resignation and desertion of duty by more than 50 medics. This follows recent attacks by suspected Al Shabaab militants that claimed 64 lives.
Speaking during Jamhuri Day celebrations in Mandera stadium on Friday, Mandera Governor Ali Roba said several schools might not reopen next year after more than 150 teachers requested for transfers despite assurance of their safety by the national government.
