Since
May, a low-level conflict in the Kerio Valley between Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet
and West Pokot counties has left more than 30 people dead and many others
displaced from their homes and farms.
Competition
over access and control of dwindling grazing resources along River Kerio,
ethnic bigotry and political differences have been blamed for the conflict in
the valley that has been relatively peaceful until now.
