The root causes of insecurity in Marsabit and their solution

The security situation in Marsabit County continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate.  The county recorded security incidents with varying degrees of severity in the past two years in Forole, along the Moyale-Ethiopia border, and more recently in Moyale and Marsabit where some people were killed in Songa and Badan Rero respectively.

Marsabit is home to some 14 indigenous groups, with Rendille, Gabra and Boran communities dominating in population and settlement areas inhabited. These three communities together influence and drive social, political and economic agenda.
