Visiting Marsabit County last week for the first time, I couldn't help but admire the people's undying spirit in a place considered insecure and unattractive.
Upon arrival, I was shown the hillside as you approach Marsabit town, the site of the air crash that killed 14 peace ambassadors on April 10, 2006. From Marsabit Central, Turbi, Loyangalani to North Horr, the excruciating terrain makes visitors feel they aren't in Kenya anymore. I was to be asked: 'Habari ya Kenya?'
