Fertile Turkana belt that no one wants to occupy

The 26-kilometre stretch between Lokichoggio and Nadapal along the Kenya/Sudan border is considered the most fertile belt in Turkana County. The vegetation in the picturesque landscape, with spectacular hills, is ever green, yet the region experiences little rainfall most of the year.

But despite the natural splendour, these are dangerous killing fields where thousands have died during pitched battles between the locals and the Toposa militia of South Sudan. To avoid the violence, herdsmen  drive their cattle to safer pastures in Uganda when they cannot get protection from the Kenya Police Reservists.
