MANDERA COUNTY: The perennial conflicts between the Garre and Degodia clans of Mandera and Wajir counties have been attributed to political and historical border disputes.

Some 75,000 people have been left homeless and scores killed, according to Kenya Red Cross Society following the recent attacks. The wars escalated two months ago after three Degodia men, on a road construction mission on Burmayo- Fincharo Road, near Kutulo on the border of Mandera and Wajir were killed.
