A battle for livestock between Ethiopian and Kenyan nomads has left 38 people dead in drought-stricken northern Kenya, official and aid workers said on Thursday. Dongiro warriors crossed into Kenya last Friday and attacked Turkana herdsmen in order to steal their animals, said the district commissioner for Turkana.
Rustlers shot and killed 10 people, including five children, in two raids in northern Kenya and set dozens of huts on fire before stealing thousands of goats and hundreds of camels, officials said on Thursday. Security forces were pursuing the two groups of attackers who were attempting to return to their home villages.
