Thousands of villagers in northern Kenya fled their homes in fear on Thursday as new interclan violence wracked parts of the remote region after a brutal massacre and a reprisal attack killed at least 76 people this week, officials and residents of the area said.

New interclan violence wracked parts of remote northern Kenya overnight after a brutal village massacre and reprisal attack killed at least 76 people this week, officials and residents of the region said on Thursday. Members of the rival Borana and Gabra clans continued to clash following Tuesday’s attack, they said.

Sixty-six people, at least 22 of them children, were killed in a brutal raid on a remote village in northeastern Kenya in what is believed to be the country’s worst single episode of inter-clan violence to date. ”The situation is very sad on the ground, everybody is mourning the dead,” said Bonaya Godana, a former Kenyan foreign minister.
