Lagdera MP Mohamed Shidiye has

urged the national government to restore

law and order on the Isiolo-Garissa

border following a spate of killings

involving the Boranas and the

Somalis.

More than 10 people have been

killed in the past month and hundreds displaced.

Livestock has also been stolen.

Speaking in Garissa town, Shidiye

said the crisis might worsen.

The source of the confl ict is said to

be the scramble for pasture and water,

with each community accusing the

other of invading its territory.

The latest incident was on Saturday

morning, when a group of Borana militias

raided Tana village, 70km from

Garbatula town towards Isiolo South,

and shot dead two brothers,

Yusuf

Dubow and Abdi Dubow.
