    Fear and uncertainty continue to grip Moyale along the Kenya-Ethiopia border as fighting rages on the Ethiopian side between armed groups from the Oromo and Somali communities. Police have confirmed the death of one Kenyan in the crossfire, although residents put the death toll higher. Meanwhile, the number of people fleeing the violence into Kenya in search of safety has risen to 50,000. During a visit to Moyale, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja sought to reassure residents of their security, saying the government was pursuing diplomatic efforts to find a lasting solution and end the fighting.
