More than 200 youth from pastoralist communities in Isiolo, Samburu and Marsabit participated in a 32-kilometre peace marathon from Kipsing Township in Oldonyiro Ward to Mlango Anti-Stock Theft Unit in Burat Ward, Isiolo County, amid calls for strengthening security in the region.
The fifth edition of the Peace Ultra Marathon Isiolo featured community dialogues and cultural activities aimed at promoting peaceful coexistence and curbing cattle rustling. Stakeholders present say involving young people in peacebuilding is key to strengthening relations among communities, while calling on the national government to fast-track the establishment of a police station at Kipsing.
