Elders and security officials from Isiolo, Wajir, and Garissa counties convened in Sericho ward, isiolo south constituency, for an inter-county peace and security meeting aimed at averting clashes as drought continues to ravage the northern region.
The meeting focused on preventing the escalation of resource-based conflicts as pastoralists from the three counties migrate in search of pasture and water for their livestock. Residents of Sericho location in Garbatulla sub-county raised concerns over the growing influx of livestock from within Isiolo county and neighboring regions, warning that increased pressure on already scarce resources could heighten tensions and trigger conflict.
