Three people have been killed and scores wounded in a fierce gun battle between two rival groups of herders along Isiolo-Garissa border.<\/p>\n
The gun fight started at around 6 am Tuesday morning at Janju after members of one village attacked residents of a neighboring village. Janju is near Modogashe in Garba-Tula District, Isiolo County.<\/p>\n
Garba-Tula Deputy County Commissioner Victor Kamonde has said so far three people are confirmed dead while several others have sustained gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n
The Borana from Garba-Tula in Isiolo and their Aulihan counterpart from Lagdera in Garissa have had a long history of conflict with the recent one dating back to 2015 where hundreds have been killed and thousands of families displaced.<\/p>\n
The two sides are also involved in border disputes in areas like Eldera and Kambi Samaki.<\/p>\n
The Borana were displaced from Eldera four months ago and the displaced families are camping in Garba-Tula town.<\/p>\n
Eight candidates from Eldera Primary School did their KCPE at Modogashe. KCPE and KCSE scripts for Modogashe and Sericho areas were airlifted by a chopper after bandits attacked motorists along Garba-Tula-Modogashe road.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kamonde said a joint security team from Garba-Tula and Lagdera are patrolling the affected areas in a bid to unite warring communities.<\/p>\n
