I am routing for you. I had a nice girlfriend from Tigania. I should have married that woman. I understand. Sound like you're at the center of the sahara desert frontier - and it's going to get nasty.
Question - why dont kenya police - matiangi and company put enough police and police stations. It not good to lose that many people over pasture and water.
If I was president of kenya I will copy wazungu - if there any tribal conflict - curve out a 10 mile border - gov complusorly acquires it - and use the land - for training or as forest or anything - fence it off - any kabila crossing the 10 mile - with cattle or etc - will be arrested.
We need 10 mile strip basically btw Merus and everyone else. Btw Turkana and Pokot. Pokot and Marakwet/Tugen. Pokot and Samburu.
Even 1/2 mile border is enough. Btw Bomet and Narok runs a Nusu Mile border - which ended cattle rustling btw Kipsigis and Maasai - you cross that nusu mile - all your cattle or camels are confisticated by police and sold.
We need to recognise all these counties are nations - and we need to enact half a mile border all over them - that half a mile should be no mans land - illegally to cross with cattle or name it - except through proper border points.
I think have stated here severally that the balance of power shifted when government disarmed Merus and left neighbouring communities well armed. This would never happen some years ago but Merus are vulnerable coz of this. But not for long those camel herdeds know that's the last time they set foot in Meru generally this also presents a new headache for Merus as the attackers are Believed to be Somalis. Somalis haven't attacked Merus for a very long time them and Samburus had given up on knowing this is futile as payback is usually nasty, they chose to pay Meru farmers to graze on land or employ Turkanas and Boranas who are the remaining ones attacking Merus here and there but on small scales,Somalis can think they will disappear into Wajir without a trace and hence the motivation.
But keep watching news and it will be the other side crying. Normally when enemy kabilas attack Meru border communities they kill indiscriminately this is because they are afraid of being captured by venturing deep and also don't have the ability to hit their preffered targets.
When Merus Arm my friend ata wewe apo Bomet toroka. Merus armed in around 2012-13 against Samburu, it wasn't very good and that's how Samburus quit attacking Merus.
This current problem started on Wednesday when women chased away camel herders from their farms. So the Somalis struck back at night
