OPINION
Mohammed Guleid.
It is with tears of pain that I write this column. People of Isiolo and neighbouring counties are slowly bleeding and hurting. In the last few weeks more than two-dozen people have died due to inter-ethnic conflicts. Many more have been injured and are nursing their wounds in various hospitals.
Unfortunately, many victims are young people who otherwise should have had a bright future ahead of them. A woman I spoke to, whose husband was killed in his sleep, said she was left with eight children and homeless after their house was torched by marauding youth brandishing guns and riding on motorcycles.

A ravaging drought has hit Mandera County following failure of long and short rains for more than a year.
Governor Ali Roba said the border county only received 20 per cent of April-May and October-December long and short rains respectively last year.
“The low and erratic rainfalls are increasing in frequency and severity and resulted in a depressed pasture, acute water scarcity and food shortage,” Roba said.
The governor who is the chairman of Frontier Counties Development Council said the county’s situation was worsened by locusts’ invasion which wiped out pasture in most parts.
