Inter-communal clashes in southeastern Kenya have killed at least 18 people in the past two weeks, police said Saturday, as security was boosted in the affected areas.
Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki on Friday declared 12 areas of Tana River County “dangerous and disturbed” due to the clashes, which have pitted communities of pastoralists against resettled flood victims.
Kenya’s national police chief Douglas Kanja ordered residents to surrender their firearms to prevent a further escalation of violence.
