Maps have been supplied and everyone is clear on the Murule borders. We are not at any time aggressors to any community and we maintain cordial relations with all communities. We respect and live with them in peace at all times. However, we face lots of problems from other neighbouring communities.</p><p>So many times, we keep our cool and even last week, We agreed a ceasefire in Mandera with the Degodia community.</p><p>The Government of Kenya was there. RC, County Commisioner were there, MPs were there, Religious leaders were there. But it looks like they are helpless. We still have no a lasting solution. When we complained to Rhamu Police station last week about these aggression, our leaders were dismissed.</p><p>After the ceasefire, we still have seen aggression against Murule in Rhamu and Last night, Degodia militia operating around Asahabito, Malkamari, Banissa and even along Rhamu Sala Borders sent even more armed men to attack Murule settlements, this time not in Rhamu but deep in Murule Land, Bambo. We feel this is bad and ill intentioned towards our people. Murules have a right to defend themselves when attacked. </p><p>The Government keeps reassuring us and them about our security but when our people are attacked, everyone tells you sorry and nothing much. We need the Government to fulfill it's mandate of keeping security or else watoke kwa picture. We cannot have problems day in day out.</p><p><br /></p>DALAHOWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14009387214727360152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34328655.post-37475818852096422992023-09-13T18:34:00.003+03:002023-09-13T18:36:33.180+03:00DEGODIA AGRESSION IN MANDERA AND WAJIR COUNTIES<p> RHAMU - MANDERA COUNTY </p><p><br /></p><p>By this time, many of you must have heard about the clashes between Degodia and Murule communities that started 2 weeks ago in Rhamu, a small town in Mandera county. The clashes are ongoing as we write. The Mandera enclave is always in the news as a border region connecting Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. Al Shabaab operates around the border, sometimes waylaying people and causing havoc but that is another story for another day. </p><p><br /></p><p>Al Shabaab is a known issue and the Government is dealing with it in so many dimensions although some communities use it as a pretext to scare other communities. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, there are periodic clashes. There were clashes between Degodias and Garres over land issues sometime back that led to several Kenyans as well as 'Ethiopians mercenaries' perish on both sides. It was vicious as both Degodia and Garres have their clans also on Ethiopian side. That was sometime back....but now, it is again between Degodias and Murules. </p><p><br /></p><p>ETHIOPIAN REFUGEES: </p><p><br /></p><p>The bone of contention this time also is about Land ownership. Degodias - some of them, Refugees from Ethiopia, have been crossing into Kenya for sometime, getting IDs and other documents through their Kenyan relatives and are now causing problems on the Kenyan side - they need more land. They are looking for a settlement and are poised to settle in Rhamu - a town settled by all Mandera clans but sorrounded on many sides by the Murule community Land. They are said to be specifically encroaching on Murule community Lands with the assistance of their relatives in Kenya. 2 weeks ago - obviously with the assistance of their Kenyan relatives, they burned a Murule Bulla Tawakal settlement in Rhamu Town in the hope of pushing into nearby Murule community settlements. The Murules responded immediately and did a vice versa burning a Degodia Bulla settlement thereafter. </p><p><br /></p><p>MURULE BORDER </p><p><br /></p><p>It should be noted that, Murules have a colonial border with both Garre and Degodia along Elwak - Wargadud - Rhamu - Sala Road towards Mandera. That was captured in a 1959 Colonial Survey of Kenya tribal distribution map that is with the Government of Kenya. Further, both Wargadud and Rhamu previously had Murule chiefs. There were Murule settlement also in Elwak but no more. One, Chief Abdinoor Gessey was a Chief in Rhamu before Kenya got independence. </p><p><br /></p><p>MANDERA CENTRAL/MANDERA NORTH </p><p><br /></p><p>Historically, before 20 years ago, Degodia had only 2 MCAs in the whole of Mandera county. </p><p><br /></p><p>That changed after influx of Ethiopia refugees from as far as Filtu and Ado. 15 years ago, they started land expansion in Mandera and initiated clashes with the Garre community in Mandera, so that, they are given a political seat. </p><p><br /></p><p>Communities sat down and it was decided that since Mandera Central was big, it could be cut into two paving way for Elwak South as well as Mandera North, with it's seat at Rhamu, to appease the Degodia. Both seats were occupied by Garre MPs at that time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Degodia resisted and created further tensions and years later, the MP for Mandera North became a Degodia. </p><p><br /></p><p>They didn't just sit pretty. They again continued expanding their influence bringing more Degodias from Ethiopia to defend the Mandera North seat against the Garre Community.... </p><p><br /></p><p>N.B, I don't know why NSIS is not aware of this migration to Mandera Rhamu area...it will be prudent to have advised the Interior ministry about this, so that, it doesn't cause further tensions...The Mandera Security committee knows the history. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having achieved a parliamentary seat, with Rhamu being the seat of the Constituency, they assumed, Rhamu is also theirs and only Degodia can settle there. Little do they know that, the First Rhamu Chief was a Murule when they were few and many of them were still in Ado, Ethiopia. </p><p><br /></p><p>Through their expansion plans, Degodia fought the Garres at Rhamu and Banissa areas - trying to create further settlements within them. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Garres resisted and the clashes, culminated in a peace deal even after so much was lost. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then, we had almost a 3 year hiatus until this week, when Degodias started new clashes, in 2 areas. In Wajir with the Ajuuraan and this time, with the Murules around Rhamu, Mandera County. </p><p><br /></p><p>By virtue of having an MP, Mandera North and several MCAs, Degodias later cut deals to get a Deputy Governor of Mandera position to up their stakes. After getting the position during the 2022 election, they started showing a superior inclination towards Mandera Politics where, they felt they can expand their settlements into other clan's territories by all ways possible. Currently, they have started pushing into Murule Lands within Rhamu Road Border area and adjacent bullas....on the assumption to get more land to claim (electoral seats) during the an upcoming IEBC Border review. They feel, IEBC can allocate them another constituency by grabbing parts of Murule Rhamu Border. That is what is causing the recent clashes. </p><p><br /></p><p>MANDERA EAST: </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, Murules have been lenient with them over time. They have never chased them from their land but went ahead granting them spaces to live in Aresa, Hareeri and Arabia.... That courtesy, has led them to believe Murules are weak and don't care about their community land. </p><p><br /></p><p>PEACE PLAN: </p><p><br /></p><p>After last week clashes, The County Commisioner on orders from RC NEP and Interior CS Professor K. Kindiki initiated a peace plan in Mandera where MPs, MCAs and elders from both communities came together and announced cessation of hostilities. The clans agreed, infront of cameras to not create further skirmishes but it looks the Degodias, were not serious. Their leaders always speak good in Camera but incite their communities at night. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Government was again taken by suprise when after that meeting, Degodia breached the ceasefire, struck again, descended and destroyed further Murule Rhamu settlements. The Murules have not responded but will, I believe, waiting for the Government of Kenya, who were (the Guarantors of peace between them) to act or be seen Powerless. </p><p><br /></p><p>Degodia leaders(MPs,MCAs, Businessmen) will be seen on TV preaching peace which they have through incitement, breached it...they will pretend to be asking for Peace, but just showing their mischevious behaviours. That will not be tolerated by us. </p><p><br /></p><p>Either the Government of Kenya acts or leave us deal with these Degodia Ethiopia gangs ....The Government knows Degodia causing Problems everywhere from time immemorial and does nothing. Degodia either, do not learn anything after the Wagalla massacre in Wajir County - where they were rounded up because of their aggression on Ajuraan in 1983-1984 era or do not fear the GOK anymore. </p><p><br /></p><p>We, Murules will not want Peace if everybody doesn't want Peace. Waswahili husema...Amani haiji ila kwa Upanga.... </p><p><br /></p><p>We also don't want another Wagalla Massacre happening in Mandera county. Let the Government handle the situation and confine Degodia to their settlement far from Murule areas. </p><p><br /></p><p>We need to act fast.</p>DALAHOWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14009387214727360152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34328655.post-27685928306066287432023-02-28T13:10:00.003+03:002023-02-28T13:10:15.801+03:00NORTHERN KENYA IN DROUGHT CRISIS : MANDERA COUNTY<p> Mandera County Satelitte towns face a water crisis</p><p>The town’s borehole broke down for the seventh time in seven years.</p><p>In Summary:</p><p>Adan Bashow, who is an elder of Kheira Ali town, said the town he called home for twenty-six years is now a vale of tears and now considering relocation.</p><p>Leaders from North Eastern Kenya called on President William Ruto to declare the drought a national disaster.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Issues which can be resolved easily but sometimes go out of hand. Several Clashes since the Colonial times between these communities have been recorded. </div><div><br /></div><div>During the Colki Caalim OF 1916, in the Colonial times and in 1929, 1982 we had several clashes against each other that were clearly unneccesary. Many lives were lost and at times, our people, from both communities suffered badly. Recent Conflicts between these communities happened in 2004, 2008, 2014 and lately as in 2020-2021 which culminated in the National Government sending the National Cohesion and Integration Commission NCIC Plus a host of Muslim Leaders led by Sheikh Umul - in what is now known as THE UMUL ACCORD to be signed between the Two Communities.</div><div><br /></div><div>Murule Community previously were settled in Elwak Town as well as Wargadud but due to Pressure from the Garre Community, they were forced out of the town. They moved to LAFEY CONSTITUENCY and now Garre wants to move to LAFEY areas of Alungu, Yetho, Wanteey and Qurqura.

These are the Garre, the Murulle and the Degodia clans, as well as the “Corner Tribes,” a grouping of the smaller clans. After Somalia’s collapse in 1991, a sizable population of the Marehan clan from Somalia also arrived in Mandera and has been seeking protections and resettlement. Many clans like Murules have intermarried with Marehan and therefore are part and parcel of Mandera County.</p><p>For ages, elders in Mandera have largely been the ones making political decisions on behalf of the people and determining who vies for crucial positions during elections. But this is bound to change as youths in the county now seek to bring a different narrative by supporting their own in the next General Elections.</p><p>In a bid to change the political landscape, a group of young people drawn from different clans and sub-clans residing within and without Mandera County are fronting and spearheading new plans for Mandera Gubernatorial seat in 2022.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bb9vJxcUAck/YL-drCIoz7I/AAAAAAAAT2w/W1YNUsmABQ8urfAudiiIk3lf_ErASfGlwCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/Governor%2BRoba%2BMandera%2BCounty%2BMurule.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bb9vJxcUAck/YL-drCIoz7I/AAAAAAAAT2w/W1YNUsmABQ8urfAudiiIk3lf_ErASfGlwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h400/Governor%2BRoba%2BMandera%2BCounty%2BMurule.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>The Garre clan, being the majority in Mandera county in terms of clan affiliations, are normally left to take the gubernatorial seat against the other three clans. The Garre Community is viewed differently as not pure somalis and this always plays out in Mandera. </p><p>But that is coming to an end if we follow the startegies being deployed towards 2022.</p><p>Two of the clans, Murule and Degodia along with 'other somalis' are planning to overthrow Garre dominance in Mandera County Government and installing one of them. They are also planning to share seats with other clans to destroy the 'dominance' of Garres in the County Government.</p><p>Those Eyeing the Gubernatorial Seat come from Murule Clan as well as Degodia and their combined votes including other somalis will trounce the Garre votes in Mandera County.</p><p>Turn the tide</p><p>In an exclusive interview with the Clans representatives and Youth of The said Mandera clans, they say time is ripe for the tide to be turned against the norm in Mandera county. They accuse Garre of completely disregarding appointment of County Administration and misappropriation of County Resources.</p><p>Mandera County gets Ksh 10,000,000,000 (Ten Billion) approx $100 Million Each year and no tangible Infrastructure has been built for the past 7 years. infact, it is rumoured that County Administrators have created many Millionaires within a short time.</p><p>The Clans youthful movement has since formed a secretariat in every clan and have already informed most of their elders about the intention of the near future. The Elections of Kenya are slated in 2022.

The two clans have had a long history of periodic struggles over grazing land, dating back to the 1916- 20s, 80's and more recent but also have had extended periods of peace between them. Prior to the 2004 violence, no serious armed clashes had occurred between the two clans since 1983. </p><p>Read the Previous 2005 UMUL Accord here <a href="https://muruleonline.blogspot.com/2021/05/umul-accord-2021.html">https://muruleonline.blogspot.com/2021/05/umul-accord-2021.html</a></p><p>The 2004 clashes began with pastoral clashes over disputed pasture at Jabibar, resulting in one death. The death triggered a revenge killing, a clear warning sign that <i><b>xeer </b></i>(Somalia Clan System) between the two clans was in danger of breaking down. The spiral of revenge killing culminated with Garres asaaulting Murules in several points along Elwak -Wargadud Road and the the Murules responded by killing of a prominent Garre NGO worker near EI Wak in December 2004. Then, The Garre, responded with armed attacks that ushered in a period ofwider conflict. From January to March 2005, multiple attacks were responsible for 50 deaths and 30,000 displaced persons in the district. The conflict reached it apex on March16,2005, when a Murule raided a Garre village of EI Golicha that resulted in a massacre of22 people, of whom 16 were children. The massacre triggered widespread outrage in the Kenyan media and international press, prompting direct Kenyan government response.<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nu5euCtrG_E/YL1CTmav-fI/AAAAAAAAT2Q/7rjFHv5BaagcnMXU7HDo5ZCfW6ereWjrACLcBGAsYHQ/s642/Mandera%2BCounty%2BSomali%2BClan%2BComposition.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nu5euCtrG_E/YL1CTmav-fI/AAAAAAAAT2Q/7rjFHv5BaagcnMXU7HDo5ZCfW6ereWjrACLcBGAsYHQ/w598-h640/Mandera%2BCounty%2BSomali%2BClan%2BComposition.jpg" width="598" /></a></p><p>Read UMUL ACCORD 2021 here <a href="https://muruleonline.blogspot.com/2021/05/umul-accord-2021.html">https://muruleonline.blogspot.com/2021/05/umul-accord-2021.html</a></p><p>The two clans were convened in peace talks which were eventually mediated by a group of eminent Muslim leaders from the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM). Under considerable national pressure, the two clans reached an UMUL accord which enshrined open access to pasture throughout the district. But aid agencies on the ground reported that ethnic cleansing at the location level continues, and IDP return to home areas, including Mandera town, has been slow. The lack of hostilities may not constitute anenduring peace. While a return to armed conflict is not viewed as inevitable, it remains adangerous possibility.</p><p>Read KENYA -SOMALIA Full Report Here : <a href="https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADT520.pdf">https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADT520.pdf</a></p><p><b>CONFLICT DRIVERS:</b></p><p>A number of underlying conflict drivers have been at play in Mandera. Chronic tensions over access to grazing land and wells have unquestionably been a rootcause of the communal violence. Land pressures in the arid region have always been high. </p><p>A combination of factors - </p><p>Increased population, the displacement of Garre and Murule from Wajir-West and Isiolo back into Mandera, an increase in poorly placed boreholes, and the misuse of locations as zones of exclusive grazing land have allcontributed to growing anxiety among and pressure on pastoralists.</p><p>Political competition over constituencies and locations have been a more direct conflict driver.</p><p> Following clan clashes in the early 1980s, in 1988 a new constituency, Mandera-Central, was carved out of Mandera-East to provide a seat in parliament for the Garres. Prior to that time, the two constituencies in Mandera were routinely held by thenumerically dominant Murule. As in Wajir, it was thought that a separate constituency in a mainly Garre zone would serve as a conflict prevention device, by eliminating politicalcompetition between the Garre and Murille. Instead, it accelerated it.</p><p> As elsewhere in theregion, MPs wielded authority to pressure the government to expand the number oflocations in their constituency as a means of rewarding clients and expanding government services - schools, boreholes, stipends to chiefs - all part ofpolitical patronage in Kenya.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gE2XZhgZsiE/YL0_SAKG-EI/AAAAAAAAT2I/fnO8MtHYX8Ua3JQblWhvrwiWKAQ_KG9BQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/MANDERA%2BCOUNTY.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1331" data-original-width="2048" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gE2XZhgZsiE/YL0_SAKG-EI/AAAAAAAAT2I/fnO8MtHYX8Ua3JQblWhvrwiWKAQ_KG9BQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h416/MANDERA%2BCOUNTY.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>But because the "base" of each MP is his clan or sub-clan, rewards of location chieftainships went exclusively to the clan of the MP. And because control of locations was used to make exclusionist claims on land within the location borders, the net result was widespread ethnic cleansing in the three constituencies of Mandera.43Conflict wasmost acute in locations where valuable, previously shared grazing area was situated. </p><p>In the Garre-Murille clashes, competition within the Garre political elite appearsto have played an especially destructive and complex role. In 2002, both the Mandera-East and Mandera-Central constituencies were won by Garre from the Qoranyo sub-clan,one of two main Garre sub-clans the other being the Tuuf). The Tuuf had previously enjoyed prominence in the political realm and both the sub-clan and its ousted MP, Aden Nur Mohamed, were unhappy with the outcome. </p><p>Some local observers contend thatAden Nur and his Tuuf supporters sought an alliance with Murille and, in an attempt to demonstrate that the Qoranyo leaders could not rule, provoked security incidents and tensions between the two clans. Adan Nur's successor, MP Billow Kero, filed a statement with the CID accusing Aden Nur of inciting violence, and Aden Nur was summoned and questioned by the police. Nur in turn accuses Kero of using Garre militia to intimidate rivals. If either or both of the charges are true, it would mirror patterns in a number ofother troubled border regions of Kenya, where MPs and their political rivals arefrequently accused of fomenting ethnic violence.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UHagx4HRySU/YNNYbI0s-bI/AAAAAAAAT5E/DvsjQxmhuEsAvVigsHBFKs9LMDsz_VdCgCLcBGAsYHQ/s720/GARRE%2BAJURAN%2BCLASHES%2B1999%2BWajir%2Band%2BMandera%2BCounties.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="720" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UHagx4HRySU/YNNYbI0s-bI/AAAAAAAAT5E/DvsjQxmhuEsAvVigsHBFKs9LMDsz_VdCgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/GARRE%2BAJURAN%2BCLASHES%2B1999%2BWajir%2Band%2BMandera%2BCounties.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p>As with the Garre-Ajuraan clashes in Wajir-North, the fact that Mandera district clans can call on militia firepower from neighboring Ethiopia, where kinsmen are either in the Ethiopia military or operate as para-military forces in the border areas, exacerbates the conflict.The Garre-Murille conflict was also entangled in and driven by the Garre-Marehan conflict. The Murille of Mandera district have had a long-running relationship with the Marehan sub-clans in the border area, especially the Ali Dheere sub-clan. A series of killings since 2000, and a longer history of rivalry over trade between the Ali Dheere and the Garre, led to deteriorating relations between the two groups. When armed clashes between the Marehan and Garre broke out over El Wak, the Garre suspected Murille complicity with the Marehan, increasing mistrust between the two.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TwYnoiqf83s/YL1CuyWl82I/AAAAAAAAT2Y/bY6sW8RjNHMf7E7mTN-YLQfo9VQU-2k_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1266/Garre%2BMandera%2BConflicts.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="1266" height="348" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TwYnoiqf83s/YL1CuyWl82I/AAAAAAAAT2Y/bY6sW8RjNHMf7E7mTN-YLQfo9VQU-2k_wCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h348/Garre%2BMandera%2BConflicts.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Read KENYA -SOMALIA Full Report Here : <a href="https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADT520.pdf">https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADT520.pdf</a></p><p>Prospects for Peace. </p><p>The fact that the recently-brokered peace accord was reached underconsiderable external pressure and without adequate follow-up to insure implementation is worrisome. Most of the underlying factors driving the conflict - political manipulation of ethnic grievances by politicians, abuse of locations to pursue ethnic cleansing, andever-worsening pressures on pastoral households - are still in place. On the other hand, a number of factors could work in favor of consolidating the fragile peace. The impressive growth of civic peace groups in Mandera is helping build lines of communication and their watch-dog role may reduce the space political figures have to manipulate clantensions. Business interests in Mandera-town depend on cross-border trade, which has been interrupted by fighting, and could be convinced to support peace rather than fund their clan militias. Finally, the fact that the peace accord was mediated by national Muslim leaders may create a stronger taboo against violating the peace.</p><div>Read KENYA -SOMALIA Full Report Here : <a href="https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADT520.pdf">https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADT520.pdf</a></div>DALAHOWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14009387214727360152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34328655.post-13938919326312497282021-05-24T16:31:00.006+03:002021-05-24T16:43:44.060+03:00UMUL ACCORD - 2021<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="400" src="https://youtube.com/embed/VWukSmW6CVc" width="550"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">We do hope The Garre Community complies with this Umul Accord to the latter.

A feasibility study costing about USD3 million was conducted then the project stalled and moved to Wargadud in Mandera South. in May 2016, GARRE Community in Wargadud refused to be relocated to make way for the project and Governor Roba brought it in MURULE community Land. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twn7JK3O0hc/YKEEk_qQM3I/AAAAAAAATtI/KJ7qtOKK5bAo6i2CpimJa4x57PA5jInKwCLcBGAsYHQ/s720/MURULE%2BKARO%2BMANDERA%2BCOUNTY.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="419" data-original-width="720" height="372" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-twn7JK3O0hc/YKEEk_qQM3I/AAAAAAAATtI/KJ7qtOKK5bAo6i2CpimJa4x57PA5jInKwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h372/MURULE%2BKARO%2BMANDERA%2BCOUNTY.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;">Read here the issue of WARGADUD LEGAL CASE between KENYA AIRPORTS AUTHORITY & SEO and SONS LIMITED <a href="http://kenyalaw.org/caselaw/cases/view/150504/ " target="_blank">http://kenyalaw.org/caselaw/cases/view/150504/ </a></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oefPPbMCwmg/YKEF_GMVOYI/AAAAAAAATtQ/L55VHl5enhk6cbUlxy4IL7krklFhmQ3bQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1876/WARGADUD%2BAIRPORT%2BSEO%2BAND%2BSONS%2BLIMITED.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1876" data-original-width="1377" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oefPPbMCwmg/YKEF_GMVOYI/AAAAAAAATtQ/L55VHl5enhk6cbUlxy4IL7krklFhmQ3bQCLcBGAsYHQ/w470-h640/WARGADUD%2BAIRPORT%2BSEO%2BAND%2BSONS%2BLIMITED.png" width="470" /></a></p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">Although construction of the airport has not commenced there are serious concerns over the potential impacts on pastoralists' access to grazing land and water. Residents have complained that they have not been consulted about the project and of a lack of transparency regarding funding. There is lack of clarity over the land area that would be required for the airport.</p><p style="text-align: left;">In February 2019 it was reported that MANDERA residents were ‘up in arms’ over the proposed construction of the airport. The proposed site had moved to Karo in the Khalalio ward (alternative spelling: Kalaliyo) which is in the north-east of Mandera near the border with Ethiopia. MURULE Elders in the region, concerned that the airport would disrupt their way of life, took to the street in protest. Senior Former Chief of Omar Jilaow Mohamed Hussein, said that no public participation had been conducted before county officials ordered them to vacate the area, adamant that residents depending upon pastoralism for their livelihoods would resist any plans to force them to leave the area. He said: “The airport will only benefit a few people especially the contractor and county government officials, we did not ask for it and it is time the executive rescinds on the decision.” Hussein also said that pastoralists from a 40 kilometer by 25 kilometer area of land would be displaced by the airport project.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Governor of Mandera, Ali Roba, denied that a “huge chunk of land” was required for the airport, stating that a piece of land “two kilometres wide and six kilometres long…nothing more” would be allocated. Roba alleged that powerful individuals, whom he did not name, had incited locals against the airport project and exaggerated the area of land to be allocated. Nearby Libehia ward Member of the County Assembly (MCA) Hon. Farah Abdinoor requested information regarding the budgetary allocation for the airport project, the source of the funding, the exact site measurements and when and where public participation had taken place.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9QRExSPpLHo/YKEGAzt2XNI/AAAAAAAATtU/Qb7wtsS57goJeNcNOCht8K5RNMFxF3csACLcBGAsYHQ/s1748/KARO%2BAIRPORT%2BMURULE%2BCOMMUNITY.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1748" data-original-width="1496" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9QRExSPpLHo/YKEGAzt2XNI/AAAAAAAATtU/Qb7wtsS57goJeNcNOCht8K5RNMFxF3csACLcBGAsYHQ/w548-h640/KARO%2BAIRPORT%2BMURULE%2BCOMMUNITY.png" width="548" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">MURULE Community Residents who would be affected by the airport, now referred to as 'Karo Airstrip'said that the development would spur inter-clan conflict over the surrounding area which is a water catchment area used to sustain livestock, of particular importance to pastoralists during the dry season. In March 2019 a case was filed on behalf of MURULE COMMUNITY aiming to stop construction of the airport. Residents claimed that authorities did not consult them about the airport and that the livelihoods of nearly 140,000 people would be affected by the impacts on livestock. The lawyer representing the residents said that once the area was fenced off animals would no longer be able to graze. Transparency issues were also raised; residents said the tender process had been shrouded in secrecy and the construction cost had not been made public. Locals also said that authorities should address more pressing concerns, in particular water scarcity and healthcare. The judge ordered that the case be heard in Garissa High Court, terming it as urgent.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Residents resisting construction of the airport have a strong case that there are ‘more pressing’ concerns that government should be working to address. Mandera is one of the poorest areas in Kenya. Statistics compiled in the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey for 2015-16, released in March 2018, showed that Mandera County had the third highest proportion of residents living in conditions of extreme poverty, with 38.9 per cent of citizens unable to afford the minimum food consumption basket.</p><p style="text-align: left;">A petition ‘Stop the Karo Airfield Project’, launched on 14th March 2019, called upon Mandera County to halt the project which ‘risks displacing thousands of people’ and would also block the community’s access to the Daua river, their main source of water. A number of residents refuted claims by Mandera County that the proposed new airport is essential, to provide an alternative to the existing airstrip, which governor Roba said was unsafe. One resident said the governor must prioritize provision of essential services before embarking on an unnecessary megaproject “that is only meant to siphon public money into private pockets”, adding that the areas that would be affected have no water yet “we want to build an airport as a resource looting project just like Dams or fence projects”. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-spH5YjujDe0/YKEMDYYZ9MI/AAAAAAAATto/T5fN8_EFWWwtj-9a_S33pyVdB6pjaTLvgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/KARO%2BWAA%2BDHUL%2BBEESHA%2BMURULE%2BWEEYTAAN.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2039" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-spH5YjujDe0/YKEMDYYZ9MI/AAAAAAAATto/T5fN8_EFWWwtj-9a_S33pyVdB6pjaTLvgCLcBGAsYHQ/w638-h640/KARO%2BWAA%2BDHUL%2BBEESHA%2BMURULE%2BWEEYTAAN.png" width="638" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;">A MURULE COMMUNITY ELDER calling from Rhamu, a nearby Local town said,“instead of the administration hankering for the airstrip project that is not even a priority and will end up serving only the interests of a few people, the governor should provide us with water and equip our hospitals". A vocal opponent of the Mandera County administration said the airport was unnecessary and criticized the governor’s speech as “Pharaonic”, comparing pursuit of the project to lack of action on water shortages: “The governor has never even called a press conference to address issue of drought and how to mitigate it”.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Mandera residents’ protest, court case and petition against construction of the new airport, which threatens to restrict access to water, coincides with severe and worsening drought gripping Kenya. Mandera is one of the most seriously affected areas. A March 2019 Relief Web briefing on the drought and food security situation listed Mandera as the second worst affected county in the country with 88,800 people requiring immediate food assistance. Mandera’s most drought-affected sectors were listed as water, health and livestock. Mandera was also one of the areas requiring water trucking and Hunger Safety Net Programme cash transfers by the National Drought Management Authority (NMDA) and where the county government had commenced food distribution to affected communities.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Residents’ legal case against construction of Karo Airstrip succeeded in stalling the project. On 27th March 2019 it was reported that Garissa Court had issued an interim conservatory order on the Karo airport project, pending the hearing and determination of the application before the court.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xk9a0KlTwEM/YKEMDZ0YdBI/AAAAAAAATtg/iuz6uQAF57MBGYnL27vaFBVnOI5TMMrvACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/WARGADUD%2BAIRPORT.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1661" data-original-width="2048" height="520" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xk9a0KlTwEM/YKEMDZ0YdBI/AAAAAAAATtg/iuz6uQAF57MBGYnL27vaFBVnOI5TMMrvACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h520/WARGADUD%2BAIRPORT.png" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><u>SUMMARY:</u></b></p><p style="text-align: left;">Name of conflict: WARGADUD - KARO Airstrip, Kenya</p><p style="text-align: left;">Country: Kenya</p><p style="text-align: left;">State or province: Mandera East</p><p style="text-align: left;">Location of conflict: Karo, Khalalio ward</p><p style="text-align: left;">Community : WARGADUD (GARRE) - KARO (MURULE COMMUNITY)</p><p style="text-align: left;">Accuracy of location MEDIUM (Regional level)</p><p style="text-align: left;">Type of conflict. 1st level:Infrastructure and Built Environment</p><p style="text-align: left;">Type of conflict. 2nd level:Water access rights and entitlements</p><p style="text-align: left;">Land acquisition conflicts</p><p style="text-align: left;">Ports and airport projects</p><p style="text-align: left;">Specific commodities:Land & Water</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yoVoy-zm-kU/YKEMDag26qI/AAAAAAAATtk/JMWSyVLn7EknOOgJny0bv2F6IqiyT22tQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/LIBEHIYA%2BAIRSTRIP.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1953" data-original-width="2048" height="610" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yoVoy-zm-kU/YKEMDag26qI/AAAAAAAATtk/JMWSyVLn7EknOOgJny0bv2F6IqiyT22tQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h610/LIBEHIYA%2BAIRSTRIP.png" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><u>THE ISSUES INVOLVING WARGADUD - KARO AIRSTRIP</u></b></p><p style="text-align: left;">A proposal for a new airport in Mandera was initiated by the Mandera County government in 2013. Governor Ali Roba said the airport would be one of the key drivers of the county economy and that farm produce and animal products from the region would be processed and exported to earn foreign exchange. The groundbreaking ceremony for the project, then named Mandera-Wargadud Airport, attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta, took place in May 2016. But a week later Alwahab Enterprises Limited, the contractor that had been awarded the Sh600 million (USD 5.93 million) contract to construct the airport, moved to court to file a petition to stop the project, challenging the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB) which had overturned the award of the tender and directed Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to award the tender to another company, SEO & Sons. The Tender has now moved to ALWAHAB ENTERPRISES LIMITED. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Level of Investment:$5,930,000</p><p style="text-align: left;">Type of population: Rural</p><p style="text-align: left;">Community Involved : MURULE</p><p style="text-align: left;">Start of the conflict: 2013</p><p style="text-align: left;">Company names or state enterprises: </p><p style="text-align: left;">WARGADUD : SEO and Sons Limited - Awarded tender to construct Mandera Airport, tender subsequently cancelled due to forgery claims, case submitted for judicial review in 2018</p><p style="text-align: left;">Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) from Kenya</p><p style="text-align: left;">KARO : Alwahab Enterprises Limited - Awarded tender to construct Mandera Airport, the award was overturned and the tender granted to SEO and Sons Limited</p><p style="text-align: left;">Relevant government actors:Mandera County</p><p style="text-align: left;">Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) - http://www.eacc.go.ke/</p><p style="text-align: left;">Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB) - http://ppra.go.ke/pparb/</p><p style="text-align: left;">Intensity : MEDIUM (street protests, visible mobilization)</p><p style="text-align: left;">Reaction stagePREVENTIVE resistance (precautionary phase)</p><p style="text-align: left;">Groups mobilizing: : Indigenous groups or traditional communities</p><p style="text-align: left;">Local government/political parties : EFP</p><p style="text-align: left;">Neighbours/citizens/communities : Pastoralists</p><p style="text-align: left;">Forms of mobilization:Lawsuits, court cases, judicial activism</p><p style="text-align: left;">Street protest/marches : Arguments for the rights of mother nature</p><p style="text-align: left;">Appeals/recourse to economic valuation of the environment : PENDING or CLOSED.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Environmental ImpactsPotential: Air pollution, Biodiversity loss (wildlife, agro-diversity), Floods (river, coastal, mudflow), Food insecurity (crop damage), Global warming, Loss of landscape/aesthetic degradation, Noise pollution, Soil erosion, Oil spills, Deforestation and loss of vegetation cover, Surface water pollution / Decreasing water (physico-chemical, biological) quality, Groundwater pollution or depletion, Reduced ecological / hydrological connectivity, Other Environmental impacts, Large-scale disturbance of hydro and geological systems</p><p style="text-align: left;">Health ImpactsPotential: Malnutrition, Mental problems including stress, depression and suicide, Other Health impacts</p><p style="text-align: left;">Other Health impactsHealth problems caused by pollutants emitted by aircraft</p><p style="text-align: left;">Socio-economical ImpactsPotential: Increase in Corruption/Co-optation of different actors, Displacement, Loss of livelihood, Loss of traditional knowledge/practices/cultures, Social problems (alcoholism, prostitution, etc..), Land dispossession, Loss of landscape/sense of place, Other socio-economic impacts</p><p style="text-align: left;">Other socio-economic impactsInter-clan conflict</p><p style="text-align: left;">Loss of access to grazing land for pastoralists</p><p style="text-align: left;">Loss of access to water for pastoralists</p><p style="text-align: left;">Project StatusProposed (exploration phase)</p><p style="text-align: left;">Conflict outcome / response:Court decision (undecided)</p><p style="text-align: left;">Relocation of airport site from Libehia to Wargadud then to Karo then cancelled altogether. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Briefly explain:Although construction of the airport has not commenced there are serious concerns over the potential impacts on pastoralists' access to grazing land and water.
