NORTHERN KENYA IN DROUGHT CRISIS : MANDERA COUNTY

 Mandera County Satelitte towns face a water crisis

The town’s borehole broke down for the seventh time in seven years.

In Summary:

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.

Leaders from North Eastern Kenya called on President William Ruto to declare the drought a national disaster.

Residents of Kheira Ali and Bambo towns in Waranqara Ward, Mandera County, face starvation as the dam dries up.

The town’s borehole broke down for the seventh time in seven years with just an engine problem, as residents lament neglect from the county government.

This comes after leaders from North Eastern Kenya called on President William Ruto to declare the drought a national disaster.

Lafey Constituency MP Mohamed Abdi who was elected on a Jubilee ticket and promised better living standards on his campaign pledges, with insecurity toppling the main nightmare for the first time legislature, now is on an uphill task to quench the thirst of his electorates.

KOROMEEY IS A MURULE COMMUNITY LAND. LET ALL AND SUNDRY UNDERSTAND THAT.

 

There is a lot of confusion as to the owners of Koromeey - A small settlement in Mandera East in Mandera County. Let the Ministry of Interior, The Regional Commisioner and The Mandera County Commisioner know that, This Land is for Murule Community and before it degenerates into something bigger, They should find a solution.

MANDERA COUNTY : MURULE - GARRE CLAN BORDER DEMARCATIONS : FOR CLARIFICATIONS

 

The Demarcations in Red shows the Border Line of the Two Communities. It Start in ELWAK POLICE STATION in Mandera Central Constituency through the B9 Road Connecting Elwak- Wargadud- Rhamu- Mandera Town (Mandera East Constituency).

Garre and Murule in Mandera County- Kenya are the two neighbouring communities that have lived together since time immemorial. We had several times co-operated on important issues in Mandera County including Politics, Peace and Security but that is not to say, we had no difficulties between ourselves. 

You hear so much about the Garre -Murule Conflict in Mandera? The Borne of Contention between these communities is simply LAND.

Garre have a bigger chunk of Land in Mandera County than the Murule Community but keep trespassing on Murule Community Land from time to time thereby causing anxiety, Unneccesary Conflicts and enemity between themselves. Issues which can be resolved easily but sometimes go out of hand. Several Clashes since the Colonial times between these communities have been recorded. 

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.

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. The Border Line between the two communities is ELWAK POLICE STATION since Colonial Times through the B9 Road to Rhamu. 

The Garre community encroachment on to areas of Yetho, Wanteey, Qurquraa, Iresuku and Sogley not forgetting Sukela Tinfu and Jabibaar all on Murule Clan Community Land has been described as part of the problem in the UMUL ACCORD.
