A section of Marsabit leaders have appealed to the government and international humanitarian agencies to urgently intervene as escalating ethnic clashes in Ethiopia drive thousands of people across the border into Kenya, straining resources and disrupting trade.
The leaders said more than 14,000 people had been displaced in the Moyale border region since fighting between Oromo and Somali communities intensified, forcing families to flee their homes in search of safety.
Speaking during a press conference in Nairobi on Sunday, the leaders, led by Moyale MP Guyo Wago Jaldesa and Saku MP Dido Ali Rasso, urged President William Ruto to engage regional authorities and help restore calm along the Kenya-Ethiopia border.
