Leaders of the Somali community in Isiolo have asked the national government to quickly address conflicts between local camel herders and Meru farmers on the Isiolo-Meru border.
Condemning the killing of a farmer by suspected camel herders last Saturday in Kandebene, Meru County, the community urged police to investigate the incident and punish the culprits.
