Lagdera MP Mohamed Shidiye has urged the national government to restore law and order on the Isiolo-Garissa border following a spate of killings involving the Boranas and the Somalis.
More than 10 people have been killed in the past month and hundreds displaced. Livestock has also been stolen.

Speaking in Garissa town, Shidiye said the crisis might worsen.The source of the confl ict is said to be the scramble for pasture and water, with each community accusing the other of invading its territory.
The latest incident was on Saturday morning, when a group of Borana militias raided Tana village, 70km from Garbatula town towards Isiolo South, and shot dead two brothers, Yusuf Dubow and Abdi Dubow.
