 LODWAR, Kenya (AP) - A battle for livestock between Ethiopian and Kenyan nomads has left 38 people dead in drought-stricken northern Kenya, where tribes are desperately searching for food, pasture and water to survive, officials and aid workers said Thursday.
Dongiro warriors crossed into Kenya last Friday and attacked Turkana herdsmen to steal their animals, said Njenga Miiri, the district commissioner for Turkana. The fighting killed 30 of the Dongiro raiders and eight Kenyans, all of them women and children.
The clashes took place in the remote village of Lokamarinyang, along the Kenya-Ethiopia border and 260 miles north of Lodwar, aid worker Lucas Ariong said.
