At least 20 people were killed in renewed clan violence on the Wajir-Mandera county border on Saturday night.
According to Tarbarj OCPD David Kirui five other people were injured in the fighting. Thirty five houses were also burnt down.
Only a month ago, another 13 people were killed in violence between the two rival clans.
The latest round of clashes could have been triggered by the killing of two university students at Rhamu. The two were travelling from a farm in Mandera when they were attacked.
Mandera County Commissioner Mr Michael Tialal confirmed the fighting but could not divulge further details, only saying the killings happened in Wajir.
Wajir County Commissioner Mr Naftally Mugatia and Police Commander Philip Chirchir drove to the flashpoint but they could not be reached for comment…
