Clashes between tribesmen in the remote, arid northern region of Kenya that borders Ethiopia killed at least 19 people and security has been beefed up in case of more reprisals, officials said on Tuesday.
Rift Valley Provincial Commissioner Osman Warfa told Reuters 19 Kenyans died in fighting with raiders from the Merrille tribe, also know as the Dassenech, from Ethiopia.
Cattle rustling and clashes over grazing land and access to water are relatively common in the region, though the extent of the casualties this week has concerned local officials.
