Theft of luvestock and quarrels over grazing ant water sources are normal and common between herding communities in northern Kenyan but rhus time, at least 11 people, including eight police and a local chief, have been killed in drought-stricken northern Kenya by cattle rustlers whom they had been chasing, police said Sunday.
Police took to twitter saying that a “criminal and cowardly ambush” by cattle rustlers had taken place in Turkana county on Saturday.
The police who were killed had been pursuing members of the Pokot ethnic group who had attacked a village and fled with cattle.
In November 2012, more than 40 policemen were killed in an ambush as they pursued cattle thieves in Baragoi, a remote district in Kenya’s arid north.
And in August 2019, at least 12 people, including three children, were killed in two attacks in northern Kenya by cattle rustlers suspected to be from the Borana ethnic group.
Kenya, the most dynamic economy in East Africa, is in the grip of the worst drought in four decades after four failed rainy seasons wiped out livestock and crops.
