Drought Reignites Faith-Based Conflict in Lamu County
Source excerpt
A severe drought in Lamu County, Kenya, has reignited violent conflict between Christian farmers and Somali Muslim herders over scarce grazing land and water. What is unfolding in areas such as Witu is not merely an environmental or land-use dispute, but a pattern of targeted intimidation and persecution against Christian farming communities. Farmers report deliberate destruction of crops through livestock encroachment, threats to life, and sustained harassment, forcing many to live in fear and insecurity.
