These days, farmers in Eastern Kenya are unable to find peace. Every waking moment is filled with unease. “Even during the day, you find yourself watching your surroundings, listening for noise or gunshots,” one resident said. “You are not settled.” The fear follows a deadly incident on Saturday, April 25, when armed Muslim Somali herders stormed Kwa Kamari in Mwingi North, Kitui County, killing seven Christian farmers and leaving behind burned homes, scattered belongings, and families struggling to come to terms with the loss. One person remains in critical condition.
