Lobby group in Marsabit in task to end cross Border conflicts among Ethiopia-Kenya

Kenya and Ethiopia share a 779 km border which is largely porous. People along this border are disadvantaged in terms of development, political participation, economic inclusion, infrastructure, and other public services.

Moreover, they grapple with cross-border inter-community conflicts, which are exacerbated not only by Ethiopia’s political volatility and low economic inclusion, but also perpetuated by border insurgents who engage in illicit trade, human, drug trafficking, cattle rustling, and arms smuggling.
