How Miscommunication in L. Turkana Left More Than 20 Dead

Numerous other people were seriously hurt in the incident, and there are concerns that the number of fatalities may increase.

Following the deadly militia attack, the CS gained full access to Ethiopia and notified the public that a search and rescue operation was in progress.

Four days after the attack, a security team was able to enter Ethiopia to carry out their mission thanks to fruitful diplomatic talks between Kenya and Ethiopia that took place in Nairobi, Murkomen disclosed.

According to other allegations from local authorities, the attack might have been a reprisal after three Dassanech fishermen were shot and killed by a notorious bandit in Turkana on Saturday morning.

The search and rescue effort was required since, in addition to the deceased fisherman, information suggested that other fishermen were still missing.

Following the attack, Murkomen declared that preparations were being made to equip police reservists while the government considers both immediate and long-term measures to reduce border region instability.

Since they are essentially volunteers who support regular police officers, police reservists in the nation have previously voiced worries about their welfare, with some of their issues centered around a lack of proper pay.

In the middle of all of this, the National Police Service (NPS) strongly cautioned Turkana’s local people against launching reprisal attacks the day following the attack.
