Bridging the divide across borders: Peace Dialogue in Elwak

Community Dialogue El-Wak

Group of men sit in dislogue with one another.

Community dialogue is held in the bordering El-Wak towns on the Somali and Kenya sides.

Scarcity of grazing land has led to conflicts among pastoralist communities living along both sides of the Kenya and Somalia border. In Elwak, Somalia livestock is the main source of livelihood for the residents and the same is true for neighboring communities living on the other side of the border in Kenya.  Unfortunately with limited space, violent conflict led to preventable deaths.
