One person was killed on Tuesday in skirmishes between rival clans in Mandera following disagreements over the construction of a water pan in Wargadud ward. Wargadud MCA Abdullahi Noor who recorded a statement at the Mandera police station called for calm and a ceasefire. Mandera East director of criminal investigations Benard Kigen said three people have been arrested in connection with the clashes. Kigen said the fighting was not an inter-clan flare up but was caused by competition over resources. Let us not allow this isolated incident trigger inter-clan clashes which were the order of the day a few years ago and which led to loss of lives.
