Mandera County elders have initiated renewed efforts to restore peace and stability in some of the region's most volatile and conflict-prone areas.

Respected elders drawn mainly from the Degodia and Garre clans held a successful two-day dialogue meeting to address the root causes of conflict that continue to fuel fragility, insecurity, and underdevelopment in the region.

The Banisa area, known for recurring inter-clan clashes, has particularly struggled with tension and sporadic violence.

The elders now say they are determined to end the persistent cycles of conflict and foster lasting harmony across local communities.
