The region around Mandera, known as the Mandera triangle, is prone to conflicts between the Somali clans who dominate the area. Clan clashes between the Garre and Murule has occurred in the borders of Murule -Garre along Elwak Police station along the mandera B9 highway. The conflicts were triggered by the December 19th, 2004 murder of a Murulle relief worker by Garre gunmen at Fino-Elwak road junction. This killing led to growing hostility between the two clans, which eventually degenerated into full-scale overt confrontation in January 2005. A number of issues have been advanced to explain the cause and genesis of this clan conflict. This has led for the UMUL accord in 2019-2020 which is yet to be published. References
