actor1: Maasai Ethnic Militia (Kenya)
actor2: Kipsigi Ethnic Militia (Kenya)
location: Olmekenyu
notes: 07 September. Two days of clashes took place on September 6th and 7th in Olmekenyu (Narok county), between Maasai and Kipsigi militias, seemingly in response to the murder of a herder on September 4th. Two people were killed in the clashes (which involved spears and bows and arrows), and at least thirteen injured, whilst a significant amount of property was torched and cattle looted (the deaths have been split over two events). Police attempted to separate the groups, and used tear gas at one point. Subsequent reports have suggested the violence has its roots in land disputes and/or involvement of local politicians, which have been exacerbated by incidents of theft.
