Kenyan police barricaded roads leading to the southeastern Tana River delta to prevent more bloodshed after the death toll from two days of raids between feuding communities reached at least 23.
A retaliatory attack by the Orma people, who are nomadic livestock herders, on the rival Pokomo community killed at least 12 people today, Tana Delta District Commissioner David Kiprop said. The violence followed a Pokomo assault that killed 11 Ormas yesterday.
