2006 Conflict Archive
Comment on Activity: In 2006 the Turkana moved into the Lokamarinyang, an area that is usually uninhabited. Due to a severe drought in the region they were forced to make this move, being in dire need of fresh pasture and water. This promptly led the Nyangatom to launch attacks from across the Ethiopian border.
It should be noted that in some of these raids the Nyangatom were joined by their allies, the Toposa. These events are recorded as a separate conflict (see the section on the Nyangatom, Toposa – Turkana on the Ethiopia page in the database).
