Comment on Active: At the end of March 2005, Jie warriors raided the Matheniko tribe. In the ensuing fight, 26 people lost their lives.
It should be noted that during the conflict between the Jie Karimojong and the Matheniko Karimojong, several alliances had been formed amongst the tribes of the Karimojong cluster. The Jie had allied with the Turkana of Kenya and the Matheniko Karimojong with the Bokora, the Pian and the Pokot. These alliances escalated the violence and the hostility between the groups of the region. Although alliances were in place at the time, groups at times fought by themselves, as was the case in this conflict.
