Experts: Climate Change Behind Pastoralists and Farmers Clashing in Kenya

Climate change is responsible for the clashes that have being witnessed in the Tana Delta in Kenya, more clashes are expected, analysts say.

The agricultural land, according to studies been conducted by the University of Nairobi, has been drying up and becoming less arable for agriculture. Most of the less arable land is being used for pastoralism.

Herders and farmers have, as a result, been fighting for the scarce resources in the vast Tana Delta area of Kenya. Grassroots government officials have also played a role as they continuously politicize the situation and instigate the violence, Prof Shem Wandiga from the University of Nairobi Institute of Climate change said during an interview at the University Premises.
