    "content": "Since disputes over land and communal boundaries have sparked internal communal conflicts in Marsabit County over the years, the National Land Commission (NLC) has been asked to address the issue since it falls within its mandate. In addition, the Government has employed the following alternative conflict resolution mechanisms in the county:- (i) The Government has initiated the Marsabit mediation process with a view to finding a lasting solution to the Marsabit conflict and the process is bearing fruits and warring communities have stopped fighting each other. (ii) Cross-border meetings between the Government officials from Kenya and Ethiopia have been initiated. (iii) The pastoralist communities have formed pasture committees whose members include eminent elders. Those committees have been negotiating with host communities before their livestock migrate to rangelands owned by other communities. The committees agree on how to share resources including water, pastures and the period of stay and come up with an agreement that guide them when resolving disputes when they arise. (iv) Inter-communal peace forums are going on in Marsabit County to defuse tension and promote peaceful co-existence.
