Borana, Somali
The Borana, a pastoralist group in Isiolo County, and ethnic Somalis in Garissa County disagree over the boundaries within 3A and 3B blocks operated by Vanoil Energy, Khator said.
“The government is addressing claims between Borana and Somali communities over location of the two oil exploration sites and we will rely on colonial maps and elders with knowledge of the area,” he said. “We will not allow the matter to reignite old rivalry between the two communities and cause armed conflict.”
The spread of weapons from Somalia has fuelled inter-communal violence in Kenya, according to a government investigation into clan fighting in the eastern Tana River Delta which left at least 164 people dead since last year and displaced 40,000 more. Somalia is trying to rebuild a functioning central government and re-establish security after being mired in civil war and lawlessness since the overthrow of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.
Simba Energy Inc. and Afren Plc (AFR) are among other companies operating in Kenya’s north, according to their websites. No one answered a call to the Vancouver, British Columbia-based office of Vanoil Energy outside regular office hours yesterday.
