Somali–Kenyan conflict

The Somali–Kenyan conflicts rooted in historical, ethnic, and territorial complexities, span from the colonial era to the present, driven by competing national interests, clan dynamics, and regional instability. Problems have ranged from skirmishes between the two parties and have led to terrorist attacks, police harassment, extortion, home invasions, physical violence, and massacres perpetrated against Somalis and Kenyans.
