Six Major Ethnic groups inhabit Northern Kenya. These are the Daasanch,Gabbra,Turkana,Elmolo, Renddile and the Samburu. The Daasanach (meaning ‘People from the Delta”) are an ethnic group of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan are a pastoral people by tradition. Majority of the tribe are found in the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, but a few are found in Kenya on the northern shores of Lake Turkana.

Forest on Mt Kulal

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated it as a MAB reserve in 1979. Mount Kulal forest, part of the reason that Mount Kulal has been deemed a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Reserve. Surrounded by deserts, this unique forest traps moisture, contributing to the humidity and cool evening temperatures on the mountain

All those people are ugly. A Somali or Ethiopian is better looking and more civilized. Your people are cowards as can be seen today in the Attack on the University in Garissa. Where is the Kenyan military? grin

The Somalis who waged the attack spoke swahili, and live in northern Kenya. Building a wall changes nothing when those in Northern Kenya identify solely as muslim and Somali and not Kenyan.
