Read moreA Turkana tribeswoman reacts after an accidental fire burns a shelter in a Turkana settlement in Ilemi Triangle, Kenya, on July 15, 2019. Ilemi Triangle, a disputed sliver of land along the border with Ethiopia and South Sudan, is the northernmost tip of Turkana, Kenya's poorest county. A series of deadly clashes between the Turkana community and other ethnic groups that they said had crossed from South Sudan have put people on edge, to the point of posting lookouts. As in many regions across Africa, farmers and nomads frequently clash over limited resources, be it land, cattle, or water. #
