President Barack Obama is condemning violence in Kenya that left
at least 39 people dead in renewed fighting between farming and herding
communities that have a history of violent animosity.
The White House says in a
statement that Obama urges the Kenyan government and police, along with leaders
from the Orma and Pokomo communities, to end a deadly cycle of conflict.
At least 39 people were
killed early Friday when farmers from the Pokomo tribe raided an Orma village
of cattle herders in southeastern Kenya. The violence appears to be driven by
competition for water, pasture and other resources in the Tana River Delta.
The Obama administration is
calling on all sides to intensify peace efforts in the region and says those
responsible for the attack should be held accountable.
O Israel, thy
prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

Ye have not gone up
into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in
the battle in the day of the LORD.
