Why does the deadly conflict between the Pokot and Turkana communities in Kenya's North Rift region continue to rage - despite years of state intervention and the peace efforts of the Catholic Church This powerful and eye-opening study uncovers the deep-rooted causes behind one of Kenya's most enduring conflicts. Drawing on both hard data and human stories, it goes beyond surface explanations to reveal a complex web of historical grievances, fierce competition over scarce resources, political neglect, and chronic insecurity.Through a robust cross-sectional survey of 381 participants, this book rigorously tests three core hypotheses: the root causes of the conflict, the effectiveness of state-led conflict management, and the role of the Catholic Church as a peacebuilding force. The findings are compelling-while state efforts fall short, the Church's involvement yields mixed but promising results.Set against a backdrop of structural violence and socio-political tension, this study challenges conventional narratives and raises urgent questions for Kenya's future. It offers not just analysis, but a bold call to action: to rethink peacebuilding strategies, strengthen local agency, and create pathways to lasting coexistence.Essential reading for peacebuilders, policymakers, researchers, and anyone passionate about justice, conflict resolution, and the resilience of communities in crisis.…
