The DCC said police suspect the herdsmen were on a retaliatory attack after one of their herders was killed at Kuri area in Isiolo last month.
The incident happened while Borana elders were at a peace meeting to consult on how their community would compensate the family of a Somali herder who was killed last month.
Those killed were the relatives of one of the elders who were presiding over the meeting.
It is not Garre, no Garre live in Isiolo
It is either Cawlyahan or Degodiye, most like Cawlyahan since they believe they own Garbatulla and that it should have been part of Garissa.
As far as I know, Garre usually fight with Boran in Marsabit around Moyale and with Degodiye in places like Rahmu in Mandera.
Isiolo Somalis used to be Isaaq and Harti, but nowadays it is mostly Ogaden, Degodiye and Ajuraan.
The foreign minister Amina was actually born in Isiolo.
