Sustainable Conflict Management in Turkana and Dassanech Pastoral Communities in The Ilemi Triangle

This book explores the dynamics of social organisation and their implications for sustainable conflict management among pastoral communities in the Ilemi Triangle. Located at the intersection of Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Sudan, the triangle's sovereignty is contested by the latter two countries. The area faces intermittent conflict among the Turkana, Dassanech, Nganyatom, and Toposa communities, making peace an ongoing challenge. Focusing on the Dassanech and Turkana communities due to the increasing frequency and severity of violent conflicts between them, this book examines the dynamics of informal social structures within communities concerning conflict management. It also investigates community decision-making processes surrounding conflict resolution and evaluates the role of inter-communal dialogue.
