Hundreds of Ethiopians are crossing into Kenya following skirmishes in their country said to have left scores of people dead.
The civil strife is said to have started last week.
Yesterday, Moyale District Commissioner Peter Okioma expressed fear that the fighting could spill over into Kenya since members of the two rival communities that are at war are seeking refuge among their relatives across the border.
The Ethiopian clash victims, who are mostly children and women, have been crossing over to neighbouring districts of Marsabit and Moyale with their livestock and personal belongings
They began when conflict escalated between members of two communities living on both sides of the border reached a climax.
This was in July 2005 when more than 100 people, including school children were killed in Turbi in Marsabit district.
"The attackers escaped with 180 head of cattle and 80 goats," one victim said.
Civic leaders from Moyale County Council appealed to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to set up centres for the clash victims.
They also expressed fear that the huge number of livestock crossing into Kenya was likely to spark off conflict.
The fighting is mainly about water and pastures.
The Nation.
