Mandera

A symbolic aerial view of Mandera County’s dry borderland landscape where Kenya meets Ethiopia and Somalia, showing vast semi-arid terrain, scattered settlements, and winding roads. In the foreground, a group of diverse community members (men and women) are seen in dialogue, symbolizing peacebuilding and unity. Subtle elements such as election posters on a wall, livestock grazing near a scarce water source, and faintly marked boundary posts represent the key conflict drivers: politics, resources, ethnic identity, and borders. The overall tone should balance the challenges of conflict with hope for peace and cooperation.
