After-effects of poll clashes hit northern Kenya
Post-election violence has affected northeastern Kenya's vital livestock trade and resulted in increased food prices and shortages, local traders said.
Abdullahi Haji Mohamed said the livestock sector had been effectively paralysed because transportation outfits, concerned about security, have been unwilling to risk hiring their vehicles to deliver animals.
The problems have left many parents concerned they will be unable to sell their animals and raise money for school fees.
"We are really suffering… all the attention is now focused in the conflict areas but we area also suffering in silence," Mohamed said.
