Published on November 13, 2019, a report revealed the dark history behind the bloodshed in Kenya's 'wild north' region.

The region, known for its rugged terrain and rich natural resources, has been plagued by violence and conflict for decades.

Historians and researchers have long pointed to the colonial era as the root cause of the bloodshed, citing the exploitative deals made by European powers with local leaders.
