Kenya: Families flee to Uganda as crackdown on illegal arms continues

At least 100 families have fled their homes in Katikomor, West Pokot District, following a disarmament exercise by military personnel. Three guns have been recovered in the operation dubbed Leta amani. Tension has been high in the district as residents continue to flee to Uganda to evade the crackdown on illegal arms. Local leaders have termed the operation "Government persecution" and an abuse of human rights. The disarmament exercise is one of the biggest in recent times.
