The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) is considering increasing troop deployment along the Kenya–Ethiopia border in Turkana County to address insecurity. This decision comes after a meeting between Defence Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya and Turkana North MP Ekwom Nabuim, following a fatal attack on Kenyan fishermen in February.

• Up to 40 Kenyan fishermen went missing in February after an attack by suspected Ethiopian militiamen from the Dassanech tribe in the Todonyang border area.
• Key organizations involved include the Ministry of Defence and the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).
• Plans include intensifying patrols, increasing KDF presence, and establishing new barracks and forward operating bases (FOBs) to deter future cross-border raids.
