Former Chief Justice David Maraga has urged President William Ruto to immediately withdraw Jubaland forces from Mandera County, citing severe violations of Kenya’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This call comes amid growing concerns and protests over the foreign troops' alleged occupation of farmland and schools.

• David Maraga warned that the continued presence of Jubaland forces in Mandera poses “profound constitutional, legal, and security concerns,” setting a dangerous precedent.
• Other prominent figures, including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Mandera Governor Mohamed Khalif, and former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, have also condemned the incursions.
• Residents of Border Point One protested, claiming their children could not attend school due to fear of abduction, while the Border Point One Primary School was allegedly converted into a military training camp.
