Renewed banditry attacks along the Turkana-West Pokot border are jeopardizing the revival of oil activities in the South Lokichar Basin. Local leaders are demanding the restoration of security before operations can resume.

• A recent raid in Lokwar village on September 2 resulted in three deaths and livestock theft.
• Leaders from Turkana South and Turkana East are at the forefront of this opposition.
• The escalating violence, including killings and livestock theft, is being treated as more than isolated incidents by affected communities.
