Renewed clashes between rival communities in Kenya's Tana river region have killed at least 39 people.
While some say the latest attack by Pokomo farmers on the Orma village of Kipao was political, police have claimed that it was a retaliation for the killing of over 100 villagers earlier this year.
Police say that although houses were burnt and villagers cut down with machetes, there were casualties on both sides, as the Orma villagers seemed prepared.
