Militianisation of Resource Conflicts: the Case of Land-Based Conflict in the Mount Elgon Region of Western Kenya
The document examines the emergence of the Sabaot Land Defence Force (SLDF) in 2006, which resulted in approximately 600 deaths and the displacement of half the Mount Elgon district's population. It argues that while military intervention routed the militia, lasting peace requires addressing root causes including colonial disinheritance of Sabaot communal lands, inequitable land distribution, and the availability of small arms.
