evidence: The Ilemi region has been described as a ‘Triangle’ located where Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia interface with each other. Ilemi has been a bloody battlefield for ethnic communities living in and straddling the borders of the three countries in this area.[1] The inter-ethnic relationships of these communities have been affected by protracted conflicts which go back many years. Besides, there are century old contentious territorial claims about which country does the Ilemi Triangle belong to. The Ilemi Triangle measures over 14,000 square kilometers approximately [2](About the size of Northern Ireland). The conflict in the Ilemi has been frequently linked to issues of access to pasture and water. However, the causes and persistence of the conflict are much more variable and complex. For communities living in the Ilemi Triangle, it is difficult to determine the extent to which international boundaries really matter for their daily lives; grass and water no matter where located takes precedence for both their survival and that of their livestock. [...] The extremely challenged communities of Ilemi triangle require a multi-faceted approach if any substantial socio-economic and even political change is to be realized. To intervene Shalom applies both peacebuilding and development approaches. Shalom has provided material help to schools like Todonyang’ Integrated Centre that supports inter-ethnic learning of Turkana and Dassanech from Southern Ethiopia. Shalom has also supported Napak and Koyasa primary Schools located along the Kenya-South Sudan border.
