At least 30, 000 people have been displaced by the inter ethnic conflict in Tana River. Hundreds of families are currently living in temporary structures, after fleeing their homes. Women, who have borne the brunt of the often-violent conflict, have to cope with the loss of loved ones and still try to find new ways to support themselves and their families. And as NTV's Rose Wangui reports, the displaced both from the Orma and Pokomo communities displaced by the fighting are not ready to go back home until there is an assurance that peace will be perpetual.
