[email protected]. PART III: NYANZA AND WESTERN PROVINCES 1 Clashes in Gucha and Trans Mara The 1992 clashes in Trans Mara targeted mainly the Kisii. We were told that several of them had to flee Trans Mara because of increased cases of livestock theft, personal attacks and arson although it was not as widespread as was the case in 1997. Earlier, in 1989, the then provincial commissioner ordered the eviction of the Kuria, but this was not limited to the Kuria only. Other non-Maasai tribes, except the Kipsigis, were also affected. A contingent of over 200 Administration policemen was used to evict not only the Kuria, but all the non-Maasai except the Kipsigis, in the area.
