The protesters clashed with security forces, resulting in the fatal shootings, Mashuru town police chief Charles Chepkonga confirmed. Residents have frequently urged the Kenya Wildlife Service to find a solution to the conflicts between them and animals, with farmers upset that elephants ruin their crops and, in some cases, murder people.
