This village is the home to an estimated 5,206 Kenyan Auliyahan ethnic Somali community in the Northeastern Province of Kenya, approximately 140 km from the Kenya-Somali border. Those that live in this region are nomadic pastoralists that keep large herds of animals and move from place to place in search of water and pasture. Those that have settled in Dertu are investing in small scale businesses and other ventures while trying to hold on to their way of life and culture. More videos and photos here.
