War Over Water.

I never could imagine a war breaking out over water. That's what happened in a remote region of southern Ethiopia. A new borehole was to be dug and the Gherri from a Somali state attacked the village at night. The Borana, those being attacked, fled with only their clothes that they were wearing.

It's water! Can't you share? It's vital to everyone. The article went to inform us that the borehole was being dug on a plot of land that has never been defined on whose side of the border it falls on. Then figure it out and get back to life. By the way, 70,000 were displaced over this conflict.
