Garissa Ulama Unite After Longstanding Differences
Garissa, November 2025 – In a significant development for the region’s religious leadership, two prominent Sheikhs in Garissa have reconciled, bringing an end to a period of division among local ulama. The union is being hailed as a milestone in fostering peace and cohesion within the Muslim community.
The reconciliation follows months of behind-the-scenes mediation by community leaders and peace advocates who worked tirelessly to bridge the gap. Tensions had previously affected communal harmony, particularly around Quba, where disagreements among religious leaders had caused unease within local congregations.
Community members have welcomed the development, expressing optimism that a united ulama will strengthen guidance for the faithful and contribute to a more peaceful Garissa. Leaders have called on all residents to support the newly restored alliance and work together for the benefit of the wider community.
