WajirEast

High score (8-10) · Your profile
Wajir East holds Wajir town, the county seat, which has the best infrastructure in the county — a functioning airstrip with scheduled flights to Nairobi, government offices, a district hospital, and a handful of guesthouses catering to officials and NGO workers. There's more economic activity here than anywhere else in the county, and a small professional class of civil servants and aid organization staff who are somewhat more outward-facing in daily life. But this is still a conservative Somali Muslim town where social mixing between unrelated men and women is not practiced — any male outsider navigates the NGO bubble or does business with clan elders, nothing more. The least difficult sub-county in Wajir by some margin, but that bar is low.
