Wajir County, Administrative division in northeastern Kenya
Wajir County extends across 55,840 square kilometers of semi-arid land, bordering Ethiopia, Somalia, and four other Kenyan counties.
The British established Wajir as a colonial headquarters in 1912, marking the beginning of formal administration in this region of Kenya.
The population of 781,263 residents includes numerous pastoral communities who maintain traditional livestock management practices across the county's six constituencies.
Wajir International Airport connects the county with regular flights to Nairobi, Galkacyo, and Mogadishu, providing transportation options for residents and visitors.
The county receives only 240 millimeters of annual rainfall, creating a landscape where seasonal swamps alternate with extensive dry periods.
