The above group is worryingly growing and has even been training in Kwale forest, acquiring arms etc. All this is in a bid to make Mombasa a new country, Pwani. Some politicians are supporting it.. A worrying trend indeed.. They even have a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com...cil-MRC/148508195220835
Anyone with info on it? ....above all, to stand.

The problem of capitalism and self enrichment..at the expenses of 'the cow'
They even shout down a whole government PC at a National function and walk away en masse from venue
Mjinga (read coasterians) akierevuka.. Mwerevu (read waBara) yu mashakani..
This thing will get murky cos its going to be a keg of poverty vs effluence, drugLords and religions.. BOOM!!!!! till our leaders learn.. coast is some fine gunpowder

But just to ask, can anyone who is well versed with the independence Constitution explain to me what agreements were there between the Sultan and the Government? Was the agreement similar to the one with Zanzibar which would have seen the Coast region be autonomous? Were the Coast people shortchanged by the Government later on? Saidia. GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

Having worked at the coast, I know that the majority of land in the said 10 mile strip is owned by Arab families. For instance, all big parcels of land in Malindi town and surrounding are owned by about 5 families. Go to Kilifi, the Mazrui family is king with their base at Takaungu. This families have a common thread: former rulers and slave traders. The British also settled freed slaves in the strip, you have land titles reading so and so, a freed slave is hereby granted such size of land. You will never hear people talking about land held by Arabs, quite a number of them absentee landlords. In Mombasa, you can be sold a house, but not the land it stands on, or someone says he has sold you the land, but not the coconut trees therein. The agenda of the Mombasa Republicans and the real owners of the coast is at variance, akina Balala and kin stand to lose if they win. I doubt they will go far.

My assessment of MRC: 1. Little international support would be forthcoming owing to the geostrategic location of Kenya and its importance to the region n the world. 2. Small population that cant form a critical fighting unit unlike the popular mungiki which was crushed anyway. 3. Local support devided. 4. Historically, not very ferocious warriors. 5. Poverty n lack of basic resources eg food+laziness will definitely be to their detriment. Me thinks the gava will just watch, wait for a heinous act to be commited down there, generate a mountain of public apathy n anger, then hammer them to pulp. Just my comforting thoughts. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

The Mombasa Raha Republicans should be put in train wagons and shipped to Mt Elgon for a month. Let them intermingle with the residents there and ship them back to mwambao. These lazy citizens will pass the message over to the rest. Those are not my thoughts. Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.
When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.

These MRC guys should ask themselves who stands to lose most as they continue to propagate their agenda.1997 was a terrible period for the region.but the overall losers were the locals because businesses shut down and investor took off leaving ghost towns.BTW who told them seceding will solve their problems?infact considering their attitude towards work,they will only get more miserable.I agree will skabz,the gava will just buy some time,finish up with the elections and then pulp them up aftr gathering enuff public support. Hope is not a strategy
