I dont like this idea of the powers that be ( France,Britain,Germany,Italy,China etc) arrest the somali pirates on the high seas then hand them over to Kenyan authorities to try them.The international law states that a crime commited in international waters (and no man's land) can be tried in any country that is willing to handle the case (IS KENYA WILLING???). So I dont unerstand why these powers keep on dumping the captive pirates to Kenya.Soon u will here that the Islamic Somali pirates have declared a JIHAD on peace loving Kenyans.......Soma lipsi yangu...!!!

The fact that we host the interests of america and israel is reason enough to get bombed any time. However such cooperation is what makes kenya a strategic partner to the powers that may be and is a precursor to aid and grants.

No Somali is willing to wear a 'heaven' sent bag around their necks with a promise of seven maidens if not to retaliate the arrest of their pirate brothers yet the loot is obviously invested on Kenyan soil! You will be shocked to know some of the masterminds of piracy along the Somali coast,they have links to some of the tycoons right on our soil and are the biggest beneficiaries of the loot. They are establishing an economic jihad right here and if the think tanks are under the radar then be forewarned. If history judges itself,warias arent suicide bombers,its the fundamentalists Arabs,Pakistanis and a few Indo. Relax and dont let paranoia get you!

The fool folds his arms and consumes his own flesh. Better is one handful with tranquility than two with toil and a chase after wind!

@Impunity

This claim is baseless.

But @xtina

Newsweek,Time Mag. or any Western media house for that matter are not authorities on African issues. They are clueless so don't be fooled by the glossy paper. The only thing they have going for them is better broadcast & print equipment.

You need only look at their coverage on the recent Mungiki murders...innuendos,misrepresentation and rumour re-packaged as indepth analysis and 'the story behind the story'. Despite their many weaknesses,our local 'hunter-becomes-the-hunted' journalists do a better job.

I read them too every now and then & agree they are one of several means to broaden understanding and be world-aware. On that particular point I do agree. So if you put it that way,I get it.

Can those Suicide bombers be hired to storm parliament when its in full session?? They would do Kenya a great favour..
