Bush/cross country operations are ideal for the military.....has to do with the MEANS and METHODS of executing them.
You might think I'm on the other side. I never have been.
To answer your questions
To deploy internally is something that is in the law and they followed the law to a T,t, t'
Kenya is not the first country to deploy internally. It has done so before and so will other countries.
But the reason why deploying is made a big deal is because of the realities.
The realities are simple
We have a thread on wazua where some guys from Turkana were shouting at each other about some guys from another county being shot at by their fellow Kenyans
The IG even issued a statement saying that no one is above the law.
Nothing happened.
Obviously by deploying the army, the ones in the know have seen in their wisdom that the police who are charged with internal matters CAN NOT do their jobs.
That by itself is the meaning of a FAILED STATE.
They still have not fired the IG but they form commissions for noise makers like Ahmednassir and Shollei.
When a gov't CANNOT GUARANTEE citizen safety from another citizen then we have ANARCHY. Just as is the case right now in Argentina. After the police went on strike.
Shooting from the hip is a Terrence Hill, Bud Spencer movie.
Soldiers as Tycho will tell you aren't trained to make peace. They kill
So the gov't had decided that the only way to take care of insecurity is to Kill Kenyan citizens.
If you are still wearing googles, then come on over to my side.
Uhuru Kenyatta and Parliament have said in no simple terms that Kenya is ungovernable.
