@kratos, even though you're not posting.I hope you are reading So what more should @bigchick do?Start her own investigation? I thought that whenever you report and incident,it is supposedto be investigated before dismissing it! Quote:Bigchick wrote:[quote=MrTyrus]how can we get WhatsApp to give the contact of the initial guy who shared that video? am sure it will most likely be the one taking the video. Those buggers need to be jailed. That was my hope when I went to report and shared the clip. But shock on me.........I was told that clip does not show the vehicle,the vehicle number or other details that would help. The person also said from the clip its like the lady was with them and enjoying the whole game.ladies we are on our own. We need to develop defence mechanisms,dress well to avoid this mental cases getting excuses. and do your best to keep yourself safe.Avoid late night movements in Mats at night and alone.... Oi we are besieged! How can you say she was enjoying it when she was screaming and even opting to "give them" why were those thugs asking her for money? at the end you can hear one guy asking for a bottle.Guess what happened? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Kudos KDF.
Top Al-Shabaab commander Abu Hamza Alkeni has been reportedly killed. This is commendable but Kenyans want to get to the point where attacks on Kenyan soil are prevented so that we do not have to say 'they killed 28 on our soil but we killed 100 on their side  including a top commander'. Sio mishale tunapimanisha urefu. Drone technology, jets and ground intel in Somalia is quite effective. Our issue is actually inside Kenya in Al Shabaab sympathetic or fearful areas. The new leader of Al-Shabaab Abu-Ubaidah has issued orders to his militant commanders in the border region to attack Kenya. Brace yourself, we are in for the long haul. Al Shabaab are trying to stir an insurgency in Kenya using their local converts stirring emotive religious and land issues. That is the reason even if Kenya left Somalia today, they would still say Muslims are being aggrieved in Coast, Eastleigh etc. It would be good to admit we have previously experienced failure on multiple local fronts but it would even be better if we focused on the actual solutions. I rather at least a person like Kratos who wants to talk real solutions instead of finger pointing. The issues are systemic and originating from decades of marginalization and alienation of sections of this country. Throw in resource discovery and you have a deadly cocktail for insurgencies using pretext of religion or tribe. Ok, @Ecstacy/kratos. Say I have a solution to our insecurity problem, how does that help anyone. Where do i take my solution, should I type it in this thread or should I take it to my nearest police station. Thats the point that everyone has been trying to drill into Kratos skull for the last 4 days without success. The solution can only come from the govt of the day and directly from the insecurity chiefs. I think both sides have a point. It would be best to separate the following which is where either sits: 1. Strategic direction and resourcing can only come as an outcome from the appointed security chiefs and their administrative overseers sitting in the security council. 2. Intel primarily comes from the citizenry but is only as effective on outcomes of (1) above. A secure state requires a balance of the two. And my point is Fix No 1, get it right, No 2 will flow easily. Yes, but to fix (1) where we have reached, you need to understand that after collecting intel, it points to two things: NORTHERN FRONTIER After Independence, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta did not accord the Northern Frontier their chance to have a referendum in 1964 as agreed when the British were leaving Kenya. The generations do not feel they are really part of Kenya, throw in the sessional paper that more or less made marginalization of the Northern Frontier deliberate policy, unacknowledged military atrocities and you see the people have real issues. Referendum now is out of the question. The ultimate solution was Devolution as implemented in the promulgated 2010 Constitution and a Mining Bill to accord local communities a chunk of resources derived from the territory their. Politicization of the same and sponsoring of an insurgency has complicated this. Fixing the police force to required capacity to effectively maintain the state monopoly of violence here is long term. You will need to militarize this area in the interim and use strong arm tactics on the politicians[/color] until the benefits of devolution and mining empower the populace. Thereafter transition back to civil forces. If the powers that be can establish the problem is with the politicians then why militarize the region?Neat pick the problem. Otherwise militarize and use strong arm tactics and its likely to have a blow back. If you stay ready, no need to get ready.

Kenya also facing midlife crisis of sorts. Only about now we are freeing ourselves from hegemony of odinga, Kenyatta and moi, this is wha sowed seeds of discord, hatred and brew strife. Thanks to devolution, feelings of marginalization also fading. The new frontier of national discourse shaping up is driven by perceived feelings of marginalization by minority Muslim communities, and given the circumstances of the matter, we need to look and think hard

@Swenani hapo ndio kuna shida. Trimming girls and forcing them into early marriage. That is why you can't get a Cushites babe. Life is short. Live passionately.

Workers in Mandera will not be evacuatedQuote:In a stinging indictment of local police, they said those who volunteered information to the authorities were routinely killed and that police bosses were doing business with the town’s tycoons, apparently known to sponsor terrorism. Quote:There have been two attempts on the life of Governor Ali Roba, who yesterday told the Nation that the military had deployed an armoured unit to guard the road on which the bus was attacked last Saturday. The soldiers were removed some weeks ago for unknown reasons, leaving passengers at the mercy of armed gangs. Quote:The poor state of the main Mandera-Garissa road has forced motorists to use the road near the Somali border, exposing them to frequent terror attacks in which many have died If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

But are they SERIOUSLY interested!!
The general public can not just organise themselves. More over this arrangements needs the right environment.
In US, UK Israel etc, the citizens there are not so organised out of the blues. The right conditions are created by the political leadership, not by accident but by design. In our situation our leadership take advantage of society's relative ignorance to feed us bull crap as they engage in debilitating corruption and other forms of exploitation to a nascent and poor economy.
We all know that the average Kenyan does not trust the security personnel enough to pass any sensitive information about criminals, corruption, drug lords etc. Of course this mistrust is not misplaced.
That aside any Government saying that it is unable to deal with a security issue in the magnitude of what we are currently dealing with in Kenya, then that Govt ought to declare itself incompetent and do the next logical thing under the circumstances.
Or else are we to resort to hopelessness or perhaps some divine intervention!
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
