A survivor of the Tuesday Mandera massacre by the al
Shabaab has said the militiamen routinely visited the camp
before the attack.

Fifty-seven-year old Erick Taabu Mujivi, who has worked at
the quarry for the last four and a half years, told the Star on
Wednesday that the attackers are well known as shifters.

Mujivi said the militiamen made impromptu visits to the
quarry and shot several times in the air while they watched.
"For the four and half years I have lived in Mandera we have
had a few challenges with the shifters but soon we got used
to them and took it as part of life. They could come in, shoot,
take food and order us to give them money and later leave
without harming us," he said.

Mujivi said over 20 attackers, heavily armed with knives and
AK 47 rifles, stormed the camp at around 1 am and
surrounded them.

"Each one of us was told to take the Quran and recite it, then
if anybody refused or if anybody did not know how to recite it,
they would shoot you without caring much and tell you that
even your God cannot help you," he said.

He said three of his colleagues tried to negotiate with the
killers but an argument ensued leading to their execution.

He said he and five others escaped by crawling through a
nearby trench and jumping over a cliff amid the commotion.

Mujivi said he saw manyattas used by the militia group as
hide-outs at a border.

"If the government intends to win this war, let it pull down all
the manyattas on the border as the militia mix up with local
residents in the area making it hard for police to identify
them," he said.

I disagree. If NSIS were upto task, they would have foreseen and forewarned PORK that their Intel alerts will be ignored by Police. They would also have by now advised how to correct the weaknesses rather than hide behind intelligence reports

Can't believe them ICC judges released Ruto from the proceedings only for him to come and tell us on live TV that they told the 36 dead to vacate the quarry but they ignore.

The DP needs to focus on his Hague case which looks stronger by the day

No. Legislation must be formulated to have NSIS to make arrests or even liquidate terrorists.

Only in Kenya you hear of legislation and terrorists in the same sentence. And why NSIS never drafted this legislation? Ati its not their work?

Mwingi residents yesterday staged demonstrations against insecurity.

The protestors almost set ablaze buses to and from North Eastern Kenya and Nairobi.

Ordinarily, these buses are packed with members of the Somali community.

Police had to shoot in the air to disperse the mob.

While other buses opted to turn back, some headed to police stations.

The demonstrators stoned an Earth Plane Company bus from Nairobi, before heading for a local hotel run by Somalis.

They threatened to smash the windows and doors and pour out all the cooked food.

The demonstrators said the buses ferrying the attackers from Northern Kenya pass through Mwingi to go to other regions like Nairobi and Mombasa.

They called for investigations of all residents and foreigners.

The demonstration started at 10am, at Umoja petrol station and proceeded through the town to head to the deputy county commissioner’s office.

Centre for human rights and civic education together with residents criticised the Mandera killings in which 36 people were killed at a quarry in Koromei, Mandera town.

“How would they feel if we stopped the vehicles and asked all the non-Christians to return to Garissa, Mandera, Dadaab or any other part of northern Kenya?” said a demonstrator.

they tried most fail terribly coz msomali ni msomali their loyalty ni kwao wenyewe.

they could work. Iread somewhere that ourformer brothers in west (enemies now) have a BIG hand in these attacks. Conspiracy...they are failing in ICC and loosing grip in this region.
1. kenya being powerfull in the region seems to be shifting to East in all aspects.
2.Kenia showing signs of "super power" in United States of Africa. Look how it martialed Africa against Rome statute.
3. Mineral deposits discovered in the NEP regions.
4. They want to create unrest and chaos plus outcry to distabilize kenia and ensure UK is kicked out like in arab uprising. this to fulfill there wishes of UK can't make.
5. The best way is using the border regions so to blame kebab.
6. They want kenia to fail in this war given we had won where they terrribly failed.
Iknow they have been training in these areas and worked closely with our military and that they physically know key routes & installations in these areas. I know there are cases of real kebab and others of conspiracy by west. Some of the border families seem not to have any tangible information on these attackers which isn't normal. kebab always want credit for wrongs done ata ukikaziwa landing they own it.

Somalis are humans too. We shouldn't dehumanize them because we are angry. I realize that the Somalis have not identified themselves with Kenya as with the Somali republic. And as now we have our Soldiers in Somalia and deeply involved in Somali politics, it's possible to design a political solution that can hold a stable peace within a mutualist context.

But that will need some change in domestic politics. Like the issues of earning a livelihood for the youth on a holistic and sustainable basis, and elucidation of a cogent and adaptive political philosophy.
