Airport security is now tighter than before.
So are shipping ports.
Banks are under a microscope, it is no longer easy for terrorists to move money using numbered accounts as it was before, the same applies to heavy ordnance and the nefarious material they use to make bombs. Its why terrorists are using street level assault weapons to commit these acts.
What Kenya (and the world) now needs is a brand new way of mopping up small arms and ammunition from the street, from the public, and ensuring there is no fresh supply.
Then build a wall from the lowermost Indian Lamu ocean end, to the far end upto Mandera; militarized border bases every 100 kilometers each with patrol and assault helicopters, bases too on the UG border side, with aggressive patrolling,..I hear Ethiopian troops first shoot border trespassers then consider questions afterwards, kushikwa Ethiopia bila papers is no joke, utaona cha mtema kuni. Start stringing people from trees for corruption in the immigration department, harsh prison sentences, no sacred cows so that no one will fathom selling a kenyan passport or id card to a terrorist for money or a sleazy drug dealer from Congo.
Hata kama itakula half our GDP, I would really love to see a 5 year plan of something like this.
We make it impossible for terrorists to arrive as freely as they have been doing in the past, from resupplying, slipping in and out at will, then we eliminate the ones within our borders systematically.
No genius. No long winded intelligence thingamajiggery, just very straightforward policy, procedural and legal steps. Al Capone, for all his conniving and wily ways, was brought down by tax legislation.

Unfortunately, #KillAllMuslims is also trending in France.

Avenging THE prophet.

The prophet who they worship...

I promise from now on not to comment on 'the last prophet'

The French had anticipated that there was rising terrorist attacks and had in fact enacted new laws which were also unpopular as they seemed to limit freedom of expression and other civil liberties.

Some of the earlier laws adopted after Sep 11 include

•Terrorist suspects can be held in police custody before being charged for four days rather than two as is the norm.
•Under article 145-2 CCP, a suspect may be held in pre-trial detention after having been charged for up to four years in terrorist cases. Usually suspects can be held for up to two or three years without trial depending on the seriousness of the offence.
• Whereas in ordinary circumstances searches in storage spaces of houses can only be conducted from 6 am, in the context of terrorism night-time searches are permitted (arts 59, 706-90 and 706-91 CCP).
• Right to search cars without judicial warrant (article 78-2-2 CCP) and to obtain subject to warrant by an investigating magistrate access to private telephone calls (art. 706-95 CCP).

All in all fighting terrorism is a grey area to many even in the developed world

It's very sexy to blame muslims in such situations, isn't it?

But think about it. Apparently these guys killed people because they were not happy about what they published.

It reminds me of some people who will do anything to muzzle freedom of expression and the freedom of the press.

Recently I remember some guys lying straight faced that terror attack victims are not published in international media. That's why Kenyan media must be shut up.

When you think about it. It's one and the same thing.

If these killers were in gov't, they would have used laws instead.

About those victim pictures that are never published, does anyone want to apologise to Kenyans for lying?

One more thing

Please note that the French Government has not used this horrific event to change laws on the rights of people. Neither has anyone called for the army to be deployed in every bar in the country.

Bloggers and forum posters are not calling for Jicho Pevu to be crucified either.

Instead the country understands that there are evil men who will do anything to promote evil.

Things to consider and learn from.
