After Recce managed to corner them

I dont know what you mean by saying the only thing and i dont understand how tenders are affecting security, anyway....

Instead of building a wall, why not invest in surveillance? The technology exists who cant scale up a wall or dig a tunnel underneath it? Someone once told me that they suspect Kitui national reserve is used by these people....am beginning to see his point

Its very clear that these terrorists aim is to kill as many victims as possible. I wonder why the security forces had to stay outside and yet they were not negotiating with the terrorists for the release of the hostages.
Gun men on a suicide mission need to be dealt with differently. The Rescue KDF should have forced their way in as early as possible and stop the terrorists from inflicting many deaths.
I think four men with Ak47 and G3's can be handled quickly. A simple slightly thick steel sheet can form a good shield to enable one go within a shooting distance of a terrorist and kill them.
Designing a complete metallic attire to cover the entire body of a soldier for such incidents.

It appears the Special Forces only went in after dusk, perhaps aided by night vision equipment in the cover of darkness. Yet if it was known the attackers were only about 4-5, that means only 1 or 2 were stationed at the rooftop. This means they could have been overpowered if KDF approached the hostel from multiple directions in the early stages? I think the commander in this operation did not do the best he could have done, or our troops are still not trained for this kind of combat/hostage situation-very sad.
