How now,
Based on you post, one would think there are special category of Kenyans who qualify as recce. I assume what you meant is that we should train 10,000!! cops as special ops (Recce). Not possible. By their nature, special ops forces are meant to be few and very mission oriented. They focus on surgical strikes and cannot replace regular police coz they happen to be very expensive to train and maintain. We don't need a whole lot of them, we however need means to move them rapidly around the country when needed.

The reality is that the blue uniforms (first responders) are the most important cog of the police force, they are many so can cover larger areas, prevent more crime and even gather more intelligence. When they fail to act, the system must suffer losses. The Recce and spec ops may be fancy but could not stop the butchering of 150 innocent souls.

Lets go for better recruiting, training accommodation remuneration and general management of the rank and file cops and then demand accountability from them. The very best from the recruits can be elevated to Recce etc.

Did i not read somewhere the other day about the KCB islamic banking and women in fullahs !

UNHCR saying: "nevertheless concerned that abruptly closing the Dadaab camps and forcing refugees back to Somalia would have extreme humanitarian and practical consequences, and would be a breach of Kenya's international obligations." http://www.unhcr.org/552d12c49.html

Ke Gov is for relocating the camp, not doing away with the camp all together, so UNHCR can continue rendering their services from Somalia.

Kenya can only fulfill their international obligations if those obligations do not compromise national security or cost the nation lives of citizens.

"UNHCR is spending billions of it's finances (donated funds) on foreign employees who all get their high risk allowances."

Including hefty medical insurance for themselves and their families (or partners) back home, comfortable (upscale) living conditions, fully paid airfare, vacations to any destination of their choice in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Madagascar, Seychelles, Cape Verde, Mauritius, Morocco, Middle East, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, etc.

Ironically, the UNHCR has continued to use the northern and north-eastern regions of the country for its own calculated political agendas and economic ends dating back to the early 1960s.
[-]
Further, the UNHCR has always abused the Kenyan hospitality on numerous of occasions, but it has never bothered to build a single modern regional (children and women's) hospital, several modern primary schools, secondary schools, colleges or technical institutions, rural access roads, let alone advocate for the growing of trees that are adaptable to the semi-arid climate in northern and north-eastern parts of the country.
[-]
As expected, the lame excuse used or employed as a cover and strategic defence is always, "the refugees camps are temporary, the refugees ("human commodities") are not intended to stay in one place for far too long," because the UNHCR makeshift structures are only meant to act as processing facilities in a remote region of a third world country.
[-]
And by the way, is it any surprising that the resumes of most former wazungu contractors, sub-contractors, and employees are highlighted and heavily beefed up with the so-called work related projects ("managerial or supervisory experience") done at various refugee camps in the northern and north-eastern regions of Kenya?
[-]
UNHCR had real good intentions when it first established the refugee camps five decades ago, but then its policies were not well thought-out, and they have continued to be poorly executed amid colossal wastage of billions and billions of dollars with zero tangibles to show for since the early 1960s.

Enough said about the UNHCR's questionable modus operandi, its money making strategies and well oiled machinery in Kenya and rest of the African continent.

Dadaab to be closed-CS Nkaissery

[quote=D32]So, UN diplomats are here trying to convince Kenya to keep the camp open, then soon, apparently the Turkish prez is coming, perhaps for the same reason, that he is an example of taking refugees.

The camp is just a cash cow to the UN.
