That GSU gentleman shot on friday and allegedly died later of a gunshot wound is actually alive and in stable condition. Shenzi media!

I read the resurrection and was stunned, then remembered anything goes with the kenya police and have accepted that maybe at kariakor they buried a shoe and not really a protester - who knows for sure? But I was relieved to see the cop well, he looks a nice guy kumbe its that uniform that makes them kali. But demonstrators shooting at anti-cops has set a bad precedent assuming it is not a friendly fire.

BTW, I really don't believe Saitoti Kinuthia's spin that Al Shabaab had anything to do with the riots. So someone waved their flag, big deal. Or that excited teenagers had military fatigues - give me an hour and I could get a jacket or trouser too. Al Sababu have their hands full in Somalia with the TFG.

Can the media also stop using the word 'dreaded' everytime they mention GSU - such a hackneyed and soooo tired cliche!

Intelligentsia - Surely, waving a foreign (Al-Shaabab is somali/an not Kenyan) flag in a hostile environement is not kosher... is it?

hi all
am muslim and truth be told Al Faisal ACCCHINDWE.for all i care he can be deported to siberia or a foot & mouth infested island near the north pole.

FYI a lot of my muslim brothers share the same sentiment.

However, the ongoing indiscriminate swoops being conducted in 'somali infested' areas will boomerang on the govt.y do i say so?as Macharia Gaitho aptly put it,this alienation of a group of people will only serve to fuel the extrimist agenda.

na pia sincerely,bado govt is maintaining the shoot to kill policy when dealing with protestors?

Trust me, the nxt protest may be bloodier. Dont think the police wil be so holy after almost losing their own...

let the Somalis (nationals of Somalia) be sent to Daadab refugee camp like yesterday. We don't want chaos in our country. It is even worse, when their action presents an opportunity for religious fundamentalists, while many Kenyans are for peace!

Where was this Faisal headed to next after Kenya?.. He seemed to be on tour in Africa... Kajwang should ask the guy where he intended to go to next and off he goes, send him there. see him off at the border and if the next country refuses.. sneak him in. if they find out, well we can always tell them he was headed to their country after kenya anyway.. shida solved..

@Mcreggae
I agree with you 110%

1000% point acceptance.
No foreeigner shud hold this great land at ransom.u know these somalis like piracy so much so that they have already hijacked that corner of nbi.soon they will demand ransom/taxes to gain entrance into that district.see how they import goods tax free frrm Dubai.and with regional govas in the draft, i swear these guyz will demand a regional gova in this part of nbi!!!lol.wat will happen???we taalk of guns/bombs (dropped in bars) n all mannerr of arsenal in this nation...source....SOMALIA.if saitoti n his cronies arentt careful, this land is already sold to these al Sh***t especially in nai.let the police crash their Shits til they fly back. Kudos 2 karau.

@mcreg

Spot on! anyone condemning the swoops is just being ridiculous... where else did they expect the police to go smoke out the illegal immigrants of somali origin? in nyahururu or kapenguria?

When the same security body was smoking out mungiki, did they hear them do it in Mandera or kisumu central? Its just logical to target where the problem is.....

Kwani, if your car cant start, do you check for the problem in the boot or do you go to the bonnet?

@anfield
I have muslim friends and its sad this is happening but you wouldnt expect the police to know who is kenyan and who is not just by looking at their faces (here am talking of kenyan somalis and somali somalis)... thye have to do the swoop... you agree that it is the "muslim - and they looked like somalis" (i dont know if kenyan or somalians) that were demonstrating and not the christian luos or kalenjins on friday... so where on earth do you expect the government to get to the root of this if they dont do the swoop and of course in the place they are likely to get these people? As @njunge said, the swoops are all over the country, but right now, we have a major problem with the somalis coming into kenya so that is more urgent than trying to dig out a peaceful ugandan at some other corner... and that doesnt mean he wont be through out too... but we deal with emergencies first.

And dont give us the crap of "extremists".... you got to deal with it... we dint see no extremists when the mungiki swoops were being done, and neither when matekwans of Mt. elgon... so why expect the muslims to be treated any different.. give us a break!
