Six Christians Shot Dead in Somalia

On Friday morning, a group of terrorists targeted Kenyan hawkers engaged in cross-border trade, killing at least six individuals.
The victims, believed to be Christians, were reportedly shot at close range, suggesting a religiously motivated attack. This incident adds to a worrying trend of rising terror activity near the Kenya-Somalia border. Authorities suspect the attackers belong to the al-Shabaab militant group, known for its extremist activities in Somalia and East Africa. The group's proximity to the border facilitates cross-border attacks, often employing firearms and explosives to inflict casualties.
Kenyan law enforcement has intensified operations in response to these threats. A recent intelligence-led mission in Garissa County led to the discovery of an al-Shabaab base and the seizure of weapons, bomb-making materials, and supplies. The apprehension and ongoing interrogation of four suspected militants from this operation has yielded valuable information about a local al-Shabaab network.
Another successful operation in Fafi, Garissa County, earlier in March, resulted in the deaths of five suspected al-Shabaab militants and the capture of four others. Authorities seized a significant cache of weapons and bomb-making materials, along with mobile phones containing crucial leads on the group's activities. The location served as a logistical base for the militants, offering a staging ground for attacks and a retreat point.
The severity of these attacks has prompted the Kenyan government to postpone the reopening of the Kenya-Somalia border. This decision reflects the need to prioritize security measures to combat the persistent threat posed by al-Shabaab and other terrorist organizations operating in the region.

I wish Jomo kenyatta was alive.
He never played with terrorists.
But in the same token, Islam doesn't condone this kind of behavior.
Ruto, just go straight to Somalia and do what kenyatta did.
An eye for an eye.
