Nine Kenyan Police Officers Killed in Terror Attacks in Mandera and Garissa

Nine Kenyan police officers were killed in two separate terrorist attacks in Mandera and Garissa on Wednesday.

In the first incident, five officers traveling in a convoy escorting Mandera Governor Ali Rosa to a campaign event died when the vehicle they were traveling in was blown up by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) at the Fino area.

In the second incident that happened in Garissa, four administration police officers died when the vehicle they were traveling in hit a landmine near Kulan Dam in Liboni. Two other officers were injured in the attack.

North Eastern Regional Co-ordinator Mohamud Saleh said Al-Shabaab was behind the attack.

“They have resorted to planting explosives because they now find it difficult to carry out attacks as they used to, because security has been beefed up along borders and in nearby towns,” said Mohamud.

    The Inspector of Police said the other day that Terrorists had entered Kenya from Somalia. But did he Take Any taps to Stop the Terrorists in Their Tracks?

    There is a Swahili proverb that says, " Kwa mwoga huenda kicheko na kwa shujaa huenda kilio." The closest translation in the English language is, " When a coward returns home after being afraid to fight, people laugh at him/her on the other hand, at the braves person's home, there is mourning."

    Kenya has suffered enough from our challenging Somali brothers and sisters. It is time to pull out our brave soldiers from this "hell on earth" country called Somalia." The BBC announced a few minutes ago that many Kenyan women have been abducted by these "challenging people" from Mombasa and Malindi and are serving as "sex slaves" to the Somali fighters! And others are being used as "unpaid domestic servants."

    How long are we going to continue crying since our leaders have sacrificed our brave men and women in uniform to go and fight these extremely irrational Somali men.

    As soon as our troops pull out of Somali land, if they is one single Kenyan killed, all Somali males between the ages of eight to eighty will be rounded up and deported to Siberia in Russia where they will meet Comrade Vladimir Putin waiting for them.

    In conclusion, you cannot win a war when you are fighting mad men. Over 80% of the Somali people are mentally crazy because of inbreeding. In this culture, first cousins can marry one another. This is the primary reason why they (Somali) are crazy people.

    Hay Msema Kweli, couldn't the same proverb apply to Al shabab warriors as well?
    In my opinion, its not time to leave. If we leave now, these cowards will think that they are winning. The problem I have is that we are fighting somalis battle. Al shabab has given somali hell for year.It's up to somalis to contain it so that it does not spill over to the good neighbor, Kenya. sometimes I wonder if they really care...
    About crazy 80% of somalis being mentally crazy, I dont know,but I can say for sure that 100% of Al shababs are crazy.Why cannot these cowards get it in their heads that,you fight ideology with ideology.You dont have to force people to follow your ways,especially religious ones.If you have good progressive ideas,people will employ them without force.And yes Iam mindful that some will say good ideas are relative. Well, the measuring standard/stick,is "does it harm humanity in anyway?"
