Five
unarmed civilians were killed and several others were injured in Rhamo,
Mandera County.
On Thursday May 15, 2014, one Gharri owned
passenger vehicle was ambushed at Rhamo by the
Al
Shebab sympathizing Degodia rebels. Also, two
Camel herders were killed in the Takaba District
at Khofole by the Degodia gunmen. However,
nothing has been done by the Kenyan government.
This is believed to be retaliation for the
Degodia militia who were killed earlier after
clashing with unknown gunmen who completely
overwhelmed them.
According to a reliable source, it is estimated
that the Degodia lost nearly ten militia men and
a few more were severely injured. Subsequently,
the Degodia governor of Wajir County then
ordered his clansmen to attack and get revenge.
As a result, innocent civilians from Rhamu lost
their lives. Also, it is documented fact that
the Kenyan security forces and district
commissioners have been creating disharmony
among Northern Kenya and Somali clans, the same
way they have succeeded in making the Pokot and
Turkana fight each other. The recent Somali
community targeting was also a tool to create
tension within the land to stiffle development
in the Northestern Counties.
Corruption and violence are the orders of the
day. Kenya holds a police force whose primary
business is to solicit bribes instead of
supporting the citizens and the state.
Alshabab
terrorists are causing havoc while the
government is provoking clan wars to change the
ire of the Kenyan people.
The Mandera incident is a classic Kenyatta/Ruto
tactic they execute by enlisting corrupt
journalists who are established in Northern
Kenya. The primary examples are the interdicted
notorious and corrupt Walter Baraza and his
co-conspirator Adow Jubat. Kenya is going down
the wrong path including selling the future
resources of the country to Chinese locusts, who
will end up consuming the national treasures
until they are fully exhausted. Kenya needs to
stop these parasites who enrich themselves at
the cost of the national welfare.
The Garre and Degodia leaders need to
stop these attempts by outsiders to cause chaos
in their counties and instead, focus on
promoting the economic welfare of their
neglected counties. It is time they roll down
their sleeves, get down to business, and start
promoting development. It is time they move all
their wealth from Nairobi into northern Kenya.
We have all witnessed what happened in Merti
Borana village where the corrupt Kenyan police
descended on Borana’s grieving families,
wounding several village elders and families who
were in attendance at the funeral. This is what
the Kenyan government does in the Northern
region of its land. It is time for Degodia to
act like a brother instead of acting like a
rabid dog.

The
Gabra and Borana Conflict has reached unchartered territories.
The Marsabit County government have accused the
Oromo Liberation Front of carrying out the
current killing of 4 Gabra herdsmen and their
herds.
On Saturday, January 04, 2014, four Gabra
herdsmen and over 37 of their animals were
killed at the Oda watering point in Moyale
district just 50 meters away from Oda Police
post. The 37 herds killed were consists of 22
camels, 13 Goats and 2 cattle.
Why did the police fail to protect those
herdsmen and their animals from being
slaughtered, especially when it happened so
close to their post?
If we assume the police are actually
competent, it appears to me that either the
killers are amongst the police stationed there
or they have been paid off to stay away while
the mayhem was going on. What do you think?
