Kenya declares war on Al Shabaab!

[Mafie PM]

Haya pigeni kelele kwenye hili sasa...au mnasubiria kusikia wameshauriwa na Western Countries?

Tz tuna laana, utasikia tu, walalamishi wataanza kama Libya

 

[Tata]

I'm afraid next Friday there will be mass demonstrations in Dar to condemn Kenya for invading Somalia.

Don't worry my brother it goes like this. It's ok for an african to kill a fellow african even if they are of the same religion - remember Darfur?. But when a foreigner kills an african regardless of the motive that is called western imperialism. So it goes without saying that there won't be mass demonstrations in Dar over Kenyans' action.

Nairobi, Saturday October 15, 2011

With over 45 fighter jets and 60 combat long range helicopters shifting base from Nanyuki and Moi Airbases to Elwak and Liboi Garrisons along the border,Kenya has formally declared war against Al Shabaab.

Millitary sources indicate that over 12,000 Army men most of them snipers have already arrived along the border with more trucksloads and transport helicopters moving others from as far as Lanet and Gilgil barracks Nakuru to the border.

Over 75 tanks were also sighted in Isiolo yesterday evening under heavy escort en route to Liboi while heavy war ships from Mtongwe navy Barracks have pitched tent at Kiunga and Manda.

Internal Security minister George Saitoti said the country will invoke Article 51 of the UN Charter to fight the militia group and protect foreigners within Kenya's borders.

"This cannot be left to continue at all, and it means we are now going to pursue the enemy, who are the Al Shabaab, to wherever they will be -- even in their country," he said.

Wakenya hawawawezi Al Shabaab. Ao nyang'au hawana ubavu. Sana sana wanajitafutia balaa la kujitakia. Najua akina Smatta, Mkenyamzalendo, Moyo, Nomasana etc. watabisha/kasirika kwa hili, lakini habari ndo hiyo. Muda si mrefu Nairobi itasambaratika kama Mogadishu, Insha'Allah!

Tayari US wamefanikiwa katika mkakati wao.

Unakumbuka waliingia Somalia na kuanzisha (humanitarian intervention) ambayo baadae wakajiondoa. Sasa wamerudi kwa drone strikes. wameweka base Djibout na sychelles.

Unakumbuka US waliripua balozi zao hapa Tz na Kenya? na kuleta "washauri" wa kijeshi na wachunguzi wa ugaidi? Sasa ni Rasmi Obama anapeleka Askari aka washauri wa kumsaka Konye.

Kwa tamko hili la Kenya ni wazi wanafungua mlango wa kukaribisha na kusambaza vita, ugaidi. Katika siku zijazo TZ itafikiwa na hali hii ya kuingizwa katika mapambano. Al shabab tayari wanalaumiwa kuingia Uganda, Kenya bado TZ.

US wanajua kucheza karata zao vizuri....rasilimali zetu, ndio laana yetu.

Nawafagilia Kenya kuwateketeza hawa Al Shabab, piga risasi kila mmoja wao na waishe na ikiwezekana Kenya waikalie Somalia iwe part of Kenya permanently.

 

[nomasana]

its about damn time

 

[Mutambukamalogo]

Its good what Kenyans are doing. But first they should seek an advice from Tanzania(the most strongert Army hn east Africa and the 9 strongest army in Africa as per wikipedia). Tanzania army knows and are exparts in how to invade an enemy in different country. Msiende kichwakichwa mazee...mtafanywa kama wale wa Black Hawk Dawn...

 

[Leotena]

Kuna wengine wanasema hawa ni off.shoot ya Al qaeda. Kama ni sahihi basi Al qaeda na mujahedeen groups ni creation ya CIA- US kwa malengo ya kuanzisha vita ili wasambaze bases zao kwa lengo la kutanua na kupanua empire yao.

Itizame isssue hii kwa darubini, utaona US anavyojisogeza Afrika na kujenga military partnerships na bases.

China alijitanua kwa kasi Afrika na sasa vita dhidi ya "ugaidi" na "humanitarian interventions" inabidi ziharakishwe na zisambazwe ili kuipiga stop China.

Kenyan troops off to war

The Kenya military has been ordered into action to stop al Shabaab militia from further threatening the country's security and economy.

At a press briefing on Saturday, the country's top security chiefs declared war on the terrorist organisation operating from Somalia and said Kenyan security forces will henceforth pursue the aggressors across the border.

"The Kenyan Government has decided to take robust measures to protect and preserve the integrity of the country and the national economy and security," said a joint statement read by Internal Security minister Prof George Saitoti.

He was accompanied by Defence minister Yusuf Haji. Military sources told the Sunday Nation that troops and military hardware had been mobilised to go after the rag tag militia across the border.

Army trucks

The Sunday Nation also learnt that a convoy of army trucks left Nanyuki for Moyale in the morning on Saturday, with the Engineering Unit based there also said to be headed in the same direction as another unit left for Wajir.

Additional war planes were deployed from the Laikipia Air Base to reinforce others that have been in the area for the past one week.

There were reports on Saturday evening that navy soldiers on patrol near Lamu had "taken out" two speedboats carrying combatants who defied orders to stop. (READ: Kenya's security forces on the spot after attacks)

A separate air attack on a village in Ras Kamboni not far from the Kenya-Somalia border thought to have been carried out by American forces was also reported.

Although Kenya's armed forces are said to be among the most professionally run in Africa, they have never gone to war in the region and this will be the first time they will go after foreign combatants who have threatened Kenya's territorial integrity.

The ministers said the movement of al Shabaab closer to the Kenyan border had brought with it the risk of terrorist attacks on Kenyan soil and asked citizens to be vigilant.

Prof Saitoti gave a chronology of provocative actions by the militia, including the killing of a tourist in Lamu, and abductions of tourists and humanitarian aid workers.

The minister said the government had taken specific measures to enhance security for its citizens and visitors. (READ: Kibaki warns external aggressors)

The steps include increased surveillance at the Coast and border points with special emphasis on tourist locations, additional boats patrolling the Indian Ocean and the adoption of a joint plan with hotels to enhance response to any threats.

Prof Saitoti said Kenya had a right to self-defence, adding that the Constitution and the UN Charter were clear on the defence of borders.

Kenya haina lolote. Ni kibaraka mwengine tu wa Amerika.

Juzi pale yule mama anayetajwa mtalii aliyetekwa hatimaye tulielezwa jeshi la Kenya limeizingira boti inayodhaniwa kuwemo hayo bibi. Sikutaka kujishughulisha kufuatilia kwani nilijuwa wala hawatoikamata kwani ni uongo tu.

Ilikuwa ni matayarisho ya kushiriki vita dhidi ya waislamu wa Somalia inayoongozwa na mbabe mkuu aliyepiga drone ras Kamboni. Kule Tanzania nao wamekamata wasomali maeneo ya mafia.Ni kasi ya fitna ya kimarekani eneo lote la Afrika mashariki na kati.

 

[Mpevu]

Huenda kuna ukweli eneo hili la Afrika Mashariki hakuna usalama, Uganda hapakaliki mpk Marekani kapeleka askari 100, Kenya napo ni hatari tupu na si salama tena, ukanda wa Tanganyika/Zanzibar napo hatuna uhakika shauri ya mazoea ya porojo.
