Tension in Mombasa as Al-Shabaab suspect Rogo killed

THis discussion is too serious for the kind diatribe it has been reduced to be.
Here is my theory based on the evidence on the ground. Sheikh Aboud was killed by Al-Shabaab. This is why. Since last October when KDF invaded Somalia, to destroy Al-shabaab, Kenya has suffered a series of grenade attacks in public places blamed on Al-shabaab, operatives and sympathizers in the country.

The purpose of the attacks was ti intimidate Kenyans so that they pressure the government to withdraw its forces from Somalia. That failed. Then this year, a number of churches and and church meetings were attacked by the same goons. Again this did not provoke the kind of outcry Al shabaab was looking for. And the Kenyan Military was surely closing on them.
Then Al-shabaab , the evil force that it is, had to target one of their own, Aboud Rogo who allegedly had links with Al-Shabaab. Being a cleric and an influential personality, his death would provoke violent response from his supporters.
News reports have it that the Youth today were attacking anyone and everyone. The youth burned Churches and other property. They also attacked a Police truck with a hand grenade. Apparently the killers of the Sheikh are still around Mombasa working to provoke more violence.
Apparently, the idea is to provoke violence in a larger scale so that in the Coast province so that Public outcry would force the government to withdraw from Somalia and thus save Kismayu and Al shabaab, the shame of annihilation. Just a thought

Jamani hali sio yenyewe kabisa Mombasa...
nadhani serikali imeshindwa kumanage hii crisis
Nina ndugu yangu from M'sa anasema ataondoka kwa siku kadhaa
kuna viongozi wa kiislam wanasema pamoja na kua
they don't support the violence, the looting and killing,
they acknowledge the youth right to dermonstrate their anger
sababu they are always marginalised by the government (as muslims).
Yani ukisikiliza viongozi kadhaa wanavoongea
unaweza kuhisi kuna sauti ya uamsho ndani yao...

Kenyan police have fought running battles with Muslim protesters in the coastal city of Mombasa for a second day.



​
 


The riots were sparked by the killing of radical Muslim cleric Aboud Rogo Mohammed on Monday.




One person was hacked to death on Monday and there are reports that a police officer and a civilian were killed on Tuesday after a grenade was thrown into the vehicle they were in. Another 16 people have been taken to hospital
​
 


Churches have been attacked and shops looted in the mainly Muslim city.




The security forces say they are in control of the situation in Mombasa, a popular tourist destination.
​
 


Mr Rogo was travelling in this minibus with his family when he was shot dead by "unknown people", police say. His supporters allege that he was the victim of a "targeted assassination" and blame the authorities.




The controversial cleric's body was carried by civilians along the Mombasa-Malindi highway on Monday.
​
 


Mr Rogo's father-in-law survived the day-time attack, along with his wife and children.
​
 


In 2005, a Kenyan court acquitted Mr Rogo, who the UN and US accuse of financing militant Islamists in Somalia, over an attack three years earlier on an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa.

Huwezi kutoa mkono wa Wamarekani kwenye hii issue.Wao ndo magaidi wakubwa duniani
 

aha! nimepata jibu! kumbe wanapewa dhamana kusudi warejee mitaani waweze kuhukumiwa na kupewa adhabu ya kifo pasipo na utaratibu wa sheria? hatari ya huu mfumo ni kwamba kesho atauwawa asiye kuwa na hatia, kwa hiyo ata kama huyu mtu simpendi, siwezi kuunga mkono jinsi alivyo sogezwa.

BHULULU,

Asante kwa hilo angalizo.

Kukupa perspective ya hili bandiko ni kwamba kulikua na story mbili hapo juu.

Ya kwanza ni kua walikua wamemkamata Sheikh Rogo hapa Aug 15 kwa mashataka ya
"Illegal gun position". Hata hivyo hawakua na ushahidi wa kutosha au uchunguzi ulikua
haujakamilika na ikabidi wamuache huru.

Kisha kuna bandiko la Aug 27ambapo kama usemavyo nd'o siku aliouwawa.

Samahani kwa usumbufu.

Ab-Titchaz.

The muslim religion does not teach tolerance towards christians as the Christian teaches tolerance towards muslims. The key reason for enemity is that christians claim that their way is the only way to God and everyone should be a christian while muslims claim their's is the only way to God and everyone should be a muslim, muslims further teach to despise the non believers. If these two religions did not exisit there would be more peace in the world. Question. Is there only one God? I say no. One God would not devide people to this extent. The christians have their God and the moslems have their's. Both God's seem able to take care of their people - if indeed they are the ones who do so, as even those with neither of the two Gods seem to be doing well, e.g the hindus, budhists and atheists.I always say the God of muslims and the God of christians should come out openly and solve the problem once and for all as their fanatical followers are unable, but the Gods have refused to emerge from their lofty thrones and say something. Only their human representatives who hardly know, heard from or even seen their bosses. Two superbly written books continue to cause all the strife. The enemity shall continue until good islamic leaders come out and openly preach tolerance. After all both sides have had hundreds of years to prove beyond reasonable doubt what they teach but have they?
 
Mimi sijaielewa serikali ya Kenya!Huyu jamaa si alikuwa ana kesi mahakamani?Sasa kwanini wanamuua tena jamani au haiamini mahakama zake?
