A complex societal problem, kama ni cultural basi waachwe waporane wauwane mpaka wamee akili some time in the tail end of the 21st century even with their sponsors in the political realm. Azawise it’s high time for a “COIN” operation: anti-guerrilla warfare. Specialised teams za 30 SOF Battalion ama wa AP or Recce units to lie up in position kwa observation posts na kama ni mauwano mauwano just send armed drones after locking their positions ama airstrikes from F5 Laikipia bana tujimalize wenyewe kwa wenyewe. 
Hapa ata njaro za MACV-SOG Vietnam hawatoboi hio terrain haina kwa kujificha ukistalk hawa majamaa
Surely, how can you go to a battlefield terrain such as this in a Landcruiser? - you are sitting ducks for those people we are calling bandits
The best option would be complete annihilation through air strikes. Hapo itakuwa ngumu kujificha.
Ruto, unlike Uhuru, is a Kalenjin and if he kills Pokot, you won’t hear a lot of “huyu anaua watu wetu”.
as a member of keyboard defence forces, dorobo thinks a lot depends on tactical leadership. it does not matter the type of unit or equipment. same job could have been done by reservists with g3 on foot if leadership is informed intuitive and intelligent.
To marry this maiden from the Ethiopian Todonyang tribe whom are related to the Turkana, you will need over 500 cattle as bride price. Where do you expect a young man to get the cattle from? He will simply organise his warrior friends and raid a neighbouring tribe.

How many Pokots are there? And remember you don’t have to kill all of them…
This problem has been allowed to fester for too long. The Marakwet and Tugen have suffered immensely which is why the former even voted for Kibaki in 2002.
When Jomo was president, he formed the ASTU which even had paratroopers and planes. The theory was that the paratroopers would parachute ahead of the bandits and lay an ambush.
Then Moi happened.
The unit was termed ‘ngoroko’ and disbanded because it was then commanded by Ass. Commish Mungai, RV PPO. Bad Gikuyu.
The Pokots reverted to type.
The number of deaths caused by the senseless violence now runs into thousands.
I see people saying the Pokots can fight nashindwa sana. How do you fight against attack helos and armoured vehicles?
The trouble is that COs don’t value their boys. Unatumia aje officers in the dark in soft skin landcruisers to pursue armed people? Same shit by the way happens on the Somali border…very pathetic…
North Eastern bado ni war zone, wenye hufly huko wanafaa kuwa cleared unlike flying to other areas within kenya
Whatever is taught at the military academy is what pokots practice in their normal daily lives.
@Kodiaga is right, under normal circumstances a report of stock theft to police does not result in regular police station cops going after the stolen stock.
The regular cops contact the AntiStockTheftUnit and coordinate/assist in recovery efforts.
Those cops most probably would not have gone after the stolen stock were it not for pressure from the mwanamke leader.

Next…
Si wapeleke hawa,?I can never shed a tear for some police officers kulingana na vile huwa wamatreat unarmed civilians, niliona wengine wakiwa na ak47 wakiwa wamekanyanga makanga wa Lori vichwa juu ya misunderstanding kidogo ya barabara,sasa kama hao si wapelekwe huko wakadeal na hao pokot?

The next news from there will be of innocent civilians protesting police brutality…saa hii wale waliua 11 cops wako ethiopia ama south sudan…
Where do the Pokot get their bullets from?
GK ikijibu hio swali alafu inyonge supply then rustling itaisha and the guns will become ceremonial attire
But gava is full of idiots that can’t ask themselves basic questions so I’m not expecting much
What is there to discuss? Hawa watatii… Killing an officer is not a sport for discussion, to make matters worse they take poses with dead…what messages are they passing across esp to fellow young men? I pity that village
shida sio wapolisi, shida ni interferrance by non-police influencers and busy bodies. Watu wale wa kujifanya community leaders wanakimbiza polisi kila mahali juu wako na deep pockets and connections. Am sure the police had no say on their mode of transport, wao walimabiwa kimbieni kimbieni twende twende tukadeal na wezi wa ng’ombe. The assholes who led them to slaughter obviously had no strategic thinking behind their mouths.
Somalia, S.Sudan and Ethiopia… difficult task to accomplish, however GoK can pacify it’s territory to a tone of “use bullets at your own peril”. How do you ambush officers on a peace keeping initiative surely.
Ushenzi mtupu
Waache hio upuzi.i saw Tecla Rolupe ako na foundation ya educating/empowering pokot girls to embrace morden ways while @Gaza and his agemates are still in the bush with rusty AK’s raiding neighborhoods for skinny borans
Zinauzwa kwa soko vile maembe huuzwa kwa soko. Kuna documentary fulani YouTube shows it. Back in the days city criminals used to buy ammo kutoka huko
Hawa wanjinga wa kuzaliwa ma 2003 wakipatana na hao Pokots. Pokots wanawatomba mikundu bila aremis. This are celerac boys while the Pokots ran over cactus while shoeless. Naeza taka sana watumwe Baragoi muone survivors wakirudi na diapers brakes zikiwa zimeimaliswo na BBC za pokots
So in your wisdom kuna bandit ataiba ng’ombe, auwe askari na raia halafu arudi kukunywa busaa kwa village yao akingoja the deployed KDF wamufikie? Mnavutanga bangi gani hio ama maji mnakunywa kwenyu ndio iko na ujinga hivyo?
