How true is this?

It could be true, but picture how much a dilemma it is for the locals. They probably didn’t want anything to do with the terror but then the shabab black mail them . It’s tough being a somali right now, the government doesn’t trust you and the shabab black mail you.

hehehe always the Victims eeh?

Yesterday on the news i saw the areas “leaders” blaming the government for intelligence gathering failure. what hypocrisy! a somali will never inform government about another somali. period.

Yes always victims… just thinking off, it could be they in it or as I stated. Who would sacrifice their premises if not black Mailed?
Recall that Westgate mall guy the son to yusuf hajji I think, their family received multiple threats…look back at the interviews

Shait…

This matter is under investigation. Refrain yourselves

If that is true then the government should send kdf huko watu wafinywe makende

Nditto!!

Once asked a “Manderan” about such allegations. He said it is true, but cited a lot of factors behind their reluctance to inform police. Like a typical attempt to inform police about any suspicious activity will have you being treated like the suspect. If anything, he claimed, such informants always fall victim to both shabaabs and police - There are policemen who snitch on informants to shabaabs and such.

In all, it is a complex wave of deception that most “Manderans” hope to be left out of by just keeping quiet since you wouldn’t want to be caught in the wrath of either police or shabaab. The jury is out there though.

You’re beyond this.
Counteract with facts and logic…

pale Arabia iko mwalimu beste yangu alikua pale. A chief saved their sorry Arses.
The day that followed the said chief was shot in a ka small centre as villagers watched while others cheering them Alshababz.
Ferk this alshabab sympathiser above here.

thats y duale promisd an imaginary list of alshabab financiers

Those sympathizing with Al Shabaab haven’t yet been affected. Ngoja mtu waoe aguswe, they’ll feel the pain. It is sooo sad a budding thespian goes there to impart knowledge in a somehow deserted place then they meet their untimely death.
Brocken dreams, untold stories, painful mysteries…May they RIP.

No one supports al shabab, man they killing innocent people left right and center. One has to be a sadist to support such…

arent you seeing a testicle defend them in the replies up there?

When Westgate happened, I personally know of guys who were happy about it. Especially when it was rumoured the attackers were muslims annihilating Xtians. If you read some comments above, you will see a similar direction.

I have worked with the so called marginalized communities and in some of the places locals are so hostile and non accommodative that you are left wondering how to reach out to them.

I’ve learnt to only focus on meaningful debate, most talkers are trolls .

Wariah wacha upuzi.

The owners of that hotel should be made suspects but more importantly, we should close the Kenya Somali border asap!!! Once their businesses start hurting they will give up the kebabs among them.
The border ought to be manned by drones and nothing not even animals should be seen moving towards or away from the border and any moving object should be blown to bits!!!

Alternatively, we can go low tech, we should transport lorry loads of wild boar to patrol that border any moving object should be sprayed with boar entrails :D:D:D
