The Boni forest puzzle

This beautiful sanctuary has been turned into a bastion of the Islamist group Al Shabab and all interventions to flash them out by our security operatives is proving futile.
They’re running amok in this forest, killing and roasting residents animals at will, poisoning water sources, beheading ‘kafirs’ at will and there seems to be no answer from our government.
It it the topography of the area? is it that our govt has turned into an environmentalist agency that it can’t bomb the forest flat or what is a miss?

Kijana, bombs siyo njugu karanga.

I thought there shld be gas bombs, ukinusa unaanguka hapo tu. that shld be the solution here

Conventions kijana, conventions, we cant even mine that area. We are a signatory to some conventions. Funny enough, both Russia and US are not.

I want us out of anti-personnel mines convention asap. If I were in the frontline, i would want to use all defences i can to protect my team. Hii mambo ya convention iishe. We can always demine after operations are over. Perimeter security is absolutely important when youre deployed area unaweza enda home kwa bag.

If al kebabs are hiding there I say bomb it to smithereens. Conventions be ferked. We be dealing with them later.
The sovereinity of Kenya is of utmost importance…

Its not that simple Le Me Poubelle. You are saying we fire a missile after a mosquito.

We simply dont have enough resources to carpet bomb that place like the US did in Laos.

We have no missile. But we do have convention bombs,don’t we.

The mosquito,you do not use a hammer when it lands on your forehead,you use an open palm. Not unless it lands on ya balls in which case one would wonder what you were doing naked in a mosquito infested area…
Boni is our mosquito infested are and we got open palms…

I hear from our media that its now liaising with the deadly Boko Haram and quickly morphing into a giant group with sophisticated weapons.
Aerial attacks are difficult with the thick forest cover by canopies, again the terrain is not friendly to ur KDF further complicating issues.
The ministry in charge is complaining its now an expensive affair coz of the amount of millions sinking there in terms of operations.
Tusha dinyika kwa maoni yangu. We may need a michuki soon.

There is some complacency on the government, when the SLDF became a thread to security, the KDF combed Mt. Elgon forest from end to end.

:slight_smile:

That’s chemical weapons…and its illigal

Conventions are documents penned down by guys in suits and agbadas, a governments primary role is to provide security for its people.
No one planted the trees and thickets in Boni, they’ll re-emerge once the Kebabs are annihilated.

Do you have any idea how expansive Boni Forest is? It’s 1,339 square kilometres, almost double the size of Nairobi city. Finding Al Shabaab fighters within is like finding a needle in the proverbial haystack…

Then KDF should stay at the border highlighted red

Watu wanajifanya hapa military strategy experts when the truth is you don’t have all the information,

its not like the forest imeishia exactly kwenye international border it spills into som hence hio si possible

A phrase has been repeated so many times, people get bored and lose. Unfortunately, it is our only cure!
Peace, love and unity! I say, LOVE AND UNITY = PEACE.

Maybe a drone with Thermal energy camera can do wonders…

Its a war crime according to some conventions. And a crime against humanity.
