For some very unknown reason we are not getting any answers from Kenyan
government, and for the last two days they have clipped information flow it
must only be released by Ministry of internal affairs which is not talking
either. Now this is where it gets more strange, in matters like these we should
be able to get independent information from Red Cross for it is funded by our
sleeves than the government, but The Red Cross of Kenya is not talking either.
Something very strange is happening in Kenyan and where is the entire mob of
press that flew to Kenya? To tell you the truth I had more information flow the
train bus accident we had in Ottawa than the Nairobi incident. And look at the
photographs coming out they are a recycle of God knows how many days !!!!

Good questions, EM. And how many hostages/innocents were killed by the
police/army? How many succumbed to friendly fire? Initial reports put the
number of the deceased to as high as 69. This number has now been revised to
62! What happened to the other 7? Did they actually die? Who did the body
count? And who were the people arrested at the airport allegedly in connection
with the Mall attack?
Ebibuuzo bingi; answers ntono!

Now that the operation has ended, why am I still missing the numbers? How many
terrorists did we have? How many terrorists died and how many survived? How
many hostages did we have? How many hostages were killed by the terrorists? How
many hostages were killed by the government forces/Police inclusive? How many
hostages were set free?
Shouldn’t these numbers be public today?

Video: Gunfire, smoke erupt on third day of Kenya shopping-mall standoff
Somalia’s al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group has claimed responsibility for the
attack, which began at lunchtime on Saturday. Kenyan officials say there were
10 to 15 attackers.
President Barack Obama offered U.S. support, saying he believed Kenya – the
scene of one of al-Qaeda’s first major attacks, in 1998, and a neighbor of
chaotic Somalia – would continue to be a regional pillar of stability.
Kenyan security forces believed the end was in sight for the siege at the
upmarket shopping mall in the capital, saying its forces were “in control” as
the ordeal entered its fourth day.
A government official said there was no resistance from the attackers late on
Monday night after a barrage of gunfire and blasts throughout the day, but that
the security forces were cautious in case some attackers were hiding in the
building.
“Our forces are combing the mall floor by floor looking for anyone left behind.
We believe all hostages have been released,” the Ministry of Interior said on
Twitter.
The siege has followed a pattern of bursts of gunfire and activity followed by
long lulls.
Patronized by well-to-do Kenyans and expatriates, Westgate mall epitomized the
African consumer bonanza that is drawing foreign investment – from West and
East – to one of the world’s fastest growing regions.
Al-Qaeda killed more than 200 people when it bombed the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi
in 1998. When fighters from its Somali ideological counterpart stormed the mall
on Saturday, they hit a high-profile symbol of Kenya’s economic power.
Obama, whose father was born in Kenya, said the United States stood with
Kenyans against “this terrible outrage.”
“We will provide them with whatever law enforcement support that is necessary.
And we are confident that Kenya will continue to be a pillar of stability in
eastern Africa,” he said in New York.
Kenya has sent troops to Somalia as part of an African Union force trying to
stabilize the country, which was long without a functioning government, and
push back al-Shabab.
It has also suffered internal instability. President Uhuru Kenyatta, who lost a
nephew in the weekend bloodbath, faces charges of crimes against humanity at
the International Criminal Court for his alleged role in coordinating violence
after disputed elections in 2007. He denies the charges.
Kenyatta has dismissed a demand that he pull Kenyan forces out of Somalia,
saying he would not relent in a “war on terror.”
British Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said he believed six Britons had died
in the attack. Other known foreign victims are from China, Ghana, France, the
Netherlands and Canada. Kenyan officials said the total death toll was at least
62.
FOREIGN FIGHTERS
Kenya believes there are also foreigners among the attackers, with military
chief Julius Karangi saying they came from all over the world. “We are fighting
global terrorism here,” he said, without giving their nationalities.
U.S. authorities are urgently looking into information given by the Kenyan
government that residents of Western countries, including the United States,
may have been among the attackers, U.S. security sources said.
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said he had no direct
information that Americans had participated in the attack, but expressed U.S.
worries.
“We do monitor very carefully and have for some time been concerned about
efforts by al-Shabab to recruit Americans or U.S. persons to come to Somalia,”
Rhodes told reporters travelling with Obama to the United Nations in New York.
Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the militants had set fire to
mattresses in a supermarket on the mall’s lower floors and his ministry later
said the blaze was under control. Two attackers were killed on Monday, taking
the total of dead militants so far to three, he told a news conference.
Speculation rose about the identity of the attackers. Ole Lenku said they were
all men but that some had dressed as women.
Despite his comments, one intelligence officer and two soldiers told Reuters
that one of the dead militants was a white woman. This is likely to fuel
speculation that she is the wanted widow of one of the suicide bombers who
together killed more than 50 people on London’s transport system in 2005.
Called the “white widow” by the British press, Samantha Lewthwaite is wanted in
connection with an alleged plot to attack hotels and restaurants in Kenya.
Asked if the dead woman was Lewthwaite, the intelligence officer said: “We
don’t know.”
A spokesman for al-Shabab warned they would kill hostages if Kenyan troops
tried to storm their positions. “The mujahideen will kill the hostages if the
enemies use force,” Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage said in an online audio statement.
>From Mali to Algeria, Nigeria to Kenya, violent Islamist groups – tapping into
>local poverty, conflict, inequality or exclusion but espousing a similar
>anti-Western, anti-Christian creed – are striking at state authority and
>international interests, both economic and political.
John Campbell, a former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, said he believed insurgents
such as those who rebelled in Mali last year, the Nigerian Boko Haram Islamist
sect and the Nairobi mall raiders were also partly motivated by anger with what
he called “pervasive malgovernance” in Africa.
“This is undoubtedly anti-Western and anti-Christian but it also taps into a
lot of deep popular anger against the political economy in which they find
themselves, in which a very small group of people are basically raking off the
wealth,” he said.

This is a quote:
"Even if Joseph Kony was killed, that would not necessarily be the end of the
war in northern Uganda because Kony is no more than a ‘ spiritual’ leader of
the LRA. This quick fix, arm-chair solution seemed to be from the Kampala-based
‘opinion leaders’ who only know the war through newspapers".
" Until the legitimate grievances and the marginalization of northern Uganda’s
communities are addressed, LRA fighters remain a possible vehicle for the
expression of northerners’ frustrations".
"Kony may never sign a peace agreement. Whether or not he signs, however, is
less relevant to avoiding new conflict in northern Uganda than ending
marginalization policies and fulfilling promises by the Ugandan government."
