Operation Linda Nchi started in Kenya on 14
October 2011, following the capture of tourists by weapons at the coast, which
was perceived as a threat to the country by the government
Kenya's
incursion into southern Somalia began after two Spanish women who worked for
MSF were kidnapped at Dadab refugee camp. Militants were kidnapped to drive
Operation Linda Nchi away through the military.
Their
actions were carried out. Two years later, troops were successful in seizing
control of Kismayo Harbor under Operation Sledge Hammer. The soldiers freed
many regions throughout the Kenyan border.
The
terrorists are still able to reach Kenya in spite of operations to launch
attacks. Their remains in Kenya support them.
Another alshabab
Six
Al Shabaab anarchists were killed in Jirole, Garissa County, by a security
operation. The event took place in an embassy of the Special Forces on Friday
morning. Officials said that a suspect was captured living.
The
North Eastern Region Commission has been informed by Nicholas Ndalana that
activities have been underway in the area in order to stop there planned
attacks. "When the operations continue, the captured person is
questioned," he says.
The
Special Forces have been deployed in the region following reports from
terrorists traveling to Kenya and assaults against safety and non-local
workers.
In
order to deal with the increased cases of al-Shabaab attacks, Ndalana said they
had launched operations on the main border. This happens in Mandera County with
reports that more activists have been spotted.
Officials
said five al-Shabaab armed activists were found heading for Borehole 11 on
Saturday and were likely to plant road explosives. On the Kutulo-Wargadud road
a further group of 11 were seen. "There's a chance that both groups,
either IED or embushes, will target vehicles on those routes," the local
security agent said.
Ndalana
said that there were more patrols in the region. The threats were fired days
after two people were assassinated by militants and two people were lost in
Mandera. Following this, the gang set the ambush at Jabibar's Rhamu-Elwak Road.
According to officials, up to 20 people have been killed by militants in the
area in the past two months in separate terrorist attacks.
From
January to February this year, there were 16 attacks in the counties of
Garissa, Lamu, Mandera and Wajir alone. Last month, President Uhuru Kenyatta
spent 14 days providing a friendly solution to the problems of safety that
affect a range of activities, including education, to the North Eastern
leaders.
The
President said the leaders are homemakers and the local people should be
tackled. The President The Head of State told the group that security agents
had been sealed away from the central borders between Kenya and Somalia.
They
spoke of the current crisis of Teachers Service Commission (TSC) removal of
non-Somali teachers from of the country and agreed that governance must take
certain steps to remedy the situation while implementing long-term safety
measures.
After
tragedies of attack against them, TSC removed all – anti-local teachers from
Garissa. Since 2014 there have been up to 42 teachers murdered in separate
attacks. This has been followed by more attacks in the region. More security
officers were sent to the region behind the occurrences to confront al-Shabaab
militants.

an anti-terrorist assault in Kwale County, two children six years of age and
three who were claimed by the police were used as a human shield. In the Friday
evening raid, a terror suspect on flight was killed who often left four others
with a lot of serious injury, including the pregnant wife of the suspect.
Mohamed
Mapenzi, identified as Spain, the alleged al-Shabaab militant, killed a top
policeman in Kibundani who trailed him in his house. He threw a grenade for the
officers and seriously wounded them. Then the officers opened fire with the two
children and murdered him.
The
woman suspect, who was also pregnant, also injured her and taken her in
Msambweni Hospital. Another suspect who, as with the police, was wanted brought
them to Mapenzi’s house.

police station, which would steal arms. The police also said they had an active
cell dismantled in the area.
