8 Kenyan Police Killed By Bomb Blast Near Somalia Border
[RADIOSHABELLE] Eight Kenyan police officials were killed in the eastern part of the country on Sunday after their vehicle hit an improvised bomb planted by Somalia’s al-Shabaab...  Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...hard boy group, police said. Al-Shabaab is fighting to topple Somalia’s government, establish their own rule based on their strict interpretation of Islamic law and drive out of the country peacekeepers deployed by the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... The bully boyz frequently launch attacks in neighbouring Kenya to pressure it to withdraw its troops which form part of the peacekeeping force. Charles Owino, Kenya’s police front man, told Rooters that five administration police and three reservists were killed "while protecting our borders and security of the county". Abdiasis Abu Musab, al-Shabaab’s military operations front man, said the group killed 10 Kenyan soldiers in the attack. Posted by: Fred 2018-06-19 |
