#3 Who violated a curfew. Whereupon the Kenyans made examples of them. The interesting thing is that we never imposed dusk-to-dawn curfews in Iraq, and my guess is that we paid the price in thousands of dead. The oft-quoted Malayan emergency repeatedly used by the Brits as a prop to demonstrate their superior guerrilla-fighting skills featured dusk-to-dawn curfews over the course of a decade. The Kenyans seem to have taken the lessons from that relatively low-tech 50's era conflict to heart and implemented the necessary administrative measures to keep the insurgency on the brink of starvation and on the run. Unlike the US in Iraq, Kenya doesn't have $100B a year to spend fighting al Shabab. Better hungry Somalis than dead Kenyans.
