keen steps.

The government of Kenya has recently resolved to sending her troops to man the boarders between her and Somalia. Her navy officers have also intensified their patrol in the high seas as they endevour to tame the looming threat. Kenya, just like any other country of the world is aware of the potential threat cause by the Al Shabab together with their Pirate friends. This is particularly important keeping in mind that she has to take care of her citizens from any potential harm from the said 'enemies.'

However, she fails in one attempt, rather than taking a more vigorous and direct approach, she is acting like a spectator in a football match. Why?

For the past two decades, somalis have not had anything to call a government. They, as a result have become survivors. given that Somalia has no mineral base to earn her foreign pay nor enough rain to sustain her with enough food and water, many of the young men have lost hope. The only remaining solution is to use all means necessary to survive. These people have little to loose and Kenya should know this for sure. Secondly, the latest census results provide a sufficient proof that more than any other decade, the number of somalis has tremendously increased. They even have their 'capital' in Eastleigh. Therefore, Kenyan sending her troops at the boarders is a costly temporary measure.

Uganda on her part has sent her troop in somalia to curb the insurgency of al Shabab and other related groups. What she has however failed to recognize is that there is no known circumstance where weapons have ever brought peace. Peace can never be bought, she can only be achieved through dialogue of the people who are ready for her. Yes, there is a time when force is necessary in establishing peace, however, force is not the source of such a reality. As a result, Kampala has been bombed of recent and many more threats are coming in.

Possibly what this people want is to be recognized as human beings, so that they can live in a an organized society. May be what they want is for the world to help them establish a state of their own, to move from the Hobbean state of nature, to protect the little property they have and bury their differences.

The New Kenya's Constitution with her partner the vision 2030 will be rendered insignificant once this situation is not curbed. The world has indeed become a village and to protect 'you' is to protect 'me.'
