President Uhuru Kenyatta

At least five people were killed on Monday night in a fresh attack in Witu a few kilometers from Mpeketoni in Lamu, where more than 60 people were massacred last week. Authorities said armed gunmen attacked villagers in Witu, leaving scores of people injured in Monday night’s raid. Lamu County.
This comes barely after Mpeketoni attack two weeks ago where about 60 lives were lost.This also follows another killing that happened on Sunday where 20 lives were lost after two Somali clans in the north-eastern part of the country attacked each other in a whats is said to be a dispute in the two counties borders lines.

The west gate attack was carried by Al-shabab

Of recent there has an increase in attacks within Kenya soils which was directed to Al-shabab group from Somalia who were defeated by Kenya defense army, but the situation seems different as there are reports from the government which are pointing a finger to local politicians who belongs to CORD alliance.
The President in on record as saying that the attack we are witnessing is not work of Al-shabab but its locally planned.
There are three incidents that the Government is absolving the terror group from and blames the opposition and specifically the CORD alliance which Raira Amollo Odinga is de factor leader.

Raira Odinga at Tononka grounds in Mombasa

This attacks happened at Gikomba market, an open market that sells second hand cloths and its most customers are people of low earnings.The second attack happned in two buses along the Thika superhighway, where one of suspect was arrested, he was a young boy from Mr. Raira community, also another man from same community was arrested for operating a twitter account that claimed responsibility of the attack at Mpeketoni to Al-shabab, only to turn he was a Kenyan from Raira community.
Its my hope and wish that Kenya will not go the way some Arabs countries have gone, Syria, Egypt, Libya etc and we are seeing a very worrying scene happening in South Sudan which is neighbor to Kenya.
