Once again, the central government seems powerless to prevent this kind of thing from happening, despite its repeated assurances.
“6 killed in suspected Al-Shabaab attack on police camp in Kenya,” by Andrew Wasike, Anadolu Agency, March 23, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Six police officers have been killed in an attack by suspected al-Shabaab terrorists on a National Police Reservists (NPR) camp in northeastern Kenya, officials said on Sunday.
The attack occurred in the remote area of Fafi in Garissa County, near Kenya’s border with Somalia.
In a statement, Kenya’s Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) said the gunmen stormed the camp, opening fire on the officers.
Six people were killed in the attack, and “we believe the assailants are members of the al-Shabaab terror network,” ATPU said.
Authorities say security operations have been intensified in the region to track down the attackers….

The more I read about all these violent barbaric attacks in Africa, the more convinced I become that the victims aren’t protecting themselves. They should know better. Christianity doesn’t forbid self-defense. The Roman Catholic orthodoxy actually even permits defensive warfare. To be sure: this doesn’t excuse the perpetrators, but hey, let’s face it: if you don’t stand up for yourself and your belofed ones, you’re not worth a sh**.

Of course that should be ‘beloved ones’. Typo!

I guess that this is the muslims’ version of “defund the police” in Kenya.

It’s pretty pathetic hen a police camp can’t protect itself and isn’t prepared for an attack when located “near the Somalia border”. Typical African brilliance once again!
