NAIROBI,
Kenya — The Kenyan government revealed on Wednesday that its extensive
military foray into Somalia this month to battle Islamist militants was
not simply a response to a wave of recent kidnappings, as previously
claimed, but was actually planned far in advance, part of a covert
strategy to penetrate Somalia and keep the violence in one of Africa`s
most anarchic countries from spilling into one of Africa`s most stable.

For several years, the American-backed Kenyan military has been secretly arming and training clan-based militias inside Somalia to safeguard Kenya`s borders and economic interests, especially a huge port to be built just 60 miles south of Somalia.

But now many diplomats, analysts and Kenyans fear that the country, by essentially invading southern Somalia,
has bitten off far more than it can chew, opening itself up to
terrorist reprisals and impeding the stressed relief efforts to save
hundreds of thousands of starving Somalis.

Somalia has been a thorn in Kenya`s side ever since Kenya became independent in 1963. Somalia has become synonymous with famine, war and anarchy, while Kenya has become one of America`s closest African allies, a bastion of stability and a favorite of tourists worldwide.

Kenyan
officials said it was becoming impossible to coexist with a failed
state next door. They consider the Shabab, a ruthless militant group
that controls much of southern Somalia, a “clear and present danger,” responsible for piracy, militant attacks and cross-border raids.

When Kenya
sent troops storming across Somalia`s border on Oct. 16, government
officials initially said that they were chasing kidnappers who had
recently abducted four Westerners inside Kenya, two from beachside bungalows, and that Kenya had to defend its tourism industry.

But
on Wednesday, Alfred Mutua, the Kenyan government`s chief spokesman,
revised this rationale, saying the kidnappings were more of a “good
launchpad.”

“An operation of this magnitude is not planned in a week,” Mr. Mutua said. “It`s been in the pipeline for a while.”

Many analysts wonder how Kenya will be able to stabilize Somalia when the United Nations, the United States, Ethiopia
and the African Union have all intervened before, with little success.
They argue that the Kenyan operation seems uncoordinated and poorly
planned, with hundreds of troops bogged down in the mud during seasonal
rains.

Kenyan military officials also publicly said the United States and France
were helping them, but both countries quickly distanced themselves from
the operation, insisting that they were not taking part in the combat.

“The invasion was a serious miscalculation, and the Kenyan economy is going to suffer badly,” said David M. Anderson, a Kenya specialist at Oxford.

The Shabab, who have pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda, have killed hundreds in suicide attacks in Somalia and are now vowing to punish Kenya, much as they struck Uganda last year for sending peacekeepers.

There have already been two grenade attacks in Nairobi,
which Kenyan officials said were the work of Shabab members, and this
usually laid-back capital city has shifted into war mode. Security
guards peer into purses at supermarkets, shopping centers are deserted
because many Kenyans are now scared to congregate in public, and the
American government has warned of “an imminent threat of terrorist
attacks” at malls and nightclubs.

Despite
their close relationship with Kenyan security services, which receive
millions of dollars in American aid each year, American officials said
they had been caught off guard by the incursion.

“The United States did not encourage the Kenyan government to act, nor did Kenya seek our views,” said Katya Thomas, a spokeswoman at the American Embassy in Nairobi. “We note that Kenya has a right to defend itself.”

Pentagon
officials are now watching cautiously. “This is not something that`s
coordinated with us at all, so it`s not something we have much knowledge
about,” a senior Pentagon official. “We want to see how this develops.”

Pentagon
officials said the immediate impact of dispersing Shabab fighters was
good. But without knowing much about the overall Kenyan strategy or
long-term plan, they are a bit wary.

“It`s difficult to discern what`s the next step,” the official said.

Kenyan
officials say the next step is marching to Kismayu, a port town
controlled by the Shabab, who derive tens of millions of dollars a year
in taxes from it.

But
Lazarus Sumbeiywo, a former leader of Kenya`s army, said the Kenyans
were erring tactically. “It should have been surgical strikes,” Mr.
Sumbeiywo said, arguing for small teams of special forces to hunt down
militants and eliminate them quietly.

In
1990, before he became chief of staff, Mr. Sumbeiywo said, he ran
special operations to kill Somali gunmen who had infiltrated Kenya. He said that his men had worked in small units and that Kenya had been bedeviled by Somalia
for decades. “It was like that all the way from the beginning,” he
said, describing how Kenyan forces fought Somali militants in the 1960s
and 1970s, losing hundreds of men.

Kenya has tried to use proxy militias in Somalia
to push out the Shabab and create a buffer zone stretching to Kismayu.
But the militias have been struggling, and Kenyan officials said their
plans for a major port in Lamu, near Somalia`s border, were imperiled by
the instability pouring out of southern Somalia.

“This
isn`t about tourism,” said a senior Kenyan official, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity. “This is about our long-term development plan. Kenya cannot achieve economically what it wants with the situation the way it is in Somalia, especially Kismayu.”

“Just imagine you`re trying to swim,” he added. “If someone is holding your leg and your arm, how far can you swim?”

Somali
officials, despite being enemies of the Shabab, have been furious about
the Kenyan incursion. Somalia`s president, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed,
called it an “inappropriate” encroachment on Somali sovereignty

The
dispute has left Western diplomats to mediate between the two sides,
but Mr. Mutua said that “a lot has been lost in translation” and that
the Kenyans and the Somalis were still close.

Still,
aid organizations are deeply concerned that the military operations
will affect efforts to reach starving people in Somalia`s
famine-stricken interior. The United Nations has said that tens of
thousands of Somalis have died and that 750,000 could starve to death.
The Shabab control many of the hardest-hit areas, and have blocked most
Western aid groups from entering.

“Some
of the drought-affected people who arrived from other parts of the
country are now facing multiple displacements in the wake of the
military activities,” a United Nations report said Wednesday. “Movement
of humanitarian personnel and supplies are also likely to be restricted,
subsequently affecting the timely delivery of assistance to populations
in need.”

Todobaadkii tagay ayaan qoray qormo magaceedu ahaa: “Dhalanrogga Carabta”, ujeedkuna ahaa iftiiminta dhibaatada Carab xaggeeda nooga timid, waa caadadeennee markii Carab carrabka lagu dhuftu ninbaa burura!, maqaal ayaa la iigu jawaabay, ujeedkiisa lagu saleeyey Carab nacayb!, caado ahaan, marka dhaqan xumada Yuhuudda ama qaladaadkooda la sheego, ayey ku gambadaan Yuhuud nacayb “Anti-Semitism”, sidaa si la mid ah, marka la tilmaamo waxyeellada Carabtu ku hayso Soomaalida, waxaa la adeegsadaa hubka Carab nacaybka.

Ujeedka qormadu ma ahan naqdin iyo ka dabaqaadasho, maahmaah ayaa oranaysa: “WAXAA JIRTA GAR AAD NAQAYSO  KUGUSE NAQSAN”, Anigu iska hadli maayo, waxaan soo bandhigayaa caddaymo iyo dhacdooyin aan cidna qarin karin, “Calaacali Qorrax ma qarin karto”ee ninkii Carab difaacayow burhaantaada la imaaw, midna waa ceeb iyo gef aqooneed, in la isku qaldo dhaqanxumada Carabta iyo Luqadda Carabiga, sida uu adeegsaday ninkii maqaalka iga daba qaray.

Abaarihii ka dhacay wadanka ee saameeyey beer bar xoolaad iyo banii’aadamkaba, waxaa dunidu uga jawaabtay siyaabo kala duwan, afgobaadsi hadal macaan iyo haasaawo, ku ekaa afka iyo bishamaha dacalkooda, waxaa ugu horreeya kuwaa: Qaramada midoobay Maraykanka iyo Yurub, oo aan marnaba deeq la sheego ama la shaahido midna goobta keenin, waxaadba mooddaa inay isla meeldhigeen Alshabaab.

Dawldaha qaarna gayiga waxay ku yimaadeen gabigood oo aan cidna ka maqnayn, tusaaluhu waa cad yahay, Muqdisho waxaa yimid madaxa ugu sarreeya xukuumadda Turkiga mudane Erdogan, ayna wehliyeen dhaqaatiir ganacsato iyo saraakiil sare oo ka tirsan xukuumaddiisa, booqdayna xeryaha qaxootiga, Isagoo sheegay in baaxadda dhibaatadu ka weyn tahay middii Darfur, ayaan darro Darfur madaxda dunida dhan wey tageen, balse Soomaaliya cidna ma imaan, fasir ayey u baahan tahay.

Turkigu wuxuu ku deeqay macaawino mug leh, dhaqaatiir u heegan baxnaaninta bukaanka baahan, ballanna qaaday dayactirka waddooyinka iyo xarumaha dawladda, ayna billaabeen hawlgalkeeda, macaawino sooreed kaliya kuma deeqin Turkigu, ee waxaan ka maqnayn deeqo waxbarasho iyo tacliimeed, ayaan darrase dhasha Carbeed falkay u gaysteen ardadii waxbarshada u socdaali lahayd waa loo wada joogay, qaraxaa oo lagu macnayn karo inuuba ku wajahnaa dawladda Turkiga, ahaana farriin siyaasadeed, ujeedkeedu ahaa inuusan Soomaaliya ku soo degdegin.

Sax, balse cirbadi bad maxay ka qoyn, baaxadda dhibaatada ma dabooli karaan labadaan dal? Teeda kale miyey wakiil ka yihiin Carab? Mise magacooda ayey ku socdeen?.

Waxaa xusid mudan dawladda Iran, ayaan darraduse waa markaan dul istaagay maqaal ku soo baxay mareegta Alshahid, ee qoraagu ku leeyahay waa in la iska jiraa dawladda Iran, maxaa yeelay waxay faafinee mabda’ Shiiciga, walaalayaalow waaba su’aale: nin baahan maxay u kala dhaamaan Sunno iyo Shiico? Wuxuu dalab u diray qoraagu dalwadaha Sunniga ee waaweyn inay ka hortagaan arintaas, Su’aal kale: keebaa qatar ah: naf qurbaxaysa mise naf Shiici nqonaysa?

Aan u laabto waxqabadka Turkiga, waxay qaadday ardadii dhaawucu ka soo gaaray qarixii halaagga ahaa, ee sidaan tilmaamnay loola dan lahaa Iyaga, tallaabadan oo noqonaysa geesinimo weyn, maadaama aysan saamayn ku yeelan dhacdadaa, dhanka siyaasadeed wali waxaa socda dadaalkii ay ku doonaysay in la keeno Soomaaliya ciidamo ka socda ama u badan wadamada Muslinka, si loogu badalo ciidanka Afrikaanka ah ee UNISOM, dawladda Soomaaliya maxayse kaga jawaabtay qorshaha dawladda Turkiga?

Dawladda Soomaaliya ma soo dhaweyn qorshaha Turkigu wado, waxayba ku dhaqaaqeen falal liddi ku ah ama loo qaadan karo inay fashilnayo qorshahaas, waxay ka mid noqdeen dawladihii ka dareeray khudbadda madaxweyne Njad, uu ka jeedinayey jamciyadda qurumaha ka dhexeysa, waaba su’aale ma Yurub iyo Maraykan ayaa la yiraa? Mise wakiil ayey ka yihiin? Teeda kale Iran waxayba ku jirtay dawladaha gargaarka Soomaaliya safka hore uga jiree, ma xaqbaa in madasha looga koco? Ama loogu abaal gudo sidaan?!

Haddii Turki sidaa noogu soo gurmaday, Carab maxaan ka guddoonnay? Ugu horrayn waxaan ku dhex jirnaa sabanka xerta Carabta, macnaheedu ma ahan in dhibaatada Soomaali soo billaabatay 2006-dii, sida dad badan qiil dhaliileed ka dhigaan, marka Carab iyo dhasheeda la muujiyo waxa ay Soomaali ku hayaan, sida ninka maqaalka iga daba qoray uu qeexay, marka laga reebo labada dal ee aan horay u tilmaamay ee Qatar iyo Kuwait, inta kale Carab waxba nagama soo gaarin.

Ninkii Soomaali ah ee Carab isu arka ama isu aaminsan Isaga yeelkadiiye, inta Soomaalinimadu la weyn tahay kuna weyn tahay yaan la sillayn? Yuusan mawduuca ila galin Carabnimada Soomaalida ee uu naga deeqay Abwaan Yamam Allaha u naxariiste:

Deeqdii hore ee carabta waxay ahayd walaalka dil Jannaad galaysaa, tan xilligan abaartana waxay noqotay, dalka macaawico lama keeni karo, asalna uu ahaa walaalka qarxi Jannaad galaysaa, maya waxayba ku dhaqaaqeen inay inta dawladda garab maraan Alshabaab raashin u gudbiyaan, sida ay sheegeen sirdoonka dawladdu, shakhsiyaadkii u geeyey raashinka Alshabaab waxay ka soo dageen garoonka Aadan cadde, waxay huwanayeen magac hay’ada Carbeed, waxaan sheegayey ma soo bexeen horta? Gaar ahaan qormadii todobaadkii hore aan ku caddeeyey.

Laba shay carab nagama qabtaan, waa mide in dhalinyaradii ay sun diimeed u meersheen, Anagoo qaatir ka taagan qaraxooda iyo qorigooda, inay noogu daraan inay magac hay’ad Islaami ah haddana horteenna ugu gargaaraan, waxaan filayaa in kuwii ka dambeeyey falkaa cadaaladda la hor keeno, hay’addii fulisayna tallaabo sharciga waafaqsan la marsiiyo, kuwa caynkaa ahna laga mamnuuco wadanka gudihiisa, si weynna looga foojignaado hay’adaha magaca diinta ku yimaada, maxaa yeelay diintoodu waa dabargoynta dadkeenna.

Gabagabadii, Maahmaah ayaa dhahaysa: “LIBAAX NIN GANAY IYO GALLADAY KALA OG”, haddaba Soomaali u kala soocan ninkii gargaaray iyo ninkii gumaaday, waxaanse dhihi kuwa Carabta u heellan, in taariikhdu dhigmayso, wadankuna burburkan uusan ku sii jireyn, ee maad sida isu dhaantaan, maalin walba diini gabbaad idiin noqon mayso, dadku wuu gartay inaan diini meesha oollin.



F.G: Qormadu waxay ahayd inay soo baxdo maalintii dhulgariirku ku dhuftay wadanka Turkiga, dib waxaan ugu dhigay inaan la wadaago dhibaatada baaxadda leh ee ku habsatay, aanna filayo inay Soomaali badan ila wadaagaan dareenkaa.

Reporting from Nairobi, Kenya—The commander of Kenya’s defense forces declared Saturday that his troops would remain in neighboring Somalia until the threat from the militant Islamist militia Shabab is eliminated and Kenyans feel safe.
Given the messiness of other countries’ incursions in Somalia, the vow by defense forces chief Gen. Julius Karangi suggests that Kenya’s first military adventure since independence nearly half a century ago could be a long one.
In 1992, U.S.-led forces launched Operation Restore Hope, which led to the “Black Hawk Down” catastrophe of October 1993, in which 18 U.S. troops were killed and the bodies of some of them dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, the Somali capital.
Ethiopia invaded Somalia in 2006 to defeat the Islamic Courts Union, a religious alliance that had taken power in the country. Ethiopian forces withdrew in 2009, only to see the rapid advance of Shabab, a successor to the ICU. Ethiopia claimed to have achieved its mission, but the situation in Somalia suggested otherwise.
Kenya’s decision to get involved with one of Africa’s most intractable war zones, a failed state that hasn’t had a government for two decades, was a “spur of the moment” one, Karangi said Saturday.
Speaking at a news conference in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, he said the decision was made in early October. Twelve days later, troops were in Somalia, he said.
“Some people mentioned that this entire operation was preplanned, [that] it had been on the table for many, many months and years, and the answer is no. We acted as a country on the spur of the moment,” he said.
Government authority to invade was given Oct. 4, three days after Somali gunmen kidnapped Frenchwoman Marie Dedieu from the Lamu resort archipelago on Kenya’s northern coast. She died in captivity, but the date and details of her death aren’t clear. Kenyan troops entered Somalia on Oct. 16, three days after two Spanish aid workers were kidnapped from a refugee camp in Kenya by Somali gunmen.
The kidnappings, and their repercussions for Kenya’s $730-million tourist industry, have boosted public support for Operation Linda Nchi, which means “protect the nation.”
Karangi said that for Kenyans to feel safe, the Shabab would have to be severely “degraded.”
“This campaign is not time bound. When the Kenya government and the people of this country feel that they are safe enough from the Al Shabab menace, we shall pull back. Key success factors or indicators will be in the form of a highly degraded Al Shabab capacity,” he said.
Karangi said one Kenyan soldier had died in the military action. He did not say how many Kenyan soldiers are involved in the mission, but said the number is “sufficient.”
Kenya’s key aim is to take the town of Kismayu, a deep-water port that is the Shahab’s main base and its key supply point.

Diyaaradaha ee aan duuliyaha lahayn ee loo yaqaan Dronka
Hiran (RBC) Warar uu baahiyay Talafishanka Press TV ayaa sheegaya in diyaarad nooca aan lahayn duuliyaha ay ku burburtay koonfurta Soomaaliya meel ku dhow soohdinta Kenya.
Diyaarada oo ah kuwa laga hago rimuut kontroolka ayaa waxa ay ku soo dhacday deeganka Kala beerka ee ku yaala gabalka ku yaalo Koonfurta iyo bartmaha Soomaaliya Hiiran.
Dad deeganka ayaa sheegay in ay maqleen qarax xoogan ka dibna ay arkeen diyaarad gubaneysa oo soo dhacday.
Goor hore oo sabtidii ahayd ayaa la sheegay ugu yaraan 16-qof in ay ku dhintee halka 19-kalana ay ku dhaawacmeen ka dib markii diyraad Dron ah ay duqeen ka geestay xaafad ku taalo deeganka Kulbiyow ee gobalka Jubada Hoose ee koonfurta Soomaaliya.
Soomaaliya waxa uu ka mid yahay lix wadan oo maraykanka u isticmaalay diyaaradaha aan duuliyaha lahayn , waxa uu  maraykanka horrey ugu isticmaalay diyaaradahaas wadamada Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Iraq, iyo Yemen.
Goobaha uu bartilmaameesanaayo Maraykanka hadda waa goobo Istiraatiiji ah, halkaas oo loo maleenaayo in ay ku dhuumaaleesanayaan Kooxaha xiriirka Al-Qaacida,
Dhawaan ayay ahayd markii jariirada Wanshinton Post ee ka soo baxda dalka Maraykanka ay sheegtay in marayka uu ka sameestay dalka Ethiopia Garoon diyaaradeed oo ay ka soo duulaan tagaan diyaaradaha Dronka.
Dalka ku yaalo Geeska Africa waxa uu hadda noqotay goobta kaliye ee hadda isha lagu hayo gobalka.

Press Release
STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF H. E. JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS ON PUBLICATIONS IN THE MEDIA CONCERNING THE FORMER PRESIDENT¹S ENTITLEMENTS
October 28, 2011
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen of the media.
We have invited you here today to respond to calculated attempts by certain faceless elements within government to denigrate His Excellency Jerry John Rawlings, former President of Ghana on issues concerning his statutory entitlements.
Reports in sections of the media over the past few days have sought to create the impression that President Rawlings is avaricious and demanding entitlementsover and beyond what he is due.
While we do not wish to be drawn into the petty political shenanigans of people who should know better as far as official decency, discretion and confidentiality is concerned, we have no option but to set the records straight as far as aspects of these malicious publications are concerned.
On the matter of the Trasacco building, which has been allocated to His Excellency, we wish to state that the letter informing His Excellency about its allocation was dated August 29, 2011 and delivered to our office on September 22, 2011.
President Rawlings upon being notified of the Trasacco option was emphatic that he was not interested. Though the keys to the building came alongside the letter no representative of His Excellency has reported to the premises and we have not sought the assistance of the Presidency for the premises to be inspected and officially handed over.
President Rawlings believes having lived in a temporary state for almost two years he can wait a while longer for the burnt Ridge residence to be rebuilt and has subsequently asked his legal team to prepare an appropriate response to theletter of August 29, which I repeat was received on September 22.
If there has been a delay to the response it is simply because His Excellency and his aides have been busy travelling on Somalia related issues for the past six weeks. He is currently in China at the invitation of the Chinese government.
Last week President Rawlings delivered an address during the SRC week of the University of Ghana and made reference to the fact that he and his family were being treated with some level of contempt by the government and the party leadership.
President Rawlings was referring to the politics of the NDC. He was unambiguous in his statement and we wonder how anyone can link those comments to the issue of his entitlements.
Indeed over the past few weeks the major complaint that has come from any quartersrelated to the former President has been the call by Youth With Conviction of Principles for the speedy reconstruction of the destroyed Ridge residence due to the unusual long delay in commencing actual works on the site as well asmisinformation to party grassroots members that the building was under construction and almost complete.
The fact that senior officials at the Castle have subsequently released official files on President Rawlings to members of the media, clearly goes to confirm the level of contempt some members of government have for the former President and how far they will go to create the impression that because he is getting his so-called entitlements he has no right to criticize the government.
President Rawlings has been travelling on Somalia related issues since January 2011 following his appointment by the African Union as its High Representative for Somalia in October 2010.
The AU is not well endowed financially and pays for one business-class ticket and two economy class tickets for the High Representative and his entourage irrespective of who they are.
Most of these trips are made on short notice and throughout the flight the delegation works preparing statements and reports, so His Excellency can beprepared upon arrival.
Because of the difficulty in moving between classes in the air we sought audience with the Chief of Staff and requested for a special dispensation towards his Somalia-related trips. The Chief of Staff approved the request and we have since put in individual requests as and when necessary for ticket upgrades for aides travelling with President Rawlings.
Itis truly unfortunate that an impression is being created that the upgrades being made are part of President Rawlings¹ entitlements. They are not. As far as we are concerned President Rawlings is playing a role that does the image of Ghana good and has the potential of resolving the 20-year-old conflict in Somalia. President Rawlings has not sought any assistance for the issuance of ticket upgrades for non-Somalia related trips.
It is important to note that former Presidents who are appointed to such roles are usually supported by their mother countries. Former President Mbeki of South Africa who is also an AU envoy travels usually at the state¹s expense and with a state aircraft complete with elite National Security operatives.
President Rawlings is not in the business of aggressively pursuing his entitlements and a check from government records will indicate that a lot of what he is reportedly entitled to have not been taken advantage of right from the year 2000 when he left office.
If government has received a list of two additional aides it is because we were officially notified that there were two outstanding names to be submitted in the category of aides and we followed procedure by submitting those names. If for any reason government felt it was an anomaly we should have been duly informed.
We will not be intimidated by elements in government who in performing their roles as defined by the state are now trying to create the impression they are doing President Rawlings a favour.
If for some reason President Rawlings¹ constitutionally mandated entitlements are now being held to ransom, then we humbly request the government to withdraw all such courtesies.
Thank you.

Muqdisho (RBC) Raysul wasaaraha DKMG Soomaaliya C/weli Maxamed Cali Gaas iyo wasiirkiisa gaashaandhiga Xuseen Carab Ciise ayaa saaka ku sii jeeda magaalada Nairobi ee wadanka Kenya.
Warar ku dhow xafiiska raysul wasaaraha ayaa u sheegay Raxanreeb in raysul wasaaruhu ay kulamo la soo yeelanayaan masuuliyiinta dalka Kenya, gaar ahaan raysul wasaare Raila Odinga, madaxda ciidamada iyo wasiirada dawlada Kenya.
Wafdigan uu hogaaminayo raysul wasaaraha DKMG ayaa la filayaa inay dawlada Kenya u soo sharaxaan mowqifka DKMG eek u aadan soo gelida ciidamada Kenya ee soo galay dalka. Waxaana sidoo kale laga wada hafli doonaa madmadowga soo kala dexgalay labada dawladood, sida Raxanreeb ay u sheegeen ilo wareedyo ku dhow raysul wasaaraha.
Tan iyo markii uu madaxweynaha DKMG Shariif Sheekh Axmed sheegay in dawlada aysan raali ka ahayn soo gelida ciidamada Kenya, waxaa khilaaf uu ka dhex abuurmay DKMG Soomaaliya iyo Kenya oo iidamadeeda u soo dirtay Soomaaliya ka dib markii falal amni dari ah ay ka dheceen gudaha wadankaasi.
Hase yeeshee raysul wasaare C/weli Gaas ayaan ku raacsanayn mowqifka madaxweyne Shariif, waxaana arintaasi ay dhalisay in madaxweynaha iyo raysul wasaaraha dhexdooda ay arinta ku kala tagaan.
Ma cadda in hadda raysul wasaaruhu u kala dabqaadayo madaxweyne Shariif iyo dawlada Kenya maadaama uu madaxweynuhu diiday soo gelida ciidamada Kenya.
