Spot on! anyone condemning the swoops is just being ridiculous... where else did they expect the police to go smoke out the illegal immigrants of somali origin? in nyahururu or kapenguria?
When the same security body was smoking out mungiki, did they hear them do it in Mandera or kisumu central? Its just logical to target where the problem is.....
Kwani, if your car cant start, do you check for the problem in the boot or do you go to the bonnet?
@anfield
I have muslim friends and its sad this is happening but you wouldnt expect the police to know who is kenyan and who is not just by looking at their faces (here am talking of kenyan somalis and somali somalis)... thye have to do the swoop... you agree that it is the "muslim - and they looked like somalis" (i dont know if kenyan or somalians) that were demonstrating and not the christian luos or kalenjins on friday... so where on earth do you expect the government to get to the root of this if they dont do the swoop and of course in the place they are likely to get these people? As @njunge said, the swoops are all over the country, but right now, we have a major problem with the somalis coming into kenya so that is more urgent than trying to dig out a peaceful ugandan at some other corner... and that doesnt mean he wont be through out too... but we deal with emergencies first.
And dont give us the crap of "extremists".... you got to deal with it... we dint see no extremists when the mungiki swoops were being done, and neither when matekwans of Mt. elgon... so why expect the muslims to be treated any different.. give us a break!
