BREAKING NEWS...THE WORLD IS UNDER ATTACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunt for child killers in Kenya

Source: BBC
July 13, 2005

President Mwai Kibaki has appealed for calm as he vowed that police would hunt down the perpetrators of a massacre in a north-east Kenyan village.

Hundreds of armed men surrounded a primary school and nearby houses and opened fire as children were making their way to school early on Tuesday.

Police say 45 people died in the revenge attack by the raiders feuding over water and pastures.

One mother watched as gunmen killed her two children and beheaded her husband.

"I appeal for calm as the government embarks on a security operation to track down the perpetrators of the attack," Mr Kibaki said.

Most of those killed were women and children and 14 of the children killed were under 10 years old, the police said

Tuesday's raid in Turbi village - populated by the Gabra clan - is blamed on the rival Borana from Ethiopia. The two groups have feuded over water and pasture in the semi-arid region.

Cross-border raids for livestock are common in the area but correspondents say this is one of the most deadly such attacks in Kenya's history.

Ten Borana were killed in a revenge attack.

Deaths

Superintendent Jasper Ombati told the BBC's Focus on Africa that the raiders were being pursued near the Kenya-Ethiopia border but refused to confirm that they came from Ethiopia saying this was being investigated.


"We have got a substantial number of security forces in the area," he said, "but the area is quite rugged and you have to go on foot."

Bodies have been left on the streets where they were killed.

Former Kenyan Foreign Minister Bonaya Godana, who toured the scene of the attack, told the AFP news agency that many of the victims were shot dead while getting ready to go to school.

"The situation is very sad on the ground, everybody is mourning the dead," he told AFP.

He said that among those dead were 22 schoolchildren. "Most of them died in their school uniforms."

Many of the most seriously injured have been taken to Marsabit district hospital.

Survivors

Grandmother Darare Bathacha told Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper that she had survived by crawling under a bed as the killers murdered her son, Ukur Boru, 40, his wife, Kabane Ukur and their nursery school age son.

Another survivor Okille Hukha, 46, ran into the bush but his wife and four children were all killed.

Galgalo Hukka, 28, told the newspaper that he fled from Turbi when the raiders struck at about 0600 local time "killing indiscriminately and looting household property and livestock".

"They caused havoc until 12pm and even when we left the town at 1pm, they had only retreated to some 800 metres away from the town.

"They were armed with rifles, hand grenades, machetes and spears," he said.

Revenge

James Galgalo of the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission in Marsabit, the nearest town to Turbi said he believed the raiders were seeking revenge for earlier attacks.

"There have been clashes all around here in the past three months between the Gabra and Borana," he told the BBC.

"They are massacring people - from what we saw they used a lot of spears and knives."

Kenya's media say dozens have been killed in clashes between the two ethnic groups this year.

I, myself is a product of a fifteen years old civil war in Somalia, I had to reminisce on my experiences with death and destruction. Ever since the civil war erupted in Somalia, life went from tough to rough. The civil war has torn apart the very foundation of the Somali society, destroying homes, health systems, and schools while leaving behind trouble and trauma. I have witnessed it as it took all my childhood hopes and dreams down the drain. There are all kinds of conflicts going on in many developing countries of the world. Some of the wars in Africa are caused by border disputes. For example, the colonists placed a border with in Somali land, putting a whole Somali community under Ethiopian rule and another border on the south, handing over a whole Somali region to Kenya, a country we do not share the same identity and culture. This later sparked a constant dispute and violence between Somalia and its neighbors. Of course, poverty, corruption and misunderstanding are also part of the problem.
But this motherphuckers (Boran and Garra) are so backward that they still fighting over water and pasture -when rest of humans made progress this two tribes didn't evolved one bit. fighting over water in this 21 century?

-ooh! sometimes deep thoughts like this come into my mind! I don't why? Laughing

The heck you think they fighting over in Israel? It's definately one reason. Water and access to it will spark a massacre. Oil will too (Iraq). Things havent changed much in the last 2,000 years.
