THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT GREATER SOMALIA

A lack of both historical and current political understanding regarding Somalis is causing more confusion and harm. 

✔️ In 1962, about 90% of Somalis in the North Eastern region did not want to be part of Kenya. They preferred to secede and join the Republic of Somalia after independence.

✔️ This led to the Shifta War from 1963 to 1967, where they fought because Jomo Kenyatta forced them to remain part of Kenya.

✔️ Most Boranas, Gabras, and Rendiles opposed joining Somalia since they have stronger ties with the Ethiopian tribes.

✔️ All Kenyan Somalis ancestral land is in Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera, which make up the North Eastern region with different clans. 

✔️ Boranas, Gabras, and Rendiles ancestral land is in Upper Eastern or the former Eastern region. They don't speak Somali. 

✔️ Somalis don't identify Boranas as their people and also call them Gurale the same way they call others Nywele ngumus. True.  

✔️ The Somali shifta fighters ambushed and killed DC Daudi Wabera, a Borana, near Merti. Nairobi’s Wabera Street. is named in his honor. He was against secession. 

✔️ There are Ethiopian Somalis Djibouti Somalis and Somalia Somalis which reflects their citizenship rather than tribe or race.

✔️ Therefore, Kenyan Somalis cannot return to Somalia; they are both Kenyan citizens and Kenyan nationals. Ushago kwao ni North Eastern region of Kenya. Sio Somalia. 

✔️ No tribe came to Kenya because there was no Kenya when everyone had already settled. The territories occupied by different tribes became Kenya after mzungus came in 1840s. 

✔️ The North Eastern region accounts for only 22% of Kenya’s total land area. The larger combined Northern Eastern area (including Upper Eastern) makes up 37%, not half or 45%.

✔️ In 2025, the total GDP output of the North Eastern region (Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera) was less than 250 billion Kenyan shillings, indicating a need for significant investment.

✔️ Over the past 13 years of devolution, the North Eastern region has received more than 300 billion Kenyan shillings but still lags behind in development. Bad leadership. 

✔️ Given these hard facts, should Somalis from Kenya’s North Eastern region join Greater Somalia because most people don't seem to be happy with their lack of loyalty to the state? 

✔️ Or, shouldn't the government just identify or differentiate between Kenyan Somalis and Somalia Somalis? The same way it identifies Ugandan Luos, Tanzanian Maasais etc ? 

Polite Remainder ! Somalis in Northern Eastern region didn't want to be part of this Kenya. Your Jomo forced them here. So stop complaining and live with the consequences of your choices. >>>>>>> #$¥€NZ!$@N@

Two police officers sentenced to 40 years in jail for killing suspect in their custody

Two police officers have been sentenced to a combined 40 years in prison after being convicted of killing a suspect inside a police cell in Nyamira County.

According to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the officers were found guilty over the death of Amos Kemosi Kereri, who died on August 19, 2019 after being held at Nyamatoki Police Post.

Police Corporal James Ogwagwa Nyakina received a 30-year sentence, while Police Constable Jackson Kirui Kipngeno was jailed for 10 years.

The court heard that the two officers arrested Kereri during a night patrol, then assaulted him while he was in custody. Prosecutors said the injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital the next morning.

Fourteen witnesses testified during the trial, helping establish that the officers jointly caused the unlawful death of a man who was under their protection.

The ruling adds to growing judicial scrutiny of police brutality and custodial deaths in Kenya.
