Kenia

[Schneemann]

Das Thema von wegen der Unkontrollierbarkeit der dünn besiedelten Grenzregion zwischen Kenia und Somalia und die Möglichkeit, dass über diese "grüne Grenze" möglicherweise Islamisten und/oder kriminelle Gruppierungen nach Kenia einsickern könnten, war schon nach dem Mall-Anschlag einmal ein Thema. Ich mutmaßte auch schon mal, dass es der Beginn eines größer werden Terrorproblems sein könnte.

Kenya police in deadly ambush near Somalia border

Gunmen kill eight Kenyans, including five policemen, after ambushing a police patrol near the border with Somalia, police say. Several people were also wounded in the attack close to the north-eastern town of Liboi, police added.

Liboi is used by Kenya to send supplies to its troops fighting the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group in Somalia as part of an African Union (AU) force. There are regular attacks along the border from bandits and militants. It is not clear who carried out the attack. [...] "Five [policemen] were killed on the spot when they were ambushed out on patrol, and we are told many bullets were fired on their vehicle," an officer told AFP. "Three civilians were also killed in the attack."
