Somalis in Kenya bring out you're machetes this shit is getting serious Rioters attack ethnic Somalis in Kenyan capital By Richard Lough | Reuters – 25 mins ago Reuters/Reuters - An ethnic Somali man chases a man from a rival group with a machete during the second day of skirmishes in the Eastleigh neighbourhood of Kenya's capital Nairobi, November 19, 2012. Police …more NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan police fired tear gas to disperse rioters who attacked ethnic Somalis in the Nairobi district known as "Little Mogadishu" on Monday, hurling rocks and smashing windows after a weekend bomb attack there killed nine people. The violence coincided with the start of voter registration for a general election in March, adding to security concerns ahead of the first national polls since 2007 when a dispute over the results fuelled ethnic slaughter that killed more than 1,200 people and forced some 300,000 from their homes. Angry mobs broke into Somali homes and shops in anger at Sunday's attack on a minibus which killed at least nine people in Nairobi's Eastleigh district which is dominated by Somali Kenyans and their ethnic kin who have fled fighting in Somalia. Ethnic Somalis, some armed with machetes, fought back and hurled rocks at their attackers who responded with sling shots and stones. Paramilitary police fired volleys of teargas to prise the battling factions apart. "We are trying to create a buffer zone so that people cannot cross over," Nairobi regional police commander Moses Ombati told reporters, pointing to a road that he said formed a rough boundary between the two communities. "These people are neighbors and business partners who need each other, so I don't think it will last long," he said. Gangs of looters ran amok as the security forces fought to quell the violence. One Somali trader, who gave her name only as Hamdi for fear of reprisal attacks, said she was worried the unrest would spread throughout Eastleigh's rundown estates. "I condemn anyone who carried out this heinous act," she said, referring to Sunday's bomb attack. "It's affecting many innocent civilians and is causing the Somali community to be targeted." Authorities have blamed Somali militants and their sympathizers for grenade and gun attacks in Kenya since Nairobi sent soldiers into neighboring Somalia last year to drive out al-Shabaab rebels, an Islamist group with links to al Qaeda. Attacks have intensified since Kenyan forces, fighting under an African Union banner, and Somali government troops routed al Shabaab from their last major urban bastion, the Somali port of Kismayu last month and forced the rebels to flee. Two Kenyan soldiers were shot dead in the eastern town of Garissa, which is a rear base for Kenya troops fighting in Somalia as part of the regional African Union force. "THEY SHOULD JUST CHILL" In the Eastleigh district of the capital Nairobi, crowds poured through the streets chanting "Somalis must go!", hurling rocks and smashing windows of some Somali apartment blocks. Rioters jeered police who fired warnings shots in the air, demanding the government improve security in a district that has borne the brunt of the grenade and gun attacks. Streets in Eastleigh, a congested residential and business area, were strewn with rocks and shattered glass. Shops shuttered their windows and most business were closed in what is one of Nairobi's busiest trading centers. People stood on rooftops while some ethnic Somalis gestured for assistance through their windows. "These Somalis are getting used to this. Every day there is a grenade attack," said Evans, a non-Somali resident of the area wearing sandals and a dirty t-shirt with a print of Che Guevara. Children in school uniform and their parents ran from school after being trapped in the unrest. Others ran with hands in air as police began arresting suspects. At least a dozen Kenyan men lay face down in one truck. Local businessman Godfrey Biketi who supplies meat to Eastleigh, urged his fellow Kenyans to be calm. "They should just chill. They're our neighbors," he said of the Somalis. "Even our country is fighting a war in Somalia. Now our country is becoming like theirs, it's not cool," he said. The Muslim Human Rights Forum said that even if the suspects responsible for Sunday's bombing were proven to be Somalis, it did not mean the whole community was involved. "The xenophobic attacks must be stopped at all costs lest they escalate to unmanageable mayhem at grave costs to the nation," the group's chairman Al-Amin Kimathi said.

Oba Maybe because they see injustice maybe because they see the so called free world Europe and America taking sides in this conflict. And keep in mind most of these youth live in western countries. On Somalia what do they actually know about Somalia's conflict they know its based on clan, based on distrust between the various Somali entities and leaderships. How on mothers earth do you think they can talk and help Somalia when Somalis themselves are in an internal predicament.

Action reaction that's how it works i am not saying its the best solution but its been happening for the past six decades.

Oday wish for what i am just saying Puntland doesn't consider khatumites or its territory part of Puntland.

Hamas are like Al shabaab Maybe because Israel Killed the Military leader of Hamas you cant expect to have peace and at the same time assassinating people. It doesn't work like that.

A secessionist should not be telling other secessionist they are wrong to want to the same thing they want. There's no logic there at all. Come on!! I am not a secessionist saaxib i am dissolving a union. On the Kurdish issue i think its better if they just let turkey be turkey , the same way iraqi Kurds have found themselves in the political culture of Iraq and they have their fair share of the resources of their country. Something Sadam Hussein kept from them for decades.

Who is the enemy marka? Hate is a big word what can Arabs do Oba they were under European colonialism themselves.I am sure there is another reason why u dislike them Arab is a collective identity i don't like Egyptian Arabs but i like Moroccon Arabs or Omani Arabs or Iraqi Arabs or Palestinian Arabs.

The problem with the Israel Palestinian conflict is a conflict of two extremes on one hand you have the Hamas a political entity with a military wing who refuse till the day of today to recognize Israels right to exist. And on the other hand we have Israelis rightwing party likud benjamin netanyahu's party they refuse to negotiate a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders and they refuse to stop building new Jewish settlement on Palestinian territory in the west bank and then we have the Jerusalem dispute.

They should stay quiet on issues such as these. Kurds want to dismember beautiful turkey, turkey has the right to defend their country from aggressors.

Simply it means Puntland still doesn't consider those regions part of their entity because they wont defend it. The professor and others should have just been a bystanding factor with no relevance.

Whats wrong with supporting the Palestinians against the Israelis as a Muslim as a member of the Arab world one can only support. The Palestinians are being oppressed by a world power, what is the excuse of the Somalis.

Protecting ur land doesnt depend on the admin its true pl doesnt consider those regions part of pl maybe just on paper.

Apophis puntland is not interested in those regions it will never defend it. They dont support a seperate entity of khatumo either. As for the professor he is right everything needs a political solution.

Xeerka madaxweynayasha jubbaland igad ba dhigtay:D

The game is not over until the fat lady sings we yet have to see how the President and the committee of Jubbaland state builders come to an agreement.

There will only be 3 parties so people will be forced to make alliances so that's good In the 50s they had 3 parties SNL USP and NUF. So next month they will have 3 parties.

Ballotboxka ino soo badiyaa wa ariin fiican its people who want to participate in the votes its a good thing.

I think federal government officials of Somalia are trying to convince Ethiopians that ONLF is finding a safe heaven in Kismayo.

Apophis were are you're fine belligerent skills something the bantus lack that's what Oba is saying where is the skinny warrior inside of you.

Oba hilloowlow if you had an actual army we could take the Somali bravado serious.
