Al-Shabaab Opting Proxy Wars in Kenya

Kenya internal security experts have fallen to the Al-Shabaab Trap by venturing into a security operation that will end up stoking ethno-religious problems in the area.

A massive intelligence officers operation has been launched in the North Eastern area of Kenya.

In Garissa alone, 80 people of origin X have been arrested

NSIS, GSU, Kenya police have swarmed the area to increase the hunt for Al-Shabaab operatives with most suspects being people from Somali origin suspected to be part of the proscribed militant outfit.

The end result will be religious animosity

Islamic faith followers will feel threatened and insulted since most of those arrested belong to their faith and are innocent.



Regardless of the local Somali citizens and elders hope for tolerance and objectiveness, this will not be taken well by the larger section of the population.


They will feel victimized and isolated for no apparent reason.

Al-Shabaab will take credit for misleading the Kenya Intelligence service and the police to launch a war against non-Christians.

They can easily radicalize youths through such a proxy reason and fan religious problems

Terror cells are operated by a tiny number of operatives who use SIGNIT or signal intelligence to communicate.

Garissa cannot have a terror cell with 80-operatives which is equal to 4-platoons of troops.

The objective of the attackers was to use a proxy war to fan ethno-religious animosity.





Solution was to launch a covert operation away from the eys of the public and media using sleeper agents who would close in on the suspects, then spirit them out of their hideouts.

Kenya internal security system and intelligence have fallen to the trap hook, line and sinker.
