Concerned citizens raise their voice following discovery of mass shallow graves in Mandera

By Nepjournal team:
Seven months after shallow mass graves were discovered in Lanbib area of Wajir County, a similar discovery was made yesterday in Mandera.
Among the bodies recovered was the one of Isnina Mohamed, a mother of two who was abducted on December 3, 2015 from her tea kiosk in Mandera town.
Condemnation for the extra judicial killings have been pouring in ever since with people from all walks of life calling for an immediate end to the heinous acts.
On twitter, several hashtags are currently trending including #
EnforcedDisappearancesKE, #
StopKillingSomalis.
Many argue such killings foster the very radicalization and violent extremism that Kenya is purporting to fight.
In the so called fight against radicalization, more have been radicalized as a result. #StopKillingSomalis

There are feelings of blanket condemnation and target.
This is not a war on terror, it’s war against humankind. War against a community. #StopKillingSomalis — Ahmed Mohamed™ (@asmali77)

And what did the police say about the whole incident?
Inspector General @JBoinnet denies there’s a mass grave in Mandera, admits to the discovery of a woman’s body. #StopKillingSomalis

Is this a government policy?
@MohaJichoPevu @HonAdenDuale I totally agree. I have no doubt that is the official policy of the jubilee govt to kill extrajudicially

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
