He noted that the ultimate decision to end the crisis in Somalia lay with its own citizens, who must agree to compromise to achieve lasting peace.
Citing the compromise he and president Kibaki had to make to save the country from the post election violence early last year, Mr Odinga noted; “The international community can host meetings at Serena, but ultimately it is upon the people themselves to make compromises.”

Mr. PM pls don't send our soldiers. They will be humiliated. Just monitor the borders and nab and lock the corrupt civil servants issuing national identity cards to foreigners.

We have enough promblems of our own. We can't save our own people from gangs who are operating in all parts of the country killing innocent citizens. why don't we ask somalia for help first, I am sure they will do a better job then our Government. Somalia are doing what they do well. And as long as they are fighting between them we don't have to worry about anything.

Kenya has only one good option. Actually four; a) Build a 100ft high border wall b) make a mile wide concentrated landmine belt to deal with those who disrespect the wall c) declare the air above the border a no-fly zone d) focus on domestic affairs. e) nothing else.
