Border trade from Somalia cut as red alert raised
Cross-border trade from Somalia has been blocked as Kenyan military tightens its grip on the northern frontier. Security forces in North Eastern Province have been put on high alert to counter possible attacks from Somali militia.
The move has ruined trade at Somalia’s Gedo region whose proceeds help to fuel Al-Shabaab rebellion. All police stations and police posts near the Somali border have been reinforced.
Renewed threat
Police checks on roads have also been increased amid renewed Al-Shabaab’s threats to annex North Eastern Province if Kenya dares sending troops to Somalia.
Police sources said they were put on alert following worsening Somalia crisis over the past few weeks.
“We are carrying out strict security measures as we are on the alert following what is going on in Somalia,” Wajir police boss Julius Kitili said on Thursday.
Meanwhile, many Somali refugees are said to fleeing into Kenya. According to the UNHCR, an estimated 200 refugees fleeing the raging conflict in Mogadishu have been crossing into Kenya daily.

It's time to end this Somalia nonsense once and for all. We are not Americans...if they want to fight, let them stand up and do so. They will live to regret it! We don't have Aid to give you but we will drive sense into your stubborn skulls!!

if one out of two hundred refugee entering kenya daily is a terrorist, then every ten days kenya is wellcoming 10 terrorists whose choice of attack is chilling. Kenya is not capable of handling suicide bombers, The world must arise, forget Afghanistan Somalia is now the training camp for the most evil terrorists, remember many of this scumbags think Kenya is another USA state because of Obama.
