Forty-eight people, including 11 children, were massacred on Wednesday morning in a fight over water and pasture in Tana River County.
In what is believed to be a revenge attack, the Orma residents of Riketa village, Tarasa division, deep in the swamps of the Tana delta were set upon by raiders thought to be from the Pokomo.
The attack is believed to be in revenge for another one a week ago at a village called Kau, in Kilelengwani, some 10 kilometres from Riketa, in which suspected Orma herdsmen killed three Pokomo villagers, injured six others, killed livestock and burnt homes.
The two ethnic groups have a long history of conflict over access to the waters of Tana River and the fertile lands of the delta.
KENY NA SOMALIA HAKUN TOFAUTI. KZI YAO NI KUUWANA TU
ReplyDeleteKuelekea Shirikisho la Afrika ya Mashariki:
ReplyDeleteHawa jamaa ndugu zetu na majirani zetu mara zote wanakuwa wanajifanya wameendelea na wamestaarabika zaidi ya sisi Tanzania na waTanzania.
Sasa kama wao ni jamii iliyostaarabika kweli wanaweza kuuwana kwa migogoro ya kitoto sana kama hii?
Je, hawana Mahakama na Mabaraza ya Kiukoo, Kimila na Kikabila kutatua migogoro na migongano ya jamii zao?
Kweli kwa dalili hii ya mwenendo wao huu huko tunakokwenda ktk Ushirikiano nao wa Afrika ya Mashariki tiutakuwa salama?
AMA KWELI USTAARABU, KUELIMIKA, MAENDELEO NA MUAMKO HAVINA SHULE NA PIA HUWEZI KUJIGAMBA KWA KUWA NA KIWANGO CHA JUU CHA USTAARABU HUKU UKIWA HUJASTAARABIKA, MWENENDO WAKO NDIO UTAKUWEKA KUJUA UNA KIWANGO GANI CHA USTAARABU, KAMA WAKENYA HAWA!
Can Kenyans boast to be civilized society within EAC?
ReplyDeleteCan nonsense tribal clashes like these still under the sun?
I am in dought as we approach full Federation protocal that we miss a trust, genuine and relevant neighbour like Kenya and Kenyans!
Kenya na Wakenya wanajifanya wamepiga hatua kumbe bado hawajastaarabika kabisa.
ReplyDeleteAngalieni wanajifanya wamesoma wapo juu lakini wanaendesha maisha kama wapo ktk enzi za maisha ya Ujima.
Dalili ni migogoro kama hii!
Wakenya wanawaonea sana Waislamu kule. Maana hicho kijiji ni cha Waislamu. Na baba zao wazungu hawasemi kitu kuhusu haya.
ReplyDeleteSuch similar conflicts has taken place in TZ as well, the difference being between farmers and wamasai, along Kilombero. Not once or twice, rather several times.
ReplyDeleteFighting over Masai cattle destroying farmers produce.
On this we are equally uncivilized.
Wakenya :
ReplyDeleteNa kujifanya kwenu mmeendelea kumbe bado mpo ndani ya zizi la ng'ombe ?
Unajua ukitaka kumjaribu mtu ile personality yake muangalie katika aina ya migogoro anayozalisha ktk jamii yake:
Mtu asiyestaarabika atafanya haya hapa chini,
-Atagombana bila kutafuta suluhu kwa njia za busara.
-Atakunywa pombe akilewa halafu anafanya fujo.
-Atazalisha migogoro na mifarakano isiyo na maana tena bila sababu.
-Atakuwa na lugha chafu dhidi ya wengine kama watu wanavyolalamika na jinsi John Mashaka anavyotoa makala dhidi ya wa Kenya.
Sasa kwa dalili hizo hapo juu wakenya bado hawajastaarabika na hadi sasa wangali wapo ndani ya zizi la ng'ombe !
