There is an increasing likelihood that terrorist networks could take advantage of the prevailing political standoff to revive their cells in the country or launch attacks on the Kenyan soil, security analysts have said.

Mr. Steve Mbogo has claimed that "Of major concern are the Kenyan borders, especially the one shared with Somalia on the eastern side and with Ethiopia active with the Ogaden rebels fighting for political autonomy there but who have also made previous deadly incursions into Kenya."
I have been following very closely events in the Horn of Africa and I had never come across any information about Ogaden rebels making deadly incursions into Kenya, so I would like to ask Mr. Mbogo on what basis does he make such assertions and accuse the Ogadens of mounting deadly incursions into Kenya.It seems that many people think that throwing around the word terrorism well cover their shortcomings and solve their problems. Outsiders or terrorist from neighbouring countries had not killed 600 Kenya citizens. Kenyans face your deamons, do not try to look for scapegoats.
I kindly request the Editor of AllAfrica.com to ask Mr. Mbogo either to substantiate this statement or remove it as it would be tantamount to inciting hatred among the people in the Horn of Africa on non existent lie.
Thanks Laamalooshe, London
Massacring innocent defenseless children & women is a CRIME AGINST HUMANITY. Mr. Mbogo alleges that Somalis from Ogadenia committed "TERRORISM" in Kenya is baseless and fabricated allegation. Six hundred Kenyans were killed by other "pro" Kibaki Kenyans, and not Somalis. Please stop the senseless allegations, and stop the flow of the innocent blood of our Kenyans brothers and sisters. enough is enough............DEMOCRACY NEEDS A CHANCE IN KENYA. I love Kenya, for they sheltered me when I needed a shelter in 1991 after fleeing from Mogadishu, and I always respect Kenyans wherther here in the US or anywhere in the world. Please retrieve those shameful allegations made by Mr. Mbogo. Long live Kenyans and Somalis
The problem we have these days is that every low minded person has to say something he/she does not have any knowledge about it. Such exaple is the Mr. Mr. Steve Mbogo's claim "Of major concern are the Kenyan borders, especially the one shared with Somalia on the eastern side and with Ethiopia active with the Ogaden rebels fighting for political autonomy there but who have also made previous deadly incursions into Kenya."
As an Ogadenian, who has been through a lot of hardship and confilicts because of the the Trany regime of Melez Zenawi who is famouse of terorizing Ethiopian and East African people, it is too sad to see that Mbogo just say that.
Because as I and alot of people in East African know, Kenya was/is the best east African and the most stable country in the region, and anybody who got any sense would be sad to see Kenya to have any unstabality, and I love Kenya's people from my heart, and I hope all these miss understanding between them could end in a good way.
And to you Mbogo, I don't know what you are talking about because of your baseless information, and it is better for you if you want to write something, right something that is close to the reality, such as Melez Zenawi and his TPLF soldiers destroying Eas African people and Land.
I hope you got close to the truth because it is the people like you who is the cause of the destruction and insecurity in East Africa, and I am really ashamed that you are from there.
