Blaming the Garre community for things that has been done by foreigner is not journalistic and it is biased in its nature and absolutely false. The accusation made by Mr. AbdulKadir is a bold face lie that is used to legitimize the invasion of Garre land by the roving Degodia bands. There has never been the existence of Garre Militia, there is a talk of Garre being trained by Somali TFG that is all meant to confuse the population. Mr. Abdulkadir defeated the Garre candidate fairly and not a single Degodia was killed, intimidated or even assaulted but now that he knows he will be defeated by the Garre for they are slightly organized they want to create animosity.
Abdulkadir should accept the eventuality of the upcoming election. He should not cause chaos by fomenting attacks against Garre people. Yesterday he was in RAMO when he supervised the Killings of Garre elders and religious leaders in Ramo. He left the town immediately after the chaos and he made sure Garre were killed. His informal talks with reporters is a complete sham, he even invited a murderous Keynan, a man who is know for killing his business partners and his foes by hiring thugs to do his dirty work. The Kenya government must stop this two instigators from creating problems, all those Garre who have been trained by TFG are fighting terrorist on their countries behalf and are not embroiled in Killing of innocent settlers in their ancestral land. Degodia really should be more grateful to Garre in their hospitality and should cease their hostilities towards innocent Garre people. The government should arrest Mr. Abdulkadir for instigating election violence. Garre will defend themselves if the Degodias keep their intolerable election driven attacks against good Kenyans the Garre. Mr. Keynan and Abdulkadir should enlightened us where the Weapons used by hired guns came from, the weapons that was used to kill Six Muslims in Ramo town during his presence and supervision. The government should inquire and investigate what every one in Ramo knew that Mr. Abdulkadir was supervising the Killings of the IMAM and the Muadhin of Ramo. when he flew out of Keynan district headquarters the day of the killing and they holding of a phony press conference that were mostly an accusatory of Garre people without any evidence. He should be ashamed of himself
