demanding president omar al bashir resignation. those are the headlines join me here for more news after inside story. security in the spotlight again in kenya after al shabab fighters attacked a hotel complex in nairobi can these assaults be prevented and what's the message the armed group is trying to send this is a story. hello

and welcome to the program i'm dead in. kenya security with attacks targeting civilians and members if its military its latest assault is raising questions about the country's ability to keep people safe dozens of people were killed on tuesday when five gunmen attacked a hotel complex in nairobi the group has been fighting kenyan and regional african troops and it's home base of somalia will bring in our guests in a moment but first this update on the how mother though in nairobi. details are now getting really tucked up was cut it here in this complex behind beautiful tomb drive by al-shabaab just last tuesday. there were five touches on that it took them up to ten months to plan the whole push. as well say to be frequent visitors to the compound up in the middle synvisc for them inside and also having coffee they are

while they plan to see how they will be cutting out the uk talk and in a departure from pasta tots like the one the top and he can and paying up close to the security forces for the whole rescue a petition on how it was cut it out the number of people who were rescued was far greater than pasta a toxin such as the one that's happened here but also how swift they walked in on the reacting but also and the the whole all partition. is saying that they cut out the talk here because it was in retaliation for bill thompson the coalition of jerusalem that couple of israel something many people here say that would have been more pool simple to say. it will sort of tell the issue for a tox against them by boat on u.s. forces but also the somali special forces twain by the united states and also being given logistical and support by the u.s.

ministry of course the group is up against the proof to the world at the moment that they are on the receiving end and losing ground very fast is somalia the best deal of force to be reckoned with and such a tux would come in really hunting for them to prove that this kind of steel a tuck and much damage possible muhammad i don't feel inside story. let's take a closer look at al shabaab which was formed in two thousand and six after a brief civil war in somalia. took control of vast areas in two thousand and nine including the capital mogadishu and major ports in twenty eleven an offensive by twenty two thousand ethiopian and african union troops pushed out fighters from mogadishu and a year later military action forced the armed group to leave the vital port city of my o. but by twenty eight teen had lost substantial territory yet it still poses a security threat it's now the targets kenya for sending troops into somalia in two

thousand and twelve that was in response to a series of abductions of western tourists and aid workers in parts of kenya near the somali border in twenty thirteen attacked the westgate mall in nairobi sixty seven people were killed two years later one hundred forty eight people died in an attack at a university in garrison in eastern kenya and in twenty sixteen the armed group struck a kenyan military base in somalia killing at least one hundred soldiers. let's bring in our panel in nairobi we have security analyst list if i use a folly in oslo we have figured the hanson he is the author of the forthcoming book hornets and rift fault lines of the african jihad also in nairobi is. she's a political analyst she's also the executive director of c.s. a place that's an ngo that works to encourage women and young people to participate

in politics good to have you with us on inside story thanks for joining us the most obvious of ali it's now being reported that some of the attackers were in fact kenyans what does that say about al shabaab in kenya and their operations and their ability to strike this way. fast of all these these of course not homegrown terrorists these terrorists that were recruited by al shabaab which is a group operating in somalia what i was shabaab has been doing has been recruiting from among. to sooth your peons british from the united states of america and many other nationalities to fight in their horrible course in somalia well it's not the first time that they've tried to recruit kenyans to fight for their cause think you're only hansen you're nodding along talk to us about this recruitment and how concerning it is. no i was noting because these type of

operations also wisc it there in general planned in somalia and stuff by people trained inside of somalia but as the previous speaker said shabab has been highly successful in the past in recruiting kenyan stands on the ends and indeed no we didn't see dozens one of the attackers from in the westgate was actually on the wheaton seats and so they have been quite successful in recruiting old side of kenya especially outside of somalia story is specially kenya but i suspect these people to be seen the past trained in somalia a part of the core organization of the ship and this mission must have been planned for quite awhile and what is it that makes them so successful at this recruitment i think there is a lot of. things inside kenya that creates for tell groans for recruitment it is poverty it is use a youth employment in addition to that you have a distrust between youths and the police all of these things have to be worked with

but i also have to say that there has been a lot of progress on the kenyan site in doing counterterrorism and also these softer side so for the radicalization in the country while an extremist and a lot of it is handled by the civil society but there has been progress inside kenya and curtailing these efforts by the shabab and this month when the kenyan that works. according to reports by western and regional security officials intelligence services in kenya were in fact warned back in christmas that and shabab was planning some sort of attack in the country on high profile targets and these reports also seem to say that. the intelligence officials were frustrated that they hadn't gotten a greater response from kenyan authorities do you think this attack should have been preempted by security forces in kenya. i think that we have to. and the kind

of situation that we're in because when we talk about terror attacks in kenya they happen quite frequently and for our country within this region where they're ones where it's quite the most so when we talk about warnings we're always receiving warnings there is always higher alert i also remember when we were having our people were traveling they were being warned about terror attacks not just in their role be but we're also talking about malls and also offices and things like that so when you hear people crying wall for setting alarms often off course people will not take that seriously so it's unfortunate that that did happen but i do have to say with that with a security forces handle the situation this time around on tuesday we can see quite an improvement as compared to what happened in twenty thirteen with west yes we do hear. that security forces were in fact on the scene in the hour of when this

attack was taking place but it does still beg the question about the effectiveness of the security or power of parents in kenya seeing that shabab was able to carry out such an attack and kill a number of people. that is true because even when we look at when we drive around they will be for instance a lot of the lights have security cameras were constantly being told to be aware you cannot enter more or any public building without first very faint your identification metal detectors we have security guards who practice down so people our wear that this situation is tense people wear that we do need high security within the country but it is unfortunate when we talk about i've had the previous panelists talk about the high have employment treat and the high number of young people what we're seeing is young people being ostracized we're seeing that they're trying to find a grouping whether it's extremist groups or whatever to feel that they fifteen to

feel that they are part of a community and they can contribute to that so that government not only needs to look about security and securing their country it also needs to look at its young people what is the government doing to make this environment conducive for them so when we do see instances of recruitment when we talk about recruitment of extremist groups such cases are reported although they have started having initiatives we've had lindane she and things of that sort they haven't quite grown when we talk about people reporting incidences of neighbors acting suspicious and things like that so those are some of the conversations that we need to have not fully realized when our security agencies only. go after the westgate assaults of course that took place in twenty thirty in kenyan security forces really crackdown some would say indiscriminately on muslims and as well as ethnics or mollies on the premise that many of them might be members and that in turn so the anger among the community

which some say leads to recruitment is there a risk that the same thing happens now after this attack considering that the president has come out and spoken but he also did say. that he's going to go after other words everybody who carried out this attack you know first of all before answering the question and recruitment you need to be careful what what actually what causes you know terrorism and and hate and recruitment if we compare with twenty thirty in the way the security agencies and forces responded to this particular can do sit a deed to hotel they were efficient swift and they overwhelm the terrorists within minutes the terrorists were put on the defense mode meaning that they were able they were able to to you know immediately carry on the offensive and achieve the lift polity that they had hoped for now this comes as a result of the largely the the reforms that have taken place have been carried out

within the security sector in the country it's of that the proper coordination a better coordination this time and within a very short time they were able to contain the situation pinned down the terrorists to a corner and then rescue of a seven hundred kenyans talking about the big government well some recruitment now compared to day in twenty fourteen when you had these groups controlling the narratives they kind of were controlling the ideology the robust ideological push but engagements and programs and interventions that kenyans have put in place of make sure that these guys no longer control the narrative the their ideology is part of the fact that al-shabaab today can actually see that they carried out the attack because of a lawful reason that the united states of america has shifted its embassy from tel

aviv to jerusalem to see that this is a group on its back foot is not coordinated and that its leadership has been the carpeted and this is this is a large extent as a. out of the security agencies on one side and the communities in kenya watching together to address the challenge of terrorism of course recruitment will always take is it happens in the united states of america in britain in norway there will always be these butt up walls that will be recreated to do this kind of thing going to come over to you in a second because you want to jump in and let stuff ali on well one more point. you're saying that they are on the back foot but here is the assessment by the international crisis group they're saying that al shabab has proven as resilient across parts of east africa as in somalia itself adapting when under pressure by relocating its operations and reorienting its recruitment you don't agree thank you

i just want to read to read that for a terrorist group to remain relevant and to prove its resilience they simply need to carry out you know an attack in a year or an attack after every two years for them to to stage a comeback and this is typical of any terrorist organization al-shabaab has been active inside somalia has been active on the fringes of the kenyan borders in monday but it has never carried out a major terrorist or other it has never staged a major terrorist attack in the capital city of nairobi scene's twenty thirteen when the attack a whiskey ok well they have been trying to attack kenya but most of their plans have been thwarted by security agencies meaning that the unable to penetrate the country as they used to before or right think please go ahead because i see you want to jump in and also tell us why this. particular. no i just need to. also comment on the previous speaker because i agree with him

that the shape of has been weakening inside of kenya but the predictions of bob's death very premature and they stable able inside somalia for that to last years they've been slightly is growing in fact i would say in their influence inside somalia and that's the big dilemma of kenya this has to be sold to a force inside of somalia also its old site of of kenya where these attacks are actually planned and staged into kenya so kenya has done a lot inside their own country and they are not safe yet but there has been progress but when you have these things going on inside somalia then there's bonet to be several attacks in the future and some of them might just sleep through that happens quite easily and in fact some of the kenyan success in some of the courses for the shabab attacking we saw you know that the shape of a bear had one statement blaming the united states and the fact that they

recognized the rousseau lemmas the headquarters of. the capital city of east right but at the same time said bob locally sit do it and distributed several videos talking about kenya and the kenyan intervention because again an intervention was crucial in the defeats that the shape up after all suffered in the period two thousand and eleven until two thousand and fifteen where it kind of stopped allies itself basically they were offensive against its mio the kenyan intervention kenya has been very important inside somalia in the countering shabby influence but as i say no share will be stable and i don't say that this is that trolls of this. organization i don't believe that ok and they remain shabab however was active in kenya even before it intervention in somalia but to what extent have actually bob's activities escalated in your opinion since kenya's intervention in somalia.

i think that it does play a role because when we think about the attack that happened in. twenty sixteen then even after what happened on tuesday a lot of people are asking questions as to why are we still in somalia do we still need to be installed mallya because in twenty sixteen they had said the reason for the attacks was because of our forces our security forces being in somalia they have also been particular cases of where people feel in secure those who are living close to the border and we cannot forget that when they put a security crackdown within this city a lot of saw miley kenyans were put into. a stadium and treated like prisoners and they didn't have access to their basic rate so it created a lot of anger i mean more city and also in areas within our city where we can talk about which is an area that's not far from nairobi which is the c.b.d.

a lot of citizens who are kenyan but of somali descent do not feel like they belong in the country so as much as we talk about internal. appraising we do have to recognize that there are people within our country who are kenyan but they do not even feel kenyan as citizens and that you need self give them more to vision to join extremist groups and that in itself can fuel such things and just because the are linked to some extent a lot of kenyans feel that perhaps it's about time our government starts to begin to talk about exiting sort if in that case has anything to do with their text that happened on tuesday how likely is about a remark in soaring as well that the opposition leader in kenya rolo doing in the past called for troops to be withdrawn last year as well there was a lawmaker there petition the national assembly demanding the same so do you think

that kenyan authorities now are going to be weighing the price that they're willing to pay in light of such attacks in terms of achieving what their objectives are in somalia. i think it's very likely but i do want to be optimistic because we are talking about the security of our country we also have to recognize that we do have a cabinet secretary who is known for being a man of action known for being a man who decides to take things into and use or not hand so it is something that we can all saw put up to the forefront and see put it on the table it's something that can be discussed especially as we talk about the sort of attacks that we're receiving should we be doing the things that we've been doing because at this seem tame is it working for the kenyan people and if it's not what sort of choices do we have to make sure that we change the direction that we're taking for the safety of the kenyan people must be african union mission has recently said that it does aim

to eventually exit from samaya how likely is it that somalian forces will actually be able to maintain security with support. these points and even in the next one it's highly unlikely that the somali national army will be able to contain. on their own. the people somalis the government of somalia will need this multinational force. to continue to support the somali national army to stabilize some of the cities to train the police the the security agencies this there on the somali national army until they are ready to be able to take on fully contain it without that i don't see that this somali national army and the somalis being able to actually contain al-shabaab on their own in the next six months or one year or even

two years so we we are in this for the long haul i think stay give the kenyans withdrew from samaya hypothetically speaking here would that then remove one of the main reasons why al-shabaab targets kenya. do you agree with the people who say that the kenyan intuition prompt a lot of attention from the shabab but we draw no i don't think will be sold and the problems because as the previous speaker said the somali army is not ready to take charge and as i said previously decent tax in the past have been planned in suicide somalia and they've been staged by core members of the group trained inside somalia so somalia isa major problem for kenya and the ship a presence unfortunately i also think that there's something wrong with the strategy inside somalia firstly you have to provide some kind of security and safety in the countryside what happened though is that the shape of has been able

to operate relatively freely in the countryside in supposing liberated areas so they can harness the support from the local population or force the local population in but it's a drop in that proof and if you haven't they say they have suffered step by family and they have they have suffered they they suffered setbacks in the period from twenty eleven until twenty fifteen after twenty fifteen they didn't have that much of setbacks they stumble ised if you look at their attacks for example in mogadishu it stable slightly growing so for the last years this is a stable organization it's not those organization on the verge of collapse but what i don't show me are predicted to collapse many times for the last eighteen years unless you're shaking your head you don't agree. al-shabaab has been reduced to a criminal gang but extorts somalia not reduced to holding to a level where they're just basically competing with isis in certain parts of somalia
