lou, this is carissa. the get went to kenya's, ne probus, my hometown, or 5 months before they'll talk soon, they will be. i came back to investigate escalating violence before kenya's invasion of somalia. these were the safest trys in the country. it's a bit unnerving for me if i can put it that way. i also said that i finally have to come back to my hometown to co conflict and killings. something i've done across africa. i've never felt like this is security is making things look totally different. you know, i've, i've been covering other incidents in other places. this fault in the back of your

mind that you go back home, it's safe. everybody is 5. not anymore. in canyon somalis account for about 5 percent of the population, just one or 4 to 2 tribes that make up this country with 4 centuries will leave doesn't enormous. in the semi i did, lots of the ne keeping camels, goats, and canceled. my own father grew up the son of a camel hud, and i'm going to bring me here to the market to meet my uncles and cousins when they came from tom to trade. since i was a boy, it has grown to be the largest in a result of the 2 decayed civil war across the border in somalia, which med cody said the safest unwelcome been in place to buy and so

on. it's still the best place to find out what is really going on. hello decorum. so this is sandy. are you so hell, that's exactly f as in we're the opposite. i look on the get we should get on the hill. hopefully we'll edit. i am on amazon, but it has all been a lot going on or you will come yet. they listen, look, holler, i'm doing. i do live in laguna. so my legacy ash, my bill was issued. they are held on. i had a daughter dinner, lead elementary elder, somebody in the kingdom, government called invasion linda in g kiswahili for protect the nation or response to cross border read spells. sure, bob, but this part of the nation has not been protected since 2011. there been more than a 100 incidents of violence in the province garish a small man, somali population have all too often been the target. 3 days before i arrived

another taco cardona, small street cafe. in the center of town, the bullet hole still clearly visible, lethia. there was a glitch. look here. some people are late. olivia. some 2 of us were shut leisurely. you don't insecure him. lou. lou feel very insecure billing in winter. the fullest vision is just 300 meters are killing someone is becoming a real fluttering a ticket. so you keep on people continually he woke up tomorrow just hunger before 2011. the whilst gary's the hospital had to deal with was the occasional car crash. it's unsettling to find the place you are treated as a child. turned into a trauma center. 9 people wash up that last night and more than 20

injured, one of them fatally. most of the victims were lifted tonight will be living only 2 young boys just out of secondary school. jackson motto was forced into the corner of the dinah's tried to escape. he was struck repeatedly, one bullet, shuttering the bone in his right leg. i mean shows agile customer lives. so glad i met with people who had been shot dead, someone dead past in your heart. when do you feel awhile not to talk with them? i told you i had to go to food yet in june. my was, i don't know. the reason why you can disco my shoot and kill innocent people who are not good after some was good. have come down. yes. to a does his to people out that i,

to people just to us as innocent citizens and then no, nothing could down check us cafe was popular with workers from other parts of kenya . and because it's soft, alcohol was unlikely to contain somalis who are almost exclusively muslim. oh, it's hard need to dream parents with the really just one is in other patching and shrieking. and this is perhaps what the perpetrators wanted. but carissa has a history of really just tolerance and it's a month she had the tons of grief. this is a memorandum which was a good opponent by the muslim scholars and lead as in god is a town, particularly after the killing of the 9 people. and last week, we are against what, what is going on and we condemn with their strongest to watch disposable. i find

he's not busy against the teachings of islam which says that killing off one innocent soul ease equal to kill in all, all the people of on, on this off for the outsider. this offers a confusing picture. the herders and motions residents, any mums all denounced the attacks and yet no one comes forward to help the police . but to understand these products, you don't need to look too far. when i talk to like these are called, the government flooded the town with police. not just local police from the province, but to riot police from night or the perpetrators and all these on are long gone. living the residents of the town to face the 1st and all too often, the forces act like an occupying army, a

one of the things i loved about my hometown was the way it came alive in the cool of the evening. now a cough you sense every one home at dusk, living the streets empty and leading to unflattering comparisons with somalia notoriously dangerous capitol. at nighttime, it is found this dislike militia. here has been in fact, better than that if, as you're speaking now, because i found it as yet that to my time, you know, to polish mon morgan, not his civilian movie. in what ways has the security. the killings affected the people in town, 60 percent have no idea. have never been issued the day because you know, they still couldn't just do it. and without any of these issues now with as a youth in a bad position whereby they don't have a defense. if you don't have a degree, you're like an ally, then it has to live to so many we've, you've been arrested. some of them been taken that where we don't know up to enough

youth, a finding himself cornered in both said they have been here. they have been kill battleship up sympathizer. here they've been given the i don't your government that has failed to issues on people with i didn't stick, then arresting them is not lost on the population. nor is the real reason behind the round ups. unable to prevent these killings or catch the proper treatise, the government falls back on a tripe, untested formula form of his promise. collective punishment. although gary saw seen almost 2 decades of peace before the current violence. my generation on that of my parents and grandparents are all too familiar with these tactic. for me. the 1st taste of what it was to be a kenyan somali came in 1980. when i was only 5 years old for government officials had been shot dead in a bind getty set by

a group of unknown gunman. that night the police came to only boat. this is well housewares. it's been almost 30 years, but i still remember playing with my friends on the streets here. part of a closely knit community that was completely destroyed. i remember during that night we were foster snippets. was it on 10 o'clock at night, and suddenly we will, will, can up by loud noises of people running away as well as at a lot of it kills happening around us. now when we got out of our house, if it wasn't any thing like what you're seeing here right now, it was a mud ruled fudged house. and when we stood outside missile, so many people running away in this direction. some of them running with their

keyed so women are looking for their kids and shouting loudly, the names of the children. and when we looked in this direction, we saw the flames lifting the sky. most of the houses around here was on fire. the policeman, one not far away from us and not, and we could hear them shouting the siding of the guns. and suddenly we joined the people who were running away for their lives. and then i remember on the other side or for our house was a house that belonged to one of my dogs. very good friends. and we had that some of the soldiers were already in there. and moments later, as we were running away, we could hear him shouting as he was shot dead. despite the unhappy memories, finding myself here again after so many years, that temptation to see the place i spent, my earliest is, is too strong to resist. la lego. but in these times,

no guest is welcome and it takes a while to overcome the current owners suspicion today. however, 2nd, it's a bit funny that i have to say permission to see the spot where i was born. i am a little bit around cassandra than been i've been via, i've mogan mogan then had witnesses my guess only the briefest glimpse of where i used to leave before the lady changes her mind, but after our house was burned down, my parents were left with nothing no compensation, no apology was still the government simply give the land to some one else, living us destitute. they know that they're not the original owner of the london not belong to them from the beginning, but maybe they bought it from the puzzle. who got it off the we was ejected out, but still, you know, they know the circumstances with which they got this lun. so it's painful and say

winful experience of losing everything you have at such a young age is hard to explain it as in pot shaped jolla. maybe it's what pushes me to report on other places destroyed by conflict. we spent several years living in rented accommodations until my father had saved enough to buy another plot of land. it's been hard being in town without coming straight to see her as i usually would said that my father never went to school but spent his whole life walking as a house builder to ensure that my sister, my brother and i got the opportunities he never had this after a lifetime of had to walk daddy, now we can look after him. a. my father's memories of that night are clouded by the passing years. but some details remained vivid while they were ready. i might,

can have a whole bodily ha. yeah, i saw him and his got to see old or in her over and over the you the rule hubbard was 0. busy here is variable i market 40 or get marty will gray. ah, he'll come welcome. we'll get ah, a mattress. m as a me, morgan larry. i haven't heard hammer my little. ha! i want to store cold. ah, i on her and i, oh god, no matter what i'm 0 anyway. me or hassle id? well, a summary he was so we're hardly by little. ok i louis. wow. bear or somebody seen a mother, or you can miss what a kind of can will them can a ha, ha ha, ha ha. marie shook her by and up k andrew smith. while i did,

andrew had a bad yankee. i had the head of julian a hulu, of the family was jojo, i'm all so molly had the so who are you? not. my father's attitude tried entities, simple as long as his picks the local language. he is cannon cabassos, the school playground, where most of the town was in tom, in the heat of a canaan. summer is to day the local football pitch do but ali, now i respect that elder was the same it as this young man when he was rounded up that night following the killing of the for government officials. there were 2 landra was military, landra was with a lotus with us telling us, come out of your house, and if you don't come, you will, you will regret. so every morning and get his, i came to this air to this field. we were surrounded,

we stayed in the sun up to midday, and then around as idiot p m. they said women can go to their homes. we thought they were kind, they are good people by the living, the woman. but it is one of the west to day of the history of this region where almost every woman was ripped. almost every woman was ripped, by the security to for my, the security forces, and particularly by the and me and the police. so we spend the night here, we stayed until the following day in law. and then i think we were elizabeth about it something lake near city p. m. when several people died. the but it is government did not subject to the most to what the families have.

this objected most by my government and kenneth has gone. i still don't understand what would make the government want to punish an entire community an entire town. you know, the government is not that governmental as about our government. that government awed asked law eleger this because we're not bottled up gully. we hadn't, we did not have ministers. we didn't without civil fellas in arizona in the gilman . so it was more or less like the put atoria government claiming to put aside the back, the comparisons with upper types of african, the british treatment of kenneth ma, ma, independence fight as may seem far fetched. but the level of violence used by the whites to maintain power in the last half of the 20th century paints into insignificance when compared to the violence used against my community. but the

war between kenyon somalis under kenyan government known disparagingly as the shift to all bonded war, has remained one of africa's forgotten conflicts. that british hot always ruled this area, which they called the mo, frontier district or an f d with a very light hand. they saw the somalis as good soldiers, but, but subjects as a somali, if you wanted to cross that tunnel, remain to kenya, you needed to seek permission. the n f d was to all intents and purposes, a separate country. when kenya's independence was being negotiated in 96 to to the british agree despite strong opposition from kenyan leaders. now the end of you will get a chance to vote on whether to join some malia or ken the commission. they sent us published, overwhelming support for joining somalia. but the british won willing to split the

country on the eve of independence, despite their promise to listen to the people for kenyans somalis, this was a terrible betrayal. they refused to vote in their elections, unquote, tech, nor pleasure. from the independent celebrations in far way nairobi they were left with no choice but to take up arms supported in part by the somebody republic. the response of kenya's president jamal kenyatta was uncompromising. he declared as taint of images and with the help of the same british military that suppressed the mouth. rising, kenya went to war against its own people. the tactics used by the military. what to be the same village is ition. the mass internment of little rural population in concentration comes detention without trial on something given that british hadn't never, openly admitted. a should took killed policy thousands while to die on the

destruction of livestock force. many more into the toms altering for ever the way of life in north east province. while i look at deco my limbs symbol was one of the leaders of nf dease independence struggle sorrow as a leader. and i am a suitable guy because well, who gave me like in missouri to escalate union government? yeah, mm. interesting of it during this history because weight is no good in have you tanka duck is leather high. hello the in the had the love other law moral akela bill. i had to had that a local marker, an advocate. get it in a got gone. okay. oh fucking and lumpy. came in at diaz to see the had the suzanne while i had you out. welcome hireright. miss veronica. had to had anna had get in there and again,

it's evelyn muscular. the end of the you have got it on bill taylor. how go america? it looks good. all those go that route. i so i don't know that the governor law regina had they, when i get it, can i, when i was, has them men and women in a barbara looking over this little region the war officially kept on and in 1967 when tanzania broke out a deal between kenyan somalia, i think the end of somalia is physical and moral support left kenyans tamales with more choice but to surrender the canaan government paraded the former shifter for the commerce but did not revoke the state of emergency. nor did it forget what it saw as the disloyalty of its somali population as was to be demonstrated in carissa . 13 years later the government has always maintained that no one died in the operation. in 1980, no one was robbed. no one draped. local folklore tells of the bodies, big,

dumb thoughts. nice in the near by ton ariba on a death tall in the hundreds if what happened in got is i was a tragedy. what those to hop in, in what g a in the heart of not is province 5 years later, was to eclipse all past atrocities the you and called it the waft human rights violation in kenya's history. and this is no exaggeration whether it's cute and cuddly in australia, wild and ferocious in bangladesh, birth rise, we dress is the balance between endangered wild life. and then noisy neighbors. that fussy about forest right there. and there's nothing between the how you have a dead and the human habitat learning to live together on al jazeera,

how many people here have seen a tiger my big. oh really. can you hear it? anticipation, these rising excitement is growing. as cattle always brings your favorite teen to cut off for the fever arab. com. 2021. greatness is in the air. late sore is juan and rich new heights. join us in cattle from november, the 30th to december. the 18th booked your package. now at canton, airways dot calm. i worked out there english since its lordship, as a principal presenter and as a correspondence with any breaking the story we want to hear from those people who would normally not get their voice is heard on the international news channels. one moment i'll be very proud of was when we covered the depaula quake of 2015, a terrible natural disaster on the story that needs to be told from the hall of the

affected area. to be there to tell the people story was very important at the time . ah, don't, roberson don't have the top stories on al jazeera sh. at least 4 people have been killed by an explosion in iraq's southern city of basra. the bloss happened to me or a hospital, several other people were injured. mom or dad, the wife has more fun, doha, the bus or a girl province has just declared 3 days morning, up for the victims of the at the attack. i witnesses in the scene said that at a man just park it a motor bike at near 2 vehicles and left and then it exploded.
