a problem in kenya is many security forces are not trusted by kenyans. political goal is going to be - to win over somalis in the region and address the greenances that somalis in general have felt. and socially the key is going to be to convince the somali kenyans that they are going to have to engage in community policing. this group is ultimately burdening them with many more costs than anyone else. they'll pay a heavy price for the attacks in terms of police crackdowns in terms of lost investments in northern kenya. which is slighted to receive kenya's biggest infrastructure development project. 26 billion project. it could be in jeopardy if this group is not brought under control. >> threts against somali kenyans, it's terrible to do that. for a long time kenya was a state that was able to sustain multiple or religious neutralism -- pluralism without a degree of tension. >> this is the saddest thing about the attack not just the loss of the lives, but a loss of sense of togetherness. that is at risk. this is what al-shabab is trying to do as it meta
