Use clan system to salvage security in nfd
Security has been rampant in major towns of North Eastern Province even before Kenya forces entered Somalia to secure its borders and putting together some kind of authority that could act as buffer zone.

Thirty minutes after 2012 calendar commenced, Al-shabaab supporters in Garissa have violently slayed two ogaden men together with five other Kenyans. These actions decipher the words of those clan based religious leaders of al-shabaab who  vowed to destabilise Kenya and at one point threatened to eliminate influential ogaden officials in the government.  The same destabilisation threats by the al-shabaab sheikhs are replicated in Bosaso of Puntland.

Al-shabaab terror group infiltrated the locals and without misdemeanours against the blameless, it’s the duties of the armed forces to sieve the rogue elements who are the enemy within.

Mr Kusow who declined his full name fearing Al-shabaab sympathisers said. “In Somalia, the imperialist triumph accelerated when they applied clan based system to contain the disobedience and uprisings against its rules. A lesson from the colonial, Kusow continued “the provincial commissioner and the security committee should gather sufficient intelligence when incidents of insecurity occurs for example instances when an aid worker is kidnapped the tribes of those kidnapers should bear the brunt to release the seized by their tribes men whether paying ransom or not”.

Abdul, an aid worker himself alleges that a rumour is out there that “one among those who abducted the MSF workers in October 2011 at Ifo camp worked for MSF and their tribes are known”.
