  11. BBC News Survivors have told the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission how they were forced to strip naked and to lie on the ground. They were held for five days without food and water. Clothes doused in petrol were put on them and some were burnt to death. Those who tried to escape were shot. The dead bodies were not buried but were dumped in the nearby bushes where they were eaten by hyenas. Justice? A group of women, some of them widows, cried as they returned to give evidence in the area where they were tortured and their loved ones killed. Sahara Kanaan is still haunted by what she witnessed. "It is the government that murdered our people. I lost my father, my three brothers and my uncle on this same ground," she said. " The government should bring justice for the murder of our people ." ..
  12. It is unfortunate that even today, 28 years later, the population of NFD is still being oppressed, persecuted and disciminated in their own lands. Somalis are routinely arrested for no reason, denied ID cards or a passport. Very recently hunderds of Somalis are being arrested and beatin, imprisoned, tortured. Women are raped both in Dadaab and NFD by Kenyan army/police without any repercussions. More regularly Kenyan police arrest young Somali men, with the standard procedure being that they have to pay a bribe in return for their freedom. Very sad.
  13. It is that month of the year when thousands upon thousands, nearly 10,000, Somalis were massacred in Kenya. AUN the Victims of Wagalla & Garissa Massacre. Samir iyo Imaan to their relatives who still have not received justice. The Garissa Massacre was a 1980 massacre of ethnic Somali residents by the Kenyan government in the Garissa District of the North Eastern Province, Kenya. The incident occurred when government forces set fire to a residential estate called Bulla Kartasi, killing people and raping women. They then forcefully interned the populace in a primary school for three days without food or water, resulting in over 3000 deaths.[ The Wagalla massacre took place on February 10, 1984 at the Wagalla Airstrip. The Wagalla massacre was a massacre of ethnic Somalis by Kenyan security forces. About 5,000 Somali men were then taken to an airstrip and prevented from accessing water and food for five days before being executed by Kenyan soldiers.[
  14. Rape by Kenyan Police In 2010 Human Rights Watch interviewed Somali women who were raped by Kenyan police near Dadaab. Despite promises from the police that they would conduct investigations into allegations of rape and other police abuses, none of the officers implicated in the rapes were ever prosecuted. In January 2011 Human Rights Watch received allegations of Kenyan police raping a newly arrived asylum seekers. According to a journalist who interviewed the victims shortly after the incident, the victims were raped by three police officers from Dadaab police station. UNHCR staff confirmed that they had received the rape report. Police told Human Rights Watch they were aware of the cases, but claimed that their investigations did not enable them to identify the perpetrators. No one was prosecuted for the crimes ; instead, the police response was to transfer the implicated police officers from Dadaab to other stations. ..
  15. Kenya Arests 300 Somalis. MANDERA, Kenya — Following an explosion in which one Kenyan soldier was killed, more than 300 Somalis living nearby were arrested by Kenya military forces , said Mandera Town Council Chairman Mohamed Adan Khalif. He said he had been inside the police station and had seen many people who had been severely beaten. A prominent local businessman and the imam of the Mandera Jamia mosque seemed to have broken arms , he said. “Whenever attacks occurred in our town our military officers turns against our innocent population living in the town,” he said. “We fear if this kind of harassment continues , the (Kenyan army) will lose the hearts and minds of the locals ... Nobody shall expect a co-operation from intimidated people.” The explosion was believed to be caused by a land mine, said provincial police boss Leo Nyongesa. Security officers were combing the scene of crime for clues but the truck they were riding in was destroyed, he said. Kenyan planes bombed two suspected al-Shabab camps on Wednesday, Chirchir said Thursday. ..
  16. Nov 25, 2011 Kenya arrests hundreds of Somalis after deadly attacks blamed on al-Shabaab Kenyan authorities have arrested hundreds of Somalis after attacks, a local broadcaster KTN reported on Friday. The arrests seemed to be focused on ethnic Somalis who live in the north-east of the country. Kenya launched a military assault against the al-Shabaab militia in neighbouring Somalia, sending in hundreds of troops, backed by the air force, to set up a buffer area in the border region. December 8, 2011 100 'suspects' arrested after attack More than 100 Somali 'suspects' were arrested at the Dadaab refugee camp on Tuesday following an attack a day earlier that killed a policeman and wounded three other officers. North Eastern Provincial Commissioner Joseph ole Serian told Capital News that the suspects were being interrogated over the attack and those found culpable would be arraigned in court. “Yes, we have arrested 100 suspects in today’s (Tuesday’s) security operation,” the PC said. There was no immediate indication what charges would be preferred against the suspects. “Others are being interrogated to establish if they were involved in the attack or any other criminal activity in the camp,” the officer said. ..
  17. Kenya: Security Forces Abusing Civilians Near Somalia Border ‘There Are No Human Rights Here,’ Military Officer States 12/01/2012 History repeating itself The Kenyan security forces are beating and arbitrarily detaining citizens and Somali refugees in Kenya’s North Eastern province, which borders on Somalia, despite repeated pledges to stop such abuses, Human Rights Watch said today. On January 11, 2012, in the latest of a series of incidents documented by Human Rights Watch since October 2011, security forces rounded up and beat residents of Garissa, the provincial capital, in an open field within the enclosure of the local military camp. A Human Rights Watch researcher witnessed the incident. “ When military officers can beat civilians in broad daylight without fearing repercussions, it’s clear that impunity has become the norm ,” said Daniel Bekele, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “Repeated promises by both the police and the military to stop these abuses and investigate have amounted to nothing.” The Kenyan police and military have been responsible for a growing number of serious abuses against civilians since the Kenya Defence Forces entered southern Somalia in October, with the stated aim of eliminating al-Shabaab, an Islamist militia. The same month, suspected al-Shabaab sympathizers initiated a series of attacks against police, military, and civilian targets in Kenya. In response, members of the security forces have been responsible for rape, beatings, looting, and arbitrary arrests of civilians. The crackdown has largely targeted Somali refugees and Kenyan ethnic Somalis, but residents of other ethnic backgrounds in North Eastern province have also been victimized. The incident in Garissa on January 11 involved Kenyan citizens who told Human Rights Watch that they had been arbitrarily detained by the military. One of them, Ali Ibrahim Hilole, was at a shop across from the military camp buying items for a hospitalized relative when a military officer said to him: “Why are you standing here? So you’re al-Shabaab.” Soldiers forced him to accompany them to the camp, where they kicked him and told him to roll around on the ground. Yusuf Khalif Mohamed, a long distance truck driver, stopped in Garissa for a soft drink on his way from Mombasa to Dadaab, where he was to make a food delivery for UNICEF. He parked his truck near the military camp, not knowing that parking was prohibited there. A military officer forced him to come to the camp, where soldiers threw a 20-liter container of water on him, forced him to roll on the ground, kicked him on the side, and hit him on the head with the butt of a gun. Mohamed told Human Rights Watch that one of them said, “I think you are al-Shabaab. You are bothering us in Somalia, and now you’ve come to bother us here.” Both men, along with at least five to seven others who were similarly detained and mistreated – most of them truck drivers, and all of them Kenyan citizens – were released after 30 minutes. They were not interrogated or charged with any crime. A Human Rights Watch researcher who attempted to visit the military camp to speak to the officer in charge witnessed soldiers forcing several men to lie down in the dirt and forcing another man to frog-jump across the field and to assume various gymnastic positions. Military personnel refused entry to Human Rights Watch, one of them stating, “There are no human rights here.” The events in Garissa follow a series of human rights violations by security forces against ethnic Somalis and others. On November 11, soldiers in Garissa rounded up ethnic Somalis arbitrarily on the basis of their appearance, beat them, and forced them to sit in dirty water while interrogating them. On November 24, following two grenade attacks on civilian targets in Garissa and an improvised explosive device (IED) attack on a military convoy in Mandera, police and soldiers rounded up hundreds of suspects in both towns. Some were beaten so severely that they suffered broken limbs. In the days following the attacks, suspects were arrested at random. Human Rights Watch interviewed some who were taken to Garissa military camp and forced to do humiliating exercises, such as standing on their heads, and were beaten if they could not comply. Explosions in the town of Wajir in early December were also followed by arbitrary arrests and beatings. A local activist in Wajir told Human Rights Watch that after an IED went off on December 12, injuring an intelligence officer and several others, police and soldiers rounded up and beat ethnic Somalis over the next three days. “They criminalize all Somali people,” he said. “Whenever a crime is committed, detaining and torturing people doesn’t seem like a good security strategy. It is creating a barrier between the people and the security forces.” The worst abuses took place at Dadaab, home to over 460,000 mostly Somali refugees. After further explosions targeting police vehicles on December 19 and 20, one of them killing a police officer, police reacted angrily, beating refugees, and, in several cases, raping women. The chair of the Supreme Council of Muslims of Kenya, which conducted investigations in the camps, said that Kenyan police raped at least seven women following the explosions. Other victims suffered broken limbs. A Garissa-based organization, Citizen Rights Watch, found that on the same occasion police looted dozens of shops, stealing over 27 million Kenyan shillings (US$310,000) worth of property and money that refugee traders stored in their shops. Garissa residents interviewed by Human Rights Watch complained that police have not conducted thorough investigations to identify the actual perpetrators of either the initial attacks or the subsequent abuses by the security forces. “Kenya’s security forces are rightly concerned about attacks by suspected al-Shabaab members, and should be doing more, not less, to identify the attackers,” Bekele said. “But beating, raping, and humiliating innocent Kenyan citizens and Somali refugees accomplishes nothing. Those in the security forces who are responsible for these abuses should be investigated and prosecuted.” ..
