As we mourn a great loss of Kenyans at Mpeketoni, it is rumoured that the attack was profiled on tribal basis not religion as believed. We can not however prove that as it is said that Alshabaab is involved.
Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the deaths of the more than 50 Kenyans, but the President said it was as a result of Raila’s activities in the country. It is believed the attack mainly aimed on Kikuyus who live in the area!!
Here is a list of the 49 dead as provided by Red Cross, and though it is true the majority are Kikuyus, it’s also true the majority of residents in Mpeketoni are Kikuyus.
Put no judgement on the attackers because a bullet doesnt choose.
