my bone with the bullet is he said the craft were in working order reserved in store yet their actually scared all over under the sun , dens for rats and snakes. Secondly they tried firing them up for OLN but failed due to rust and decay.

My friend flying crane, I was hoping not to go in detail to get my drift. But as you asked I will try my best to explain. Advance apology with grammatical error; I'm using my the phone. But anyway here is my beef with all this Somalia thing(concerned Kenyan). Everyday that we are(kdf) in Somalia, we Kenyan are soft targets for hard core somalis. Our economy will suffer if this thing is not sorted out on and handed over to Somalis police.

"Gondán Shipyards director, Álvaro Platero said the ship will depart from Figueras in midsummer, and after putting on the necessary weapons, will travel to Kenya. "It is ideal for sailing in the waters of Kenya and Somalia to fight piracy. The ship also is prepared to meet oceanographic features, "he said.
Before leaving for Kenya it will have to make a stop at another port for installation of two sophisticated guns and several machine guns"

SIN has the information too:-

Intelligence reports confirm that Kenya’s naval vessel, KNS Jasiri left Ribadeo, Asturias province, Spain and is sailing home to Mombasa Kenya after it was armed and its crew trained to navigate the vessel.

KNS Jasiri has docked at three different ports in Spain, Ribadeo, Sada and Figueras where it was finally fitted with sophisticated weapons before sailing home to Kenya.

Strategic Intelligence Service confirms that on August 12, 2012 Kenyan Navy OPV KNS JASIRI called to the port of Valletta Malta.

Kenya defense procurement is quite precise on its role, where it hardly procures something it cannot scramble in a timely manner, defense experts have explained in relation to training of the crew.

KNS Jasiri has been armed and fitted with modern naval warship radar and radio besides sophisticated weaponry to handle naval warfare based on the level of threats at the East African maritime environment.

Kenya has the best and most well armed and equipped navy in the East Africa with its British Vosper Thornycroft built fast attack naval boats.

KNS Jasiri is armed to fight piracy and also engage enemy from sea hence armed with long range cannons, and missile launching ports.

Kenya Defense procurement rejected the ship but after EuroMarine agreed to meet the requirement and the KDOD agreed to pay the ship builder completed the naval vessel with both naval warfare and oceanographic survey features.

The ship left its manufacturers dock after it was fitted with the necessary weaponry but stopped at a second port where it was fitted with the sophisticated weapons and long-range machine-guns on various sides of the ship to increase its capacity to engage an enemy from different directions.

Once again SIN publishes an "intelligence" report AFTER basic facts and sources published on this site ....

There's some very disturbing reports from insiders in the police force that the recent spate of tribal killings in Kenya were actually very preventable. What they lacked was the will to prevent them. Apparently, the policemen are on a go slow to protest the delayed implementation of their promised salary appraisals. Now here's the chilling bit, some say that if no positive outcome is forthcoming from the government..Kenya shall be a gangsters paradise. How daft can our politicians be? The other day the speaker addresses the nation saying the need more money for their salaries as the MP's are paid peanuts. This is a guy talking about 800,000 Kshs, aprox 24 mil ug shilling or 16000000 Tz shs every month in 'peanuts' to mps!!!! hii nchi sa zingine!

The bad wolf of the North is dead (RIP Meles) n people are already confused. Rightly so. Who is HaileMariam Desalegn? Is he someone we can trust with Zenawi's big shoes? Much may be unknown at this time but what i know is that the Oromo's may not have it any easy. . . n neither are the Somalis for that matter. At 34% of Ethiopia's population, every Wolatya n Tigray has a reason to have fears of being overun by the numerically larger Oromos. In the end, i don't see a big shift from Zenawi's policies, hey the guy still needs Zenawi's people to help him run the country. However, seeing as we don't know this guy properly, we may be surprised. He may want to seek his own legacy by reconciling with other tribes and nations. This may be Isayas Aferwerkis only chance.

@make it simple,if you read through this blog over the first ten pages,you will know that,amongst other agendas, LAPSSET project is at the top of the list for the wise old man,hence the current deployment of troops in Zoomaaliya.supposing your proposal is followed through on,the progress made in ensuring that the kenyana-zoomaaliya border is secured by friendly forces fails,leading to failure of the LAPSSET project,and hence remaining under powers that be, who dont want us to scale the heights we are capable of. and this is just a drop in the ocean as to why some brave people are across the border right now

A.S. Flee from Kismayo

Apparently the A.S. fighters are sensing imminent defeat and taking off to Jubba Hoose. A senior A.S. commander is also reported to have surrendered to Puntland forces.

"...The joint forces are massing in villages located few Kilometers away from the strategic coastal town of Kismayo and the Al shabab fighters began Saturday, vacating from the city to their nearby strongholds in Lower Jubba region..."

Aboud Moh'd Rogo is a Muslim cleric from Kikambala North Coast. He mainly preaches from Masjid Musa in Majengo-Guraya Mombasa n boy his sermons are something out of this world! Islamic Jihad, gov't persecution n assassinations, war in Somalia..these are among his favourite sermons. Rumour has it that he is responsible for taking many Mombasa youths to Somalia to fight the war on the Al-Shabab side.
At this point i wouldn't exactly know if it's the gov't responsible for it or the Shabab, so i won't speculate. This may stir one hell of a storm in Mombasa.

Man crossed the line, and recrossed back and forth again and again. Court Conviction impossible , coz of our weak and ineffectual anti-Terrorism Law . If it is your call to ''protect and secure'' this Nation and under this circumstance, what would you have done? The fullest extent of his perfidy in corrupting the Coastal youth will soon be manifest in the aftermath of his death - wait and learn! Me, I lose no sleep for this brigand!

According to his wife, Haniya Said Saval, their van had been trailed...the car overtook them and...18 bullets sprayed[/i] on Mr Rogo. Mr Rogo's van swerved off the road where died on the spot.

How many Kenyans and AS do you reckon can group 18-nine-millimetre rounds from a fast-moving platform into a moving evasive head-and-torso and not kill the front-seated passenger inches away, nor critically compromise the two rear-seat passanger from ricochets and pass-through rounds.? I know a good number, none outside Gava!!

Ah! Marka fell early this morning to UGABAB and TFG! Only two significant urban centres now remaining to the AS. Kismayu slowly emptying of AS. Shariff is holding things back with his usual rear-guard BS- now he questions selection of the MPs ( who will vote for a new President) and demands Court intervention!! Other Regions (it is a Federal Constitution under Shariff's attack) are taking up positions for and against Shariff - things could get ugly!

Precising-Strafing by the Bullet-Man - the Deltas dancing! And IAF restricted tech-transfers on enhanced capabilities for 3rd & early 4th generation Fighters.

@Spartan - your Ole Man appears to be sharpening his long knife, man! The Hinds have freaked him terribly. Someone's head is surely on the block over there - hope it ain't yours, buddy!! Very Happy

I caught your Sunday Church Choir and Homily on tape, powerful stuff, exactly what a brother would expect to frankly hear from a favorite brother too!

KNS-Jasiri coming home is much, a hell of lot more, for Kenya than having a big armed / armored boat in our Boma! Everything changes, and dramatically too. Ngojeni hapo hapo!!
