The killing of an innocent young man and the disappearance of the officer responsible continue to raise painful questions. Justice cannot be selective — the officer behind this tragedy must be found and held accountable.
A grieving cousin spoke in anger and pain, later admitted she was wrong, apologized, and was arrested. But since then, we have also seen disturbing clips threatening the Somali community, telling us to “rudi Somalia,” while innocent families continue facing insults, humiliation, fear, and even disruption along the Nairobi–Garissa road.
Let it be known: Kenyan Somalis are not strangers in this country. Northern Kenya is our home. We were born here, raised here, and belong here.
Many people forget the ASAL regions cover about 467,200 to 520,000 square kilometers — nearly two-thirds of Kenya’s land mass. Our community is not small, invisible, or foreign. We are part of Kenya’s history, present, and future.
I call upon the government, security agencies, and all leaders to act swiftly — bring the killer officer to justice, stop hate incitement from all sides, protect citizens, and restore calm before tensions escalate.
We want justice, respect, and peace — not division. Kenya belongs to all of us.
