Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Kenya: Muslims storm military base, murder 3 Americans

Jan 10, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Al-Shabaab stormed a military base used by Kenyan and U.S. forces and murdered 3 Americans. A statement was issued by AFRICOM Commander-U.S. Army General Stephen Townsend:

Alongside our African and international partners, we will pursue those responsible for this attack and al-Shabaab who seeks to harm Americans and U.S. interests. We remain committed to preventing al-Shabaab from maintaining a safe haven to plan deadly attacks against the U.S. homeland, East African and international partners.

The problem is that there are certain “international partners” that, instead of helping, they are facilitating the jihad by ushering in jihadists through suicidal immigration policies, while pretending that those who have justifiable concerns are anti-immigrant and xenophobic. Globalist leaders have abandoned sensible immigration policies. Their agenda should be obvious by now.

On the same day that Al-Shabaab murdered 3 Americans, Kenyan police also arrested three jihadists who tried to storm a British army training camp in the Kenyan county of Laikipia. A British Army spokesperson tried to minimize the threat by stating that “the force did not believe there was a direct threat to UK personnel or assets.” But clearly the jihadists were not trying to break in to have tea. Of course there was a threat to UK personnel.

“Kenya: Al-Shabaab kills 3 Americans in attack on Kenya base,” by Andrew Wasike, Muslim News, January 8, 2020:

NAIROBI, Kenya (AA): The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) confirmed Sunday that a U.S. service member and two Defense Department contractors were killed when al-Shabaab militants stormed a military base used by Kenyan and U.S. forces in Lamu county near Kenya’s border with Somalia.

“During an attack by al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda group in East Africa, earlier today, one (1) U.S. service member and two (2) Department of Defense contractors were killed at a Kenya Defense Force Military Base in Manda Bay, Kenya,” AFRICOM said in a statement.

The U.S. said two Defense Department members were also wounded and that they are currently in stable condition and being evacuated.

AFRICOM Commander U.S. Army General Stephen Townsend said the names of the dead and wounded are being withheld until their next of kin are notified.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of our teammates who lost their lives today,” Townsend said in a news release.

“Alongside our African and international partners, we will pursue those responsible for this attack and al-Shabaab who seeks to harm Americans and U.S. interests. We remain committed to preventing al-Shabaab from maintaining a safe haven to plan deadly attacks against the U.S. homeland, East African and international partners”.

The pre-dawn attack involved indirect and small arms fire.

Kenyan defense forces announced they had successfully repulsed the attack, killing four militants.

AFRICOM confirmed that there was damage to infrastructure and other equipment, noting that reports indicated that six contractor-operated civilian aircraft were damaged to some degree…..

    Hey Yanks…….did you just pay 3 young American lives as jizya to these criminals? Was the sacrifice accompanied with a lot of public humiliation? Or did you just sweep them out the back door on the quiet after all its only Africa?

      Screw your head back on, elee, and take a moment to actually read the article. 1 (one) soldier and 2 (two) contractors (age unknown) were killed. 4 (four), 1,2,3,4 of the attackers were killed. Now the Americans will design a response that will kill many more terrorists, and it won’t be very quiet.

        elee’s comment my be absurd, but it would appear to me that their security measures weren’t adequate, considering the situation….

          I agree that there should not be a security problem.. taking into consideration today’s modern technology and modern manpower this should have never happened but….this is a joint base..Who is actually responsible for security…We may never know why this happened…when there is another nation involved mouths shut up quickly where blame should be placed but a concerted effort, by all SANE nations,….(side note):..SANE NATIONS ARE BECOMING SCARCE)…. aught to be placed on wiping out any and all Muslims who are involved in ANY jihad/terrorist action…ANYWHERE!

    This major news was barely mentioned in the MSM, as in they backpaged it. I never saw it on the homepage of any news site. I guess American lives are cheap when it comes to protecting Muslims from the consequences of their beliefs and actions.
