Cash-strapped Kenya suspends construction of border wall btn Somalia and Kenya

[Kunyongo]

Kumbe kweli wenzetu Kenya wana shida kubwa na security ya nchi yao. Hii yote ya kujenga fence mpakani ni kuangaika. Si waombe Msaada wasaidiwe!

Ile KDF walkway katikati itabadiika kuwa shooting range ya al shaabab very soon as can only accommodate a KDF solder on foot or on a bicycle. To me it is a booby trap of sort for a soldier on patrol n I wish best of lucky for whoever to be stationed there.

[emoji3] wakenya bwana wanachekesha sana wanadhani hiyo fensi ndiyo itazuia al shabab kweli nakumbuka game ya Hitman nilivyo kuwa nawatungua maaskari kwanao zunguka kulinda fensi

Tanzania's President John Magufuli has officially inaugurated the Great Mirerani Wall, built in the north of the country to prevent the theft of tanzanite, a rare gemstone.

In September, Mr Magufuli ordered the military to build the wall, which is 24km long, in order “to control illegal mining and trading activities”.

The blue-violet tanzanite gemstone is found only in the country.

This is the first time Tanzania has built a wall to protect its mines, and some believe that other countries grappling with smuggling may also build them.
